The auto parts industry in Mexico faces a monumental challenge: managing and cataloging up to 12 million SKUs in a country with over 53 million vehicles in circulation, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). A single vehicle can have between 70,000 and 90,000 parts, which complicates logistics and inventory management. According to a report by Finanzas en Tacones (2024), only artificial intelligence can efficiently organize this complexity.
At the same time, e-commerce is gaining ground: in 2023, 3 out of 10 Mexicans purchased automotive parts or accessories on digital platforms, according to the portal Aftermarket International (2023). The main reasons include:
-
39% cited the ability to buy anytime, anywhere;
-
34% valued fast delivery;
-
36% highlighted time savings by avoiding travel.
Alephee: the bridge between the physical and digital worlds
In this context, Alephee positions itself as a regional benchmark. The company, according to its corporate portal (News Alephee, 2024), connects brands, distributors, and retailers to digitalize supply and online sales. This includes:
-
creation and management of digital catalogs,
-
order management,
-
access to real-time business intelligence.
This centralized approach transforms the supply chain into a value chain, allowing all actors to operate with synchronized information and more transparent processes— a strategy that, according to Alephee, generates greater competitiveness in the market.
Real cases showing tangible impact
General Motors in Latin America: General Motors strengthened its digital auto parts and accessories channels in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, enabling its dealerships to also grow in the e-commerce environment.
Argenparts (Mexico): the distributor shifted from a traditional model to digital, making Mercado Libre one of its main channels, thanks to online catalog and inventory management.
Tienda de Cardan: the company, with over 40 years of history, digitized its catalog and began reaching the end consumer directly through Mercado Libre.
Technology serving every link
Digitalization does not only impact sales. According to an analysis published in El Heraldo de México (2024), the use of big data and advanced analytics enables:
-
identifying failures at early stages,
-
managing risks in the supply chain,
-
responding more quickly to quality issues or demand spikes.
This generates direct benefits: workshops confirm parts compatibility in seconds; distributors synchronize prices and inventories in real time; and the end consumer accesses clear, reliable catalogs with faster deliveries.
A future defined by integration
Demand for automotive parts is growing at an unprecedented pace and requires flexible and coordinated supply chains. In this scenario, Alephee consolidates as a key player, connecting suppliers, distributors, and retailers in a cohesive digital network where information flows and updates instantly.
This model not only optimizes processes but also redefines the end consumer experience. In a market where immediacy, transparency, and reliability are decisive, digital transformation, as recent cases show, is the engine redefining the auto parts sector in Mexico and Latin America.
