Autoverse Mobility has announced a strategic integration with GetAFix, a garage management platform developed by Evenforce Technologies. The partnership aims to link parts procurement with workshop operations into a single digital workflow.

The system connects participants across the automotive aftermarket value chain, including manufacturers, distributors, garages and mechanics.

The core of the integration allows parts procurement requests to originate within the GetAFix platform for fulfilment by Autoverse. When a service advisor creates a job card or estimate, the system enables part identification, pricing and availability checks.

Real-time updates are reflected within GetAFix, providing workshops with visibility over the fulfilment process. For multi-brand garages, this eliminates manual coordination between workshop management and parts sourcing.

The integration provides specific outcomes for different sectors of the industry:

• Garages and Mechanics: Access to parts with assured fitment and reduced turnaround times for vehicle repairs.
• Manufacturers and Suppliers: Direct demand signals from repair jobs allow for improved forecasting and availability planning.
• Distributors: Predictability is enhanced through digitised order flows.
• Customers: Access to transparent estimates and faster repair completion.

Mihir Mohan, Founder and CEO, Autoverse Mobility, said, “The automotive aftermarket has traditionally operated in silos, with manufacturers, distributors, garages, and mechanics working on disconnected systems. This integration with GetAFix is a step toward changing that reality by building a connected ecosystem where information, demand, and fulfilment flow seamlessly from the factory floor to the mechanic’s bay.”

Srinath Rao, Founder and CEO, GetAFix, added, “Our focus has always been on simplifying workshop operations. By integrating Autoverse’s procurement and fulfilment capabilities directly into GetAFix, we are extending that simplicity beyond the workshop to the entire aftermarket ecosystem.”

The collaboration is designed to create a data-driven aftermarket system that reduces inefficiencies between production and last-mile consumption.
