Data infrastructure for the auto parts industry
About Partly
Partly is a company that has developed a platform to connect buyers and sellers of automotive parts. The company was founded by former Rocket Lab engineer Levi Fawcett in 2020, who identified the inefficiencies in the auto parts industry as a major problem. The company's main goal is to make it easier for people to find the right car parts, and it does this by providing the necessary infrastructure for the industry.
Read full description
The company operates in a $2 trillion industry that is plagued by outdated processes and fragmented software. Partly aims to solve these problems by creating a global data infrastructure for the automotive parts industry. This infrastructure helps manufacturers and retailers to organize, manage, and distribute their parts data. The company has a team of data scientists, engineers, and automotive veterans who have built algorithms that can process and standardize parts data from various sources.
Partly's business model is based on providing a platform for buyers and sellers to connect and transact. The company is active in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe, and it has a global team that is dedicated to its mission. The company has raised significant capital from investors, which has helped it to become New-Zealand's fastest-growing startup.
