Match customer part numbers to your items

Matches customer and manufacturer part numbers to your item codes, using your cross-reference list and product data. Your inside sales team confirms each new match.

Problem

Customers order with their own part numbers, a manufacturer number or a competitor’s code. Someone looks up each one, compares descriptions and specs, and finds the matching item in your catalog. Known matches sit in spreadsheets and in people’s memory.

What it does

YP checks each number against your cross-reference list first. For unknown numbers it compares manufacturer part numbers, descriptions and specs with your item master and proposes a match, with the basis shown. Confirmed matches are added to the list.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

The work starts with any list of customer part numbers. A bid, an order or a spreadsheet that contains those numbers starts the run.

Each number is first checked against the matches you already have. Numbers that are already in your cross-reference list are matched to your items directly.

Unknown numbers are compared with your product data. YP compares them on manufacturer part number, description and specs in your item master and PIM, including ETIM features where you have them.

Each proposed match shows the fields it is based on. Lines that have no clear match are flagged, and YP does not guess a match for them.

Your inside sales team decides on every new match. The team confirms or corrects each one, and confirmed matches are saved to the cross-reference list.

The outcome

Each confirmed match is written down once and reused. The knowledge stays with the company.

YP matches customer and competitor part numbers to your item codes, so your inside sales team quotes faster and fewer wrong items ship.

How it runs

Designed for enterprise.

Private

Runs on your infrastructure. Drawings, prices, client and claims data never train a model.

Explainable

Not a black box. An AI auditor checks that every task was done as intended and proposes improvements.

Traceable

Every value links to the document, rule or record it came from. Every step is logged. A named person approves anything that leaves the building.

Your systems

Works in your ERP, CargoWise, policy system, GIS and file shares. Nothing is replaced.
