Let's Connect Your Inventory to hank

Let's Connect Your Inventory to hank

by Robert

hank is not a traditional marketplace. We're building a platform - a set of tools that connects the people who need car parts with the people who have them, as directly as possible. And the next step in that direction is direct integrations with your existing systems.

We're looking for partners to build this with.

What We Have in Mind

If you run a breaker's yard, a dismantler, a parts shop, or any business that sells used or aftermarket car parts - we want to talk about connecting your systems to hank. The idea is simple and goes both ways:

We query your inventory

Instead of you manually listing parts on yet another platform, hank connects directly to your inventory management system. When a buyer posts a request for a part you have in stock, we already know you have it. No manual work on your end. No duplicate data entry. No scraping, no guesswork - a proper, clean integration.

You get notified about matching requests

Imagine getting a notification in your own sales tool: "Someone just posted a request for a left headlight for a 2018 Golf - you have three in stock." Or: "We noticed you have parts for a 2015 Peugeot 308. Someone is looking for a door mirror for that exact model."

Not generic spam. Targeted, actionable notifications based on what you actually have on your shelves - delivered where you already work.

Why This Matters

The car parts aftermarket is fragmented. Buyers search five different platforms. Sellers list on five different platforms. Everyone duplicates effort, and parts still go unsold while buyers go without.

We think the answer isn't another marketplace that asks you to photograph every part and maintain yet another set of listings. The answer is infrastructure that plugs into what you already have and makes it visible to the people who need it.

hank already has:

  • Buyers across Europe actively posting part requests with specific vehicle and part details
  • Automatic translations so a German buyer's request reaches a Spanish dismantler in Spanish
  • A structured request format that includes make, model, year, and part description - making automated matching possible

What we're missing is a direct line into your inventory. That's what we want to build together.

What We're Looking For

We want to hear from you if:

  • You run a dismantler, breaker's yard, scrapyard, or parts shop and have some form of digital inventory (even a spreadsheet counts)
  • You use stock management software (any kind - from a dedicated parts system to a spreadsheet) and would be interested in connecting it to hank
  • You're a software provider that builds tools for the automotive aftermarket and want to explore an integration
  • You're simply curious about what this could look like for your business

We're not asking you to commit to anything. This is the exploration phase. We want to understand your systems, your workflows, and what would actually be useful - not build something in a vacuum.

What's in It for You

Let's be direct:

  • Zero listing effort - your inventory becomes visible to buyers without you lifting a finger
  • Qualified leads - not random traffic, but specific requests from people who need a specific part for a specific car
  • No upfront costs - we're not asking you to pay for a pilot
  • Notifications in your workflow - we come to you, you don't have to come to us
  • Early access - partners who help shape the integration get first access and input on how it works

This Is Early

We're being transparent: this is not a finished product you can sign up for today. We're in the phase where we're talking to potential partners, understanding requirements, and figuring out the right way to build this.

If you've ever been frustrated by platforms that build features without asking the people who'll actually use them - this is your chance to be part of the process from the start.

Get in Touch

If any of this sounds interesting, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us an email at partner@hank.parts with a brief description of your business and what systems you use. No formal proposal needed - just start a conversation.
