Car-Part.com is a company that runs a web site which indexes car parts for car yards across the US.

Software

Car-Part.com distributes software that allows ITrack users to export parts from ITrack to Car-Part.com, as well as to search the Car-Part.com database from ITrack. So there are two main parts to Car-Part:

  1. Search - car-part
  2. Upload - pkzip
Tip
The Car-Part applications are in the 'ITrack - Tech Support - 3rd Party Software' directory on File.

You will also need the company's car-part login info, which you can get one of the following ways:

  • In Kung Fu
  • Asking fellow ISoft Employee to see if they have a copy of login info
  • Emailing a car-part representative (Cristi at car-part dot com)

Search

(Car-part calls this "fkey" to confuse you.)

Place all of the car-part files in the %systemdrive%\car-part\ directory.

Run the Config.exe application:

  • In the Inventory Management System drop down menu select ISoft
  • Enter the Username, Password, and Site information that has been provided for you.
    • The site name is usually something like: trade<some_number>.car-part.com
  • The other fields are not required
  • Save the Settings

Run windows_update_fix.reg

When a user clicks the car-part button on the search screen of ITrack, it launches this app. ITrack passes in the search criteria and the car-part app launches the search in their web browser.

Tip
If the customer is using Vista/Win7, and the Car-Parts Search is having problems loading - use Firefox instead.

Uploading

The upload application needs to be in the %systemdrive%\pkzip\ directory.

  1. Run setuph.exe
  2. Run carpart.exe
  3. Enter the customers login info
    1. The site name should be isoft.car-part.com
