1. PartsTrader Integration Client (PI Client)

The PartsTrader Integration Client (PI Client) is a PartsTrader application that is installed on your workstation or server to facilitate communication between your shops estimating system and the PartsTrader website. Once installed and configured by our support team, your estimating system will support exporting and importing part information with the PartsTrader website.

Exporting to PartsTrader
Whether you are working on a 4-part estimate or a 40-part estimate, exporting parts to PartsTrader can be done at the click of a button. The PI Client gets the job done efficiently and securely, allowing you to spend your time where it’s needed most.
Importing to your Estimate
After you’ve ordered parts in PartsTrader, you’ll want to update your estimate to reflect what parts you bought and who you bought them from. PartsTrader’s Export to Estimate feature allows you to easily accomplish this by sending this information back to your estimating system, saving you time and minimizing the need for manual entry.
