Check orders by VIN — OEM and aftermarket parts
Reduce repetitive checks for your managers. Your CMS/ERP supplies the order VIN and OEM numbers, including cross-references for aftermarket parts; the Vinalfa API helps check them against vehicle catalog data.
Language: English
Less routine work, more attention to customers
Reduce managers’ workload
The integration handles repeatable checks. Managers review items without confirmation and ambiguous results.
One workflow for different parts
An order can contain OEM and aftermarket parts. For aftermarket items, use OEM numbers from your CMS/ERP cross-references.
Offer related parts
Diagrams reveal nearby components and help propose a complete repair set. This creates opportunities for additional items and a higher basket value.
How an order check works
One order VIN, every supplied OEM candidate, and a clear result for each line.
Read the order
The CMS/ERP provides the VIN and each line’s part number and brand.
Resolve OEM and aftermarket items
For aftermarket parts, the CMS/ERP supplies OEM cross-references. The integration processes every available OEM candidate from those references, not just the first number.
Check OEM numbers against the VIN
The integration calls Vinalfa with the OEM part number, OEM brand and VIN to retrieve available catalog results and diagrams.
Return results to the manager
Group responses by order line. Separate catalog-confirmed results from items with insufficient data or those requiring manual review.
Aftermarket → OEM cross-references come from the client’s CMS/ERP. Vinalfa checks the supplied OEM numbers against catalog data; a cross-reference database is not automatically included in this integration.
A button, an event or cron
“Check order” button
The manager starts a check from the order screen and receives results for its lines.
A CMS/ERP event
Start a background job when an order is created, a VIN is added or its items change.
Scheduled cron
Check an order queue automatically on a schedule. Account for API limits, retries and changed items.
An integrator configures the button, event handlers, queue and cron in the client’s CMS/ERP. This is a server-side integration workflow, not a ready-made order-check button in the published widget modules.
of popular vehicles in the global market — Vinalfa coverage estimate
VINs in the Vinalfa information system
According to Vinalfa as of 24 October 2026. Estimated coverage is 70–80% and varies by make, model, year, specification and region. The system keeps evolving; validate your own vehicle sample before integration.
Open diagrams with a link
With the order VIN
https://vinalfa.com/original-catalogs/?vin={vin}&article={article}&brand={brand}Without a VIN — by part number and brand
https://vinalfa.com/original-catalogs/?article={article}&brand={brand}Replace placeholders and URL-encode their values. For an aftermarket part, use the corresponding OEM number and OEM brand from CMS/ERP cross-references. A link opens the catalog; it does not replace a server-side check of the entire order.
Find diagrams and build a complete order
An OEM number or the OEM cross-reference of an aftermarket part can locate available diagrams even without a VIN and reveal related items. This helps offer fasteners, seals and nearby parts for the repair. Without a VIN, a diagram alone does not confirm fitment to the customer’s vehicle; some catalogs require a VIN.
Results that support a decision
Found for the VIN
A catalog result exists for the supplied OEM number and vehicle; open the part details and diagram.
Not confirmed
No result or insufficient data. This does not automatically mean the part does not fit.
Manager review required
Ambiguous references, multiple variants, catalog restrictions or access errors need review.
Connect through the server API
Your CMS/ERP iterates OEM candidates, calls documented API methods and combines responses into order results. Keep the server Bearer token on the backend. Method access and results depend on the subscription and catalog.
