RevolutionParts is an eCommerce software platform founded in 2013 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, that enables automotive dealerships and OEM parts sellers to sell parts and accessories online through their own branded webstores, as well as third-party marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. The platform includes tools for inventory management, order management, shipping optimization, wholesale operations, and marketing, and integrates with dealer systems such as Dealertrack DMS. RevolutionParts has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies for nine consecutive years and was named eBay's top partner for new OEM parts sales in 2026.
What you do with it
launch and manage a multi-channel eCommerce storefront for OEM parts and accessories, so they can turn the parts department into a scalable, incremental profit center
When a parts department is sitting on stagnant inventory and missing online revenue opportunities
consolidate marketplace listings, inventory, pricing, and shipping into one platform, so they can reduce operational complexity while expanding online sales reach
When a dealer wants to compete on Amazon, eBay, and their own web store without managing separate systems
enable on-demand local delivery of parts to nearby customers, so they can capture same-day local parts sales that would otherwise go to competitors
When a dealer needs to fulfill local parts orders quickly to compete with aftermarket retailers
Community evidence → Stable
Community voices — including dealers, vendor peers, and industry practitioners — consistently name RevolutionParts alongside Simple Part as one of the two go-to specialized platforms for dealer parts eCommerce, suggesting it has earned genuine category recognition rather than just marketing visibility. Dealers highlight its customizability, existing OEM catalog data, fair pricing, and willingness to accommodate CSS/JS modifications as practical strengths. Its adoption by large dealer groups like AutoNation lends credibility for operators evaluating enterprise fit. No strong negative sentiment surfaces in the provided quotes, though the community framing is largely recommendational rather than deeply evaluative, so the absence of criticism should not be read as universal satisfaction.
