Connect your Southern Coastal Parts account to Aiventic so the Parts page and Iven can show your account price and stock for a part. Aiventic reads prices and stock. It does not place orders.
What you can do with it
Search a part number on the Parts page (Part Price Comparison) and compare Southern Coastal Parts with your other suppliers.
See its prices on part cards in Iven's chat answers.
See its prices and availability on suggested parts in an AI service plan, and in job pricing and quotes under your Quote pricing settings.
Add parts to the cart and export an .xlsx file to upload on Southern Coastal Parts' import page.
What syncs
Your price: your account price. If the supplier shows text such as "CALL" instead of a price, Aiventic shows no Southern Coastal Parts result for that part.
Retail (MSRP): the suggested retail price, when the supplier shows one.
Main stock quantity, shown as a shipping line such as N available in a location.
Your own branch, shown as N at your branch in a location, when the supplier lists one for your account.
Aiventic doesn't show a replacement note for superseded parts from Southern Coastal Parts. Aiventic only reads from your account.
Before you start
Who can do this: Owners only, with an active subscription.
You need the username and password for your Southern Coastal Parts online account. Ask your Southern Coastal Parts account representative if you don't have web access yet.
Connect Southern Coastal Parts to Aiventic
Go to Settings > Integrations.
Under Available integrations, find Southern Coastal Parts and select View integration.
Enter your username and password.
Optional: select Run test to check the login without saving.
Select Connect.
When you see Integration successful, select View integrations.
After you connect
The card shows Connected. Prices appear the next time you search on the Parts page.
Use the switch on the card to pause it without disconnecting.
In Settings > Quote pricing > Parts, set your Primary parts source and Pricing mode. That screen lists Southern Coastal Parts as using your markup rules, so Retail mode doesn't quote from its retail price.
To change your login, select View integration > Update Details.
Cart export
The cart does not check out. Select Export next to Southern Coastal Parts to download an .xlsx file named Parts_MMddyyyy.xlsx. It has no header row: part number in column A and quantity in column B. Use it for Southern Coastal Parts' import page when you order.
Troubleshooting
Integration failed: select Go back, check your username and password, and try again. If it keeps failing, contact Aiventic support.
No result for a part: Southern Coastal Parts may not carry it, or may not quote it for your account.
No Add to cart button: it only appears when main stock can ship the part.
