Sidecar draft illustration with example parts and services

Keep buying parts the way you always have.

Keep using the supplier sites you prefer. Sidecar works alongside you in the browser, ready to bring parts into your estimate with a scan.No need to change where you shop or how you find what you need.

Scan parts. Choose a service. Send to your estimate.

Sidecar works in a side panel, right next to your supplier’s site.

How Sidecar works

Start with a scan.

Scan a cart or product page, snap a photo of an invoice or purchase order, or upload an image or PDF. Sidecar picks up parts, tires and fees, along with quantities, prices and useful details. Your lines are ready to review and edit.

You decide where each line goes.

Choose the estimate and service for each line. Review the destination before making any changes to Shopmonkey.

Nothing is sent until you’ve checked it.

Review the lines and destination, then deliberately send. Check the result before continuing. If a send needs attention, Sidecar tells you what was confirmed.
