What sits behind the Gates license
If you sell Gates parts, the license raises the quality of their data inside Suplifai. It works per SKU: every enriched Gates part carries its license. The data is ready so the search can find the part and you can quote it.
Your active plan keeps the license in force. The layer, mind you, is Suplifai's property.

What gets added depends on each part: photo, description by application, year, equivalents (cross-references), measurements, materials and more, when they exist.
On the platform, as of November 12, 2026, Gates parts with quoting data are spread across engine, cooling, accessories, and suspension.
Why it matters when searching for Gates parts
A Gates part often reaches the counter with its manufacturer number, and the customer wants to know if you have that one or an equivalent. The cross between the OEM number and what you sell matters here.
With cross-references and application tied to the SKU, comparing a Gates part with other options stops being a search by eye.
Engine family: what changes in the search
In engine parts, two nearly identical pieces differ by engine version, displacement and year. A description by application and the year in the SKU help avoid quoting the part for another version.
Cooling: how a Gates part is searched
In cooling, a part that fits one engine does not fit another. Application and measurements in the SKU separate those cases.
Accessories for Gates: data that helps find the part
In accessories there is a lot of variety for the same vehicle. Measurements, materials and a photo in the SKU make choosing easier without extra questions.
From search to quote
The quote starts with the search. If the Gates SKU carries application, year and cross-references, Victoria, Suplifai's AI quoter, finds the part and answers with the price and stock from your system.
The layer lives on the Suplifai platform, where we maintain it, add information to it and improve how it is searched. Your ERP stays in your hands.
