Autorox and Boodmo Form Partnership to Connect India's Auto Parts and Repair Markets

Automotive workshop software company Autorox and spare parts marketplace Boodmo have announced a partnership aimed at integrating parts discovery directly into vehicle repair workflows across India. The collaboration, announced on March 10, 2026, connects garages, parts catalogs, sellers, and online marketplaces in real time through a shared digital infrastructure — a combination that has not previously existed at scale in the Indian aftermarket.

Under the arrangement, Boodmo's parts catalog will be embedded natively within Autorox's repair order system through Autorox's Autozilla platform. When a technician logs a vehicle for repair, the system surfaces relevant parts, confirms fitment against vehicle specifications, and displays live stock availability from sellers — all without requiring the technician to leave the repair workflow. The companies describe this as a "Discovery First" model, positioning parts identification as an embedded, structured step in the repair process rather than a separate manual task that sits outside the primary system.

The practical effect is that the repair order itself is transformed. What has traditionally been a static document — recording the job, the labour, and the eventual parts used — becomes a live hub that connects diagnosis, parts sourcing, and procurement in a single, continuous flow. Workshops can identify the right component, verify that it fits the specific vehicle, and confirm that it is in stock, all within the same interface they use to manage the rest of the job.

The partnership addresses a longstanding inefficiency in how parts are sourced at independent garages. Despite broader digitisation of repair shop operations — including job cards, diagnostics, and billing — the process of identifying and sourcing the right part has typically required technicians to consult external catalogs, make phone calls to distributors, or physically check with local parts dealers. This interrupts the repair workflow and introduces risk: wrong fitment, inaccurate availability, and delays that extend vehicle turnaround time. The problem has persisted even as other parts of the repair process have been automated, largely because the catalog, the marketplace, and the workshop software have historically operated as separate, unconnected systems.

India's automotive aftermarket is one of the largest in the world, serving a vehicle population that has grown substantially over the past decade. The market is also highly fragmented, with millions of independent workshops operating alongside a smaller number of authorised service centres. Independent garages, which handle the bulk of out-of-warranty repairs, have historically had limited access to the structured data and real-time inventory visibility that franchised dealerships take for granted. This disparity has been a persistent constraint on service quality and efficiency at the independent tier.

Vijay Gummadi, Founder and CEO of Autorox, said the company had long held that the future of auto repair lay not in layering more software onto existing systems, but in building better connections between them. He drew a parallel to India's adoption of mobile internet and digital payments, noting that the country bypassed earlier-stage infrastructure — landlines, legacy banking — and moved directly to more advanced systems. He suggested the aftermarket was at a comparable moment, where the conditions existed to skip incremental digitisation and move directly to an integrated, real-time ecosystem. The partnership with Boodmo, he said, was how Autorox intended to make that transition.

For Boodmo, the integration addresses a data reliability challenge that affects parts marketplaces broadly. Availability information displayed to buyers is often drawn from inventory snapshots that may not reflect actual stock levels at the time of purchase. Under the new arrangement, availability signals flow directly from sellers in real time through the Autozilla platform into the discovery layer, replacing periodic updates with live data. Oleksandr Danylenko, Founder of Boodmo, said the reliability of that underlying data was fundamental to trust between all parties in the ecosystem — workshops, sellers, and end customers.

Autorox operates across more than 40 countries and manages a network of over 2,000 workshops in India, which the company describes as the country's largest digitally enabled independent garage network. Its platform processes millions of repair orders and is designed to bring dealership-level operational capabilities to independent workshops. Boodmo operates as a parts marketplace connecting workshops and vehicle owners with a nationwide network of verified parts sellers, combining a parts catalog with marketplace demand and seller connectivity.

The two companies said the current integration represents the first phase of a broader, multi-stage partnership. Subsequent phases are planned to extend the collaboration into order fulfillment and wider data-sharing across the ecosystem. The long-term objective, as stated by both companies, is to move India's aftermarket away from the isolated, manual systems that currently characterise much of the sector, and toward a shared digital infrastructure that allows workshops, parts suppliers, and marketplaces to operate as components of a single, interoperable network.
