Every brand. Every catalog. The right part, in seconds.
Buckets Parts reads your catalogs and manuals, finds the part your customer needs or the equivalent you already stock, and gives your customers a portal to buy it from you.
Connects to your Google Drive and QuickBooks in one day. No IT team needed.
Illustrative example. Brands and part numbers are placeholders.
Your best parts expert can't be at the counter 24/7.
Knowing which part from one brand replaces another is what closes the sale. Today that knowledge lives in a few people and hundreds of PDFs.
Hundreds of catalogs, no single search
Every manufacturer has its own PDFs, numbering and diagrams. Your team searches them one by one while the customer waits.
Equivalents live in one person's head
When the exact part is out of stock, only your most experienced rep knows what else fits. When they're out, the sale waits.
Customers search after hours
Technicians and shops look for parts at night and on weekends. If they can't find it with you, they buy it somewhere else.
Live in one day. Selling the same week.
Connect
Link the Google Drive where your catalogs and manuals live, and your QuickBooks. We read part lists, exploded diagrams and replacement tables for you.
Ask
Your rep or your customer types the model, the part number or simply describes what broke. Brand and spec matching happens in seconds.
Sell
The answer shows the exact part or the equivalent you stock, the manual page that backs it, and a button to buy or talk to your team.
Ask the way your technicians talk. Typos included.
"I need a transducer for a CU50" returns the exact part code, its range and what it does, with the service manual pages that back it. "i want a prezure switch" works too.
Every answer can also be played as audio, for the technician with both hands inside an engine room.
One system for your team. A portal for your customers.
Every rep answers like your most experienced one
- Search all your catalogs at once, by model, part number or description
- Cross-brand equivalents with the specs that make them match
- Your expert confirms or corrects, and the system learns it for everyone
- New hires quote correctly from day one
Your own parts portal, with your brand
- Give it to the dealers, service shops and technicians who buy from you
- They find the part that fits, 24/7, among what you stock or represent
- Every result ends in a buy link or a message to your rep
- Invite your customer list straight from QuickBooks
Three rules we never break
Only what you stock or represent
We never send your customer to another distributor. Every recommendation is a sale for you.
Every answer cites the manual
The page that backs each equivalent is one click away, so the technician decides with confidence.
Your data stays yours
Your prices, customers and inventory are private. Always.
See every sale it brings you
Because we connect to QuickBooks, every recommendation is matched to the quote and invoice that followed. Each month you see exactly what the system sold.

Questions distributors ask us
Do I need an IT person?
No. If your catalogs are in Google Drive and your books are in QuickBooks, we connect both in one day.
What if an equivalent is wrong?
Every answer shows the manual page behind it, new equivalents are reviewed by a person before your customers see them, and your team can correct any match in one click.
Will it send my customers to a competitor?
Never. It only recommends parts you stock or brands you represent.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
No. You pay a flat monthly subscription. The sales the system generates are all yours.
Is the operations system really free?
Yes. You only pay if you add Parts AI: catalog search, cross-brand equivalents and the customer portal.
