PYES

01 / THE SETUP

Mauritius drives more cars every year, and buying a part for one is still guesswork.

1. Situation

   Car owners and workshops in Mauritius need parts for a fast-growing, largely Japanese fleet.

2. Complication

   Parts are matched by description over the phone or a messenger, and a wrong match means a return and a car off the road.

3. Question

   How does a buyer get the part that fits their exact car the first time?

4. Answer

   A store that identifies the car by its VIN or frame number and shows only the parts that fit it.

02 / THE PROBLEM

Identification, catalogue and supply each break the purchase.

1. 01

   Many cars have no standard VIN.

   Used cars imported from Japan carry a frame number instead of a 17-character VIN, so generic lookups fail.

2. 02

   Descriptions are not specifications.

   The same model can use different parts depending on its build, which a verbal description does not capture.

3. 03

   Supply is fragmented.

   Demand across the island is spread over many small orders instead of one account with wholesale terms.

03 / HOW IT WORKS

Identify the car, pick the part, get it delivered.

1. 01

   Identify

   The buyer scans or types the VIN or frame number, or picks make, model and year.

2. 02

   Choose

   The catalogue shows only the parts that fit that car, with the part on its diagram.

3. 03

   Order

   The buyer sends the order and a manager confirms the part, price and delivery.

05 / WHERE IT STANDS

The store is live at pyes.store and takes orders through a manager.

• Genuine Suzuki parts with lookup by VIN or frame number, including a scanner in the browser.
• Orders go to a manager who confirms fit and delivery; online payment is not switched on yet.
• Browsing by make, model and year is being added for buyers without a VIN at hand.

06 / THE MODEL

Revenue is the margin between wholesale and retail on parts that fit the first time.

• Parts are bought at reseller terms and sold at retail price.
• Demand across the island is pooled into one wholesale account with each supplier.

07 / TECHNOLOGY AND TRUST

Fit is decided by data about the car, not by a description of it.

• VIN and frame-number lookup Identifies the exact car
• Parts catalogue Matches parts to the car's build
• Make, model and year browse Lookup without a VIN Planned

09 / WHAT COULD GO WRONG

The risks are wrong parts and missing supply, and the product is built against both.

• A wrong part leads to returns and lost trust.

  The VIN is validated by its check digit, parts are filtered by build, and the buyer confirms the part on its diagram.

• Suppliers do not grant wholesale terms.

  Suppliers receive a brief, free mapping of their price list and a test order before committing.

• The store promises more than it delivers.

  Only working features are shown, and orders are confirmed by a person before payment.
