To connect the world's parts, making it easy for repairers to find and buy the right parts.
Partly is a fast-growing tech company that's quietly tackling one of the biggest headaches in the car industry - finding the right auto parts. In a world where nearly everything is becoming digital and automated, the car parts world has lagged behind. Partly wants to change that, and is building the behind-the-scenes AI infrastructure that connects the global auto supply chain.
Instead of being a marketplace itself, Partly powers marketplaces like eBay and Shopify with accurate data. Think of it as the "AWS of auto parts" - it doesn't sell parts but makes it easier for others to do so. And it manages a massive database of over 50M parts, and even offers modular tools so businesses have the flexibility to build their own systems without starting from scratch.
In 2024, the company was named New Zealand's fastest-growing startup, and CEO Levi Fawcett took home top honours at the New Zealand Leadership Awards. It's no surprise either, with the company raising the country's largest-ever Series A ($36M) and having been on the up ever since. With big-name investors, a growing team, and a product solving a real global problem, Partly is very much on its way to becoming a tech giant.
