Migrate from MAM Autopart
Move from MAM Autopart to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off MAM Autopart should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your parts & inventory system data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while MAM Autopart keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
MAM Autopart is a specialist automotive parts distribution and factoring system widely used across the UK and Ireland, and it is genuinely strong at what a motor factor lives on: fast parts lookup by vehicle, supersession and interchange handling, a slick trade-counter workflow, stock control, trade accounts and supplier electronic ordering. Teams typically outgrow it not because the parts side is weak but because it is a focused distribution tool that usually sits alongside separate accounting and e-commerce — and, now part of a larger commercial-systems group, it can feel more point-solution than platform. The move to PeakSpitz is generally about running parts, stock, trade accounts, a real storefront and accounting with VAT as one joined-up system.
The safe way to leave MAM Autopart
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of MAM Autopart that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull your parts catalogue, stock, customers and orders out of MAM Autopart in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your parts & inventory system data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line MAM Autopart up against PeakSpitz: your parts catalogue, stock, customers and orders become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside MAM Autopart is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what MAM Autopart shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep MAM Autopart live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your MAM Autopart export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving MAM Autopart
- ⚠
Vehicle-application and catalogue data is typically licensed from third-party providers (commonly TecDoc-based in the UK/EU) and is usually not yours to export. Plan to re-subscribe and re-link the catalogue on the new system rather than migrate it; your own parts, prices and stock are what move.
- ⚠
Supersession chains and interchange links need careful handling. Bring them across as product data and check that each superseded part still resolves to its current replacement, so counter staff are never sold a dead line mid-chain.
- ⚠
Core charges and unit-exchange surcharges have to be re-expressed rather than imported. The deposit line, its VAT treatment and the core-return credit are set up deliberately on PeakSpitz — a mapping decision, not a copy.
- ⚠
Supplier EDI and electronic-ordering links are not carried over. Re-establish factor and supplier ordering on PeakSpitz via purchasing plus the open REST API and webhooks so parts still flow in from your suppliers.
Common questions about leaving MAM Autopart
Does our vehicle lookup and catalogue data migrate?
The parts you stock — with their supersession and interchange links, prices and stock — migrate. The vehicle-application catalogue itself is typically licensed third-party data, so it is re-subscribed and re-linked on PeakSpitz rather than exported. Your commercial data is yours; the catalogue feed is a subscription you re-point.
How are supersessions and interchange kept working?
They come across as product records and links, and the chain logic is re-expressed on PeakSpitz. The open REST API and webhooks let you keep supersessions current from your catalogue feed, so a discontinued part keeps resolving to its live replacement.
What about core charges and unit-exchange?
Core deposits and surcharges are re-expressed as deposit lines on PeakSpitz, with the VAT and the return-credit set up deliberately. It is a mapping decision rather than an import — the moment to confirm the core liability is accounted the way you want.
