Maker, model and IMPA code, matched

Spares requisitions arrive as maker's part numbers, model references, drawing positions and free text. Tidal reads each line, matches it to the correct catalogue item and IMPA code, and flags anything ambiguous for a buyer to confirm, instead of guessing. Deck, engine and safety spares are all handled against the same catalogue.

Genuine, OEM and equivalent, priced side by side

Not every vessel needs the genuine part. Tidal costs each line from your latest supplier prices, shows genuine, OEM and equivalent options where you carry them, and marks each up against your margin floor, so the buyer picks with the numbers in front of them and nothing ships below margin.

How does Tidal match maker and model numbers?

Tidal reads each requisition line, including maker part numbers, model references and free-text descriptions, and matches it to the correct catalogue item and IMPA code. Lines it cannot match with confidence are flagged for a buyer to confirm rather than guessed.

Can it handle genuine versus OEM or equivalent spares?
