- Parts Town eCommerce Apphttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/parts-town/id399259573
The Parts Town eCommerce app allows service technicians to buy parts and consult manuals for commercial kitchen equipment. The app has over 100,000 downloads and a 4.8-star rating on the App Store.
When a user views a manual, it is saved to their My Manuals section of the app, which is synchronized to all of their devices.
The app also features an interactive wire diagram feature which allows customers to view equipment schematics, tap the part in the diagram they want to buy, and add it to their cart.
Parts Town has skinned the app for some of the business's top customers and offered them a separate App Store listing. - First Choice Catering Spares Reference Apphttps://apps.apple.com/gb/app/first-choice-catering-spares/id1230207337
First Choice Catering Spares (UK) was acquired by Parts Town in 2017. Shortly after the acquisition, we built a reference app for them.
The app allows customers to browse equipment manuals by manufacturer and model, and save those manuals to their device.
The app was then handed off to their in-house development team who added additional features to the app, including saved parts lists, and an in-app chat.
