DropGear Oy Ab · Espoo, Finland
Data is the new oil and ours does not leak. DropGear Oy Ab builds AI-powered systems based on original equipment (OE) part numbers that make spare parts trading more precise: the right part for the right car and an inventory that meets actual demand.
Products
All three products rest on the same vehicle-specific data foundation: VIN-exact vehicle identification, OE catalogues and an aftermarket index.
For sales and workshops
An AI-assisted parts search and range optimisation platform. The user describes in their own words which part is needed, and the system identifies the vehicle, finds the correct part and checks price and availability from several sources. Also includes the PartsProcure365 service.
For retailers and distributors
A procurement optimisation service that resolves the vehicles in your catalogue’s search events VIN-exactly, compares the car’s real need against what your catalogue showed, and returns data ready for your purchasing system.
For vehicle dismantlers
The dismantler’s tool from donor car to parts sold: a bid range from the registration number, a dismantling list by expected margin, prices with reasoning and sales in the PartsFinder365 network next to new parts.
Digital Twin
The twin includes the VIN, equipment data, cross-references of OE numbers to aftermarket articles and real-time demand data from the actual vehicle parc. The AI runs the twin against the parts catalogue before a part is even shown to the user.
Study 2026
We compared 52,231 aftermarket articles against the reference values of the same OE number, run against a digital twin of the Finnish vehicle parc. One in five articles deviated from the reference value and one in three lacked sufficient data. When the correct part is chosen from catalogue data alone, the error is structural rather than human.
