Guiding principles for all our decisions
Buyer-first
First and foremost, we care about the fitters, the technicians, and the professionals who order the parts everyday. Partly exists to make finding the right parts extremely easy, and all our decisions centre around this.
Designed for flexibility
We are the plumbing for the industry, we create the building blocks needed to help the industry succeed. We want customers to have maximum flexibility, never locked in to one way of doing things, able to adapt, build, and innovate on top of our core platform.
Independent
We will never favour one party over another. Because we want to help all part buyers, we’re completely independent, anti-political, and will always remain so.
Leadership

Our experienced team have had leadership roles in Rocket Lab, Amazon, Airbnb and eBay.
