PDM Automotive
Add PDM Automotive to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a PDM Automotive integration so your product can work with the aftermarket product data a supplier already maintains instead of asking for another spreadsheet. PDM Automotive is product information management for the automotive aftermarket, built around the Auto Care ACES and PIES standards, so the records are parts, fitment applications, product attributes and the catalogue content that gets syndicated out to marketplaces, retailers and distributors. Every account's attribute set and validation rules differ, so field mapping is configuration per customer rather than a code change on your side. fastn handles per-customer API tokens, pagination, throttling and API upkeep, and the same governed connection serves your product features and your agents.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own PDM Automotive account so your product reads their part records, fitment applications and product attributes directly.
Write product or attribute updates back so the catalogue a supplier syndicates stays consistent with what your product knows.
Read catalogue content such as descriptions, images and application data per tenant to power listings, search or comparison features.
Handle each supplier's own attribute set and validation rules as mapping rather than a branch in your code.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent looks up a part and the vehicles it fits before answering a question about coverage.
An agent corrects or completes product attributes within governed permissions, with every write logged.
An agent reports which parts are missing the attributes a channel requires before a catalogue goes out.
Example prompt
List parts with no fitment applications and show which product lines they belong to.
Set up PDM Automotive in 4 steps
- 01Open the PDM Automotive connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer connect their own PDM Automotive account with an API token.
- 03Map the part, fitment and attribute fields your product reads and writes, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the PDM Automotive integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a PDM Automotive integration without building it. Your customers connect their own PDM Automotive account inside your product and work their records, datasets and fields there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: schemas differ per customer and change without notice, and volumes can be large. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a PDM Automotive update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed PDM Automotive connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you read and write your customers' data where it already lives without wiring it twice.

Hugging FacePDM Automotive integration FAQ
How do I add a PDM Automotive integration to my product?
Enable the PDM Automotive connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own PDM Automotive account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no PDM Automotive client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own PDM Automotive account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own PDM Automotive account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this PDM Automotive integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent looks up a part and the vehicles it fits before answering a question about coverage.
Who maintains the PDM Automotive integration?
fastn does. When PDM Automotive changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does the PDM Automotive integration adapt when a customer's schema changes?
Schema and field mapping is configuration per customer, so a change on their side is a mapping update rather than a code change and a release on yours.
How are large PDM Automotive reads handled?
Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and initial backfills are rate-limited so a large import does not exhaust a customer's API allowance.
What can I build with the PDM Automotive integration?
A common starting point: connect their own PDM Automotive account so your product reads their part records, fitment applications and product attributes directly. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the PDM Automotive integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding PDM Automotive does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
