Factor Sales is a data intelligence platform for the UK automotive aftermarket. We collect real transaction data from motor factors, anonymise and aggregate it, then turn it into actionable market intelligence, covering pricing, demand signals, category trends, and competitive benchmarking across 800K+ parts.

Yes, Factor Sales is completely free for motor factors. In exchange for sharing anonymised point-of-sale data, you get full access to performance dashboards with category trends, pricing benchmarks, and market averages. Premium tiers are available for part-level insights and advanced analytics.

Motor factors receive access to a performance dashboard covering sales tracking, margin analysis, and market share data in real time. You can benchmark your branches against the wider UK market, spot fast-moving and declining categories, and make data-driven pricing decisions instead of relying on gut feel.

Suppliers and manufacturers can subscribe to access detailed market views, including real sell-out pricing from factor to garage, competitor benchmarking, and demand signals by category. This gives you visibility into how your products are actually performing at the point of sale across the UK independent aftermarket.

We collect real transaction data (actual sales volumes and pricing) directly from motor factor POS systems. This is not estimated or survey-based data. Every data point comes from a real transaction, giving you an accurate picture of what’s selling, at what price, and where demand is shifting across the UK aftermarket.

Your data is fully anonymised and aggregated before it appears on the platform. No individual business can be identified. We use secure, encrypted transfer via trusted POS systems, and all data is processed in compliance with UK data protection standards. Your competitors will never see your specific figures.

We integrate with major POS systems including MAM Software. Data flows securely and automatically with no manual uploads required from your team. Setup typically takes just a few days, and once connected, your data feeds into the platform continuously without any ongoing effort from your side.

Most motor factors are up and running within a few days. We handle the POS integration for you. There’s no complex setup or IT project required. Once connected, data flows automatically and you’ll start seeing insights in your dashboard straight away.

Factor Sales covers 800,000+ parts across the full range of automotive aftermarket categories. This includes braking, filtration, clutch, steering and suspension, engine management, electrical, and more. Our coverage spans the breadth of the independent aftermarket, giving you a complete view of the categories that matter to your business.

Factor Sales covers 60%+ of UK motor factors, providing a representative view of the national independent aftermarket. Our data spans all regions of the UK, enabling meaningful benchmarking whether you operate a single branch or a national network.

Data is updated continuously as transactions flow in from connected POS systems. Your dashboards reflect real-time market activity, so you’re always working with the latest pricing, volume, and trend data, not last month’s report.

Yes, branch benchmarking is a core feature. You can compare each of your branches against UK market averages for sales volume, pricing, and category mix. This helps you identify underperforming locations, spot opportunities, and share best practices across your network.

Yes, premium tiers include data download and export capabilities. You can pull reports for internal analysis, board presentations, or pricing reviews. The platform is designed to complement your existing workflow, not replace it.

Factor Sales uses real transaction data, not surveys or estimates. Every data point comes from an actual sale at the point of sale. This means the pricing intelligence, demand signals, and market trends you see are grounded in what’s actually happening in the UK independent aftermarket, not what people say is happening.
