GC.Platform — Big Picture

GC.Platform is a complete e-commerce ecosystem for manufacturers and distributors — built for automotive, but not limited to it. Rather than a single closed application, it is a set of independent modules that work together or separately, on an architecture that scales as your business grows: you start with what you need today and add more modules over time.

The video below shows how the system is used by a sample automotive parts distributor:

Not only automotive

The platform works in automotive — where it has the most experience and the most deployments — but its architecture proves itself wherever scale, specialisation and long-term stability matter. GC.Platform is used by:

Automotive parts distributors — B2B platforms integrated with TECDOC and an ERP, across multiple countries and languages. This is the environment GC.Platform was built for.
Parts manufacturers — product catalogues with advanced graphical search, and TECDOC data managed from one place (with export to TecAlliance).
Large infrastructure and sector platforms — a complete digital layer: website, customer portal, B2B store, and authentication with corporate identity federation.
E-commerce outside automotive — the same architecture has been deployed in FMCG and collectables-trading projects. If you have an unusual product or industry and need a platform that adapts to you, it fits.

Several modules

Each module is a standalone product; together they form a complete e-commerce platform. You deploy all of them or only the ones you need.

GC.CATALOG — product catalogue: the web application that presents your offer, with classic, filtered and graphical search; works in open and B2B mode on a single site.
GC.CART — order management: the e-commerce backend and ERP integration layer; handles carts, orders from all sales channels, status notifications and mailing.
AI.Assistant — an AI assistant that converses with the customer to reach the exact product, instead of returning a list of probable results.
GC.MDM — master data management: a central repository for descriptions, parameters, images and data sheets (with TECDOC export for data suppliers).
GC.AUTH — authentication with true Single Sign-On across the ecosystem; social login and federation to corporate identity (Entra ID, MFA, conditional access).
GC.CMS — a proprietary multilingual content management system: blog, static pages and product banners embedded in context.
GC.DASHBOARD — the back-office tool that ties the platform together.

Most of these modules have their own guide in this help section.
