Frequently asked questions

How is PartsIQ different from Gearflow?

Gearflow operates as a procurement marketplace where buyers request quotes and vendors in Gearflow's network respond. PartsIQ is a parts procurement platform that works with your own supplier relationships — our AI voice agent calls the suppliers you already buy from, extracts quotes, and compares them side-by-side. Different models for different buyer preferences.

Does Gearflow specialize in heavy & compact equipment?

Gearflow serves fleet teams broadly — heavy & compact equipment, trucking, construction, and general fleet parts. PartsIQ specializes specifically in heavy & compact equipment parts, with native brand support, cross-brand part referencing, and workflows tuned for construction, mining, and agriculture equipment buyers.

Which is better if I already have strong supplier relationships?

PartsIQ. Our AI voice agent calls your own suppliers, which means you keep your existing vendor relationships, negotiated pricing, and credit terms. Gearflow routes RFQs through their marketplace vendor network, which can be useful for broadening sourcing but changes where your supplier relationships live.
