Integrations
Fuse5 integration for parts on the job
WrenchPilot connects to Fuse5 (REV Parts Management) so your shop software and your parts catalog work together. Search Fuse5 stock from the bay, add parts to the repair order, and record usage in Fuse5 — without treating WrenchPilot as a second inventory system.
Built for diesel and heavy-duty shops that already run jobs, time, and invoicing in WrenchPilot while parts masters and quantities live in Fuse5.
What the integration does
Search Fuse5 from the job
When adding parts from inventory on a repair order, connected shops see Fuse5 products alongside local stock. Techs pick the right part number and quantity from live Fuse5 data for your default location.
Lines stay on the RO
Selected Fuse5 parts become normal job part lines in WrenchPilot — tied to the action item, included in estimates and invoices, and visible in job margin like any other parts you bill.
Usage back to Fuse5
Adding a Fuse5 part to a job can trigger a quantity adjustment in Fuse5 for that product, with context such as job ID and reason so your parts team can reconcile what left inventory for that repair.
Location-aware
On connect, WrenchPilot loads Fuse5 locations from your account. You set a default warehouse or branch so searches and availability match where parts actually ship from.
How shops set it up
Connection is per shop in WrenchPilot (Admin → Settings → Fuse5). You need API credentials from your Fuse5 / REV Parts administrator — typically an API URL and API key.
- 1
Get Fuse5 API credentials
Your Fuse5 admin or account manager provides the API URL (often your company Fuse5 host) and an API key with access to product and inventory services.
- 2
Connect in WrenchPilot
Paste the URL and key into Fuse5 settings and run Connect. WrenchPilot tests the API, stores the connection for your shop, and returns the list of Fuse5 locations.
- 3
Choose a default location
Pick the warehouse or branch Fuse5 should use when techs search parts. You can update the connection later if you add locations in Fuse5.
- 4
Add parts on jobs
From Add Part → Inventory, Fuse5 items appear in search results. When a line is committed to the job, WrenchPilot records the line on the RO and can post quantity usage to Fuse5.
Division of responsibility
| Task | Fuse5 | WrenchPilot |
|---|---|---|
| Master parts data & on-hand qty | Yes — system of record | Reads via API |
| Add parts to repair orders | — | Yes |
| Time, labor, invoicing, payments | — | Yes |
| Record qty used for a job | Receives usage updates | Sends when part added |
| Shop-owned local inventory (non-Fuse5) | Optional | WrenchPilot inventory module |
Fuse5 parts in WrenchPilot are labeled as Fuse5-sourced. Creating new SKUs, editing costs, or adjusting stock levels for Fuse5 catalog items should stay in Fuse5 so every location sees one source of truth.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Fuse5 in WrenchPilot?
- Fuse5 (also known as REV Parts Management) is a parts inventory system many diesel shops already use. WrenchPilot connects to your Fuse5 account so technicians can search Fuse5 catalog stock when adding parts to a job, without re-keying part numbers.
- Does WrenchPilot replace Fuse5 for inventory?
- No. Fuse5 remains your system of record for parts inventory. WrenchPilot reads product data from Fuse5 and can send quantity usage back when parts are pulled onto a job. Adding new SKUs, costs, and location counts still happens in Fuse5.
- How do I connect Fuse5 to WrenchPilot?
- Shop admins enter the Fuse5 API URL and API key in WrenchPilot settings (Admin → Settings → Fuse5). WrenchPilot validates the connection, lists available Fuse5 locations, and lets you pick a default warehouse location for searches.
- What happens when a tech adds a Fuse5 part to a job?
- The part line is saved on the repair order in WrenchPilot with pricing from the job workflow. WrenchPilot can call Fuse5 to record quantity used against that product so on-hand counts in Fuse5 stay aligned with what left the shelf for that job.
