JAPANESE AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCT DATA RESEARCH & VERIFICATION

We check and organize Japanese vehicle and parts data using Japanese sources.

When Japanese vehicle or parts information cannot be confirmed easily from overseas, D-GATE researches the relevant sources in Japan and organizes the findings for use in your existing product-data workflow.

This service can be used for ordinary data checks and corrections as well as difficult questions and larger backlogs.

Start with a Free Scope Check

For businesses that manage Japanese vehicle and parts information.

This service may be useful for:

parts and accessory companies,

importers,

e-commerce operators,

wholesalers,

automotive product-data companies,

and fitment-information companies.

Your existing:

database,

catalog,

e-commerce platform,

ACES / PIES workflow,

Excel files,

or CSV files

remain in place.

D-GATE supplements the existing workflow with source-based research and verification.

Examples of fields we can review

Model years

Model-year changes

Pre-facelift / post-facelift differences

Grades

Engines

Drivetrains

Part numbers

Old and superseded part numbers

Cross-references

Left / right positions

Front / rear positions

Required quantities

Fitment conditions

Notes

Conflicting source information

Outdated information

Missing conditions

Unverified information

Start with one clear current question or record.

Send one clear current question, record or example. When available, you can also include:

3–10 representative rows when available,

your current Excel or CSV file,

relevant source links or files,

the fields you want checked,

the target market,

approximate total volume,

the desired output,

and what your team has already checked.

You do not need to send the entire database for the first review.

We review the data against agreed Japanese sources.

Depending on the project, D-GATE may:

check vehicle conditions,

check part numbers,

review supersessions,

compare multiple sources,

identify inconsistent records,

identify missing conditions,

identify potential corrections,

record supporting evidence,

and separate information that cannot currently be confirmed.

We do not fill missing values with unsupported guesses.

Structured findings linked to your existing records.

The output can include:

the original value,

the finding from Japanese sources,

a potential correction,

supporting evidence,

notes,

and a review status.

The agreed fields can also include:

review date,

reason the item could not be resolved,

recommended next check,

and a change list.

Files can be returned in an agreed Excel or CSV format.

See what the findings look like

Illustrative Example / Demonstration
Not a customer case. Not a past client project. Customer inputs below are fictional. This excerpt comes from the existing D-GATE Product Data Review Demo.

Example: PIVOT BLP-X / Mazda Roadster. A broad fictional “ND / 2015–present / Compatible” record is reviewed by field and application, rather than treating the entire record as confirmed.

Confirmed

Japan-side support for ND5RC subset

Current customer value
Compatible; MT
Japan-side finding
ND5RC; 2015-05–2023-12; P5 (MT): supported by reviewed Japan-side source.
Correction candidate
Retain Compatible only for the source-supported ND5RC / month range / P5 MT subset.
Evidence ID
EV-DEMO-001
Next check
Customer must validate overseas mapping before publication.

Conflict Found

Japan-side support for ND5RE subset

Current customer value
Compatible; MT
Japan-side finding
ND5RE from 2024-01: expressly not supported by reviewed Japan-side source.
Correction candidate
Remove ND5RE / 2024-01+ from the Compatible range.
Evidence ID
EV-DEMO-002
Next check
Review the customer market mapping before applying the exclusion.

Missing Conditions

Application qualifiers

Current customer value
Compatible; MT
Japan-side finding
Source distinguishes ND5RC / ND5RE and month boundaries; original ND / calendar-year range lacks these qualifiers.
Correction candidate
Split the original application. Use ND5RC / 2015-05–2023-12 / P5 MT for supported Japan-side conditions.
Evidence ID
EV-DEMO-003
Unresolved reason
Original customer ND / 2015–present field lacks exact model-code and month conditions.
Next check
Obtain the target market model-code / month mapping from the customer.

Unable to Confirm

Overseas-spec record identification

Current customer value
Compatible; overseas specification not identified
Japan-side finding
No market-specific confirmation established.
Correction candidate
No overseas-spec correction asserted. Keep final market-specific applicability pending.
Evidence ID
EV-DEMO-004
Unresolved reason
Overseas vehicle model code, engine and transmission are missing; the agreed source route does not support a market-specific confirmation.
Next check
Request exact vehicle model code / engine / transmission and obtain appropriate customer market mapping.

Evidence EV-DEMO-001–004 refers to the PIVOT official BLP-X compatibility page. Demo checked date: 4 October 2026. This is Japan-side source review, not manufacturer endorsement or a final overseas fitment guarantee. A Confirmed finding applies only to its stated subset; it does not confirm the broad original record.

Actual projects return agreed Excel / CSV fields with record references, findings, correction candidates, evidence, unresolved reasons and next checks. The customer retains final overseas fitment, catalog mapping and publication decisions.

Initial scope check

A brief Free Scope Check can be used to determine:

whether the request fits the service,

what information will be required,

and what conditions are needed for a quote.

Start with one clear current question, record or example, or 3–10 representative rows when available. A full database is not required. No fixed turnaround time is promised for the free scope check.

The free scope check does not include:

a technical answer,

completed research,

a corrected full Excel file,

or any other completed technical deliverable.

From scope check to delivery

  1. Free Scope Check

    Send one current issue or a small representative sample.

  2. Scope & Quotation

    Review the written scope, deliverables, exclusions, price and target delivery before deciding.

  3. Written Approval / PO

    Confirm the agreed scope in writing or submit your purchase order to D-GATE.

  4. Invoice

    D-GATE issues the formal invoice and payment instructions.

  5. 100% Prepayment

    Pay the agreed invoice after reviewing and approving the quotation.

  6. D-GATE Confirms Work Start

    Written scope approval, full payment confirmation and required materials must all be in place.

  7. Japan-side Review

    D-GATE performs the agreed source-based review.

  8. Delivery

    Receive the agreed digital findings and disclosed limitations.

Whether you reply to a Sales Partner or contact D-GATE directly, the same formal process applies. A Sales Partner may continue ordinary sales and procurement follow-up through the purchasing decision and after invoice issuance, but only D-GATE accepts the order, issues or confirms payment instructions, confirms payment receipt and confirms work start. An independent Sales Partner cannot accept an order or customer funds on D-GATE’s behalf.

Paid Product Data services require 100% payment in advance. The actual quotation controls the delivery target and quotation validity (normally 14 days). Special payment terms or other exceptions require D-GATE’s written approval.

Formal quotations and invoices are issued by D-GATE. Pay only using instructions issued or confirmed by D-GATE, never an independent Sales Partner’s personal bank account or card link. If unsure, verify with suematsu@dgate.jp.

Additional scope requires a separate agreement / quotation. An inconclusive result alone does not automatically mean a refund. Review the Commercial Terms and Legal / Seller Information before approval.
