A dealer management system should do more than manage the basic purchase and sales transactions of parts, optionals and accessories in the Parts Department.

Real-time parts inventory

As soon as you post a parts transaction, your inventory should be updated automatically. This extends to multiple warehouses, stores and franchises so that you can easily see inventory levels at all locations.

Parts purchase management

A dealer management system can help the Parts Manager define the general parts purchasing strategy, and provide information to help automate and improve parts ordering.

DMS software can also help the Parts Manager reduce emergency orders, improve fill-rate (especially with the Service Department), maximize parts turnover, improve the bottom line, and increase customer satisfaction.

Autologica also allows the Parts Manager to choose the costing method that best meets their needs, whether historical cost, inventory difference, or FIFO.

If the dealership imports parts, optionals and accessories from other countries, Autologica can determine the precise cost by taking into account all related expenses (freight, insurance, taxes, etc.)
