Parts Inventory Management
A technician walks up and lets you know what he needs. It’s the third one this week. You know the part number, but look it up just to be sure. You have one left and walk back to grab it, but it’s not there. What else can you do to keep an accurate parts inventory?
What if you could...
- Drastically reduce the time and cost to perform your annual physical inventory audit by using digital scanners that automatically update your parts information?
- Scan in special order parts and automatically print a label that clearly identifies the customer and RO details?
- Reduce both your parts obsolescence and on-hand quantity errors with real-time tracking and reporting?
- Identify your most and least profitable accounts by gross profit percentage?
- Easily pinpoint exactly how long you’ve had a part in your inventory?
Here’s How
Parts Barcoding
Manually checking in parts, updating locations and quantities, and notifying techs and customers of parts arrival, can slow your parts and service departments to a crawl, causing lost revenue, frustrated employees, and unhappy customers. Parts Barcoding combines the power of wireless scanning and intuitive software to streamline the entire inventory management process.
- Immediately upon scanning, you can view real-time postings for receipted parts, bin changes, and updated quantities directly in your Reynolds DMS.
- Automatically print labels for special order parts with the correct information right when they are scanned.
- Execute annual and perpetual inventories quickly and accurately.
- Replace manual data entry with a simple scanner that automatically updates your system, saving time and boosting employee efficiency.
Service Price Guides
How often are your fluid levels low? What about hardware and gaskets? When you quote a customer five quarts of oil, but the vehicle takes seven, is the quantity updated in inventory? What about when a lug nut can’t be reused, do you just grab another? This is how shrinkage happens, one RO at a time.
- Ensure all gas, oil, and grease and additional parts are quoted the first time.
- Include shop supplies in every job.
- Automatically add all items needed to the parts ticket so nothing is missed.
- Give your countermen more time with automatic notifications when a job is added to an RO.
What can you experience:
“The receipting process before Parts Barcoding used to take four to six hours. Now, it only takes an hour. We’re 100% more efficient.”
“Because Service Price Guides keeps pricing consistent and helps minimize discounts, it has a big impact on gross profit. Since installation, we’re up 19.4% in gross profit per RO.”
