6 Core Modules

Every tool a parts manager
actually needs

No extra cost. No “parts add-on.” All six modules come with your $9,995 license.

📈
Obsolescence Aging Report
Parts 6+ months flagged with liquidation options: return to OEM, sell to wholesale, Partstrader listing. Recovery value ranked by option so you take the best exit first.
“I have $82,000 in parts that haven’t moved in 8 months. My DMS has them at cost. My real number is about 30 cents on the dollar.”
🕑
Auto-Order Triggers
LKQ/Worldpac PO created automatically when stock hits reorder point. No manual Tuesday morning check. No Monday emergency because someone needed it the day before.
“I manually check stock levels every Tuesday morning. Half the time a tech needed something Monday and I had to do an emergency order.”
📌
Special Order ETA Tracker
Every customer-waiting part with arrival date, text notification on delivery, advisor automatically notified. 15 open special orders tracked automatically — not in a notebook.
“Customer calls me — not the advisor — asking where their part is. I have 15 open special orders and I’m tracking them in a notebook.”
🚚
Emergency vs. Stock Order Split
Monthly freight cost by order type. Shows exactly how much emergency orders are costing vs. a proper stock order. Gives your manager a number to manage, not a guess.
“My parts freight was $4,200 last month. I had no idea what was emergency vs. stock. My manager wants to cut freight and I can’t show him where it’s going.”
Core Return Aging
Outstanding cores by vendor with return deadline and credit amount. Flags cores approaching the window so you don’t lose credits you already paid for.
“I have $12,000 in core credits sitting on the shelf past the return window. That’s money I already paid and won’t get back.”
💰
Wholesale Pricing Margin Tracker
Outside parts sales by customer, margin by line, profitability ranking. Know which body shops make you money and which ones just keep you busy.
“I sell parts to three body shops. I have no idea if I’m making money on any of them or just moving inventory.”
