About this industry
Automotive businesses deal in parts identified by exact part numbers where a near match is useless, and vehicles identified by VIN with a service history that follows them for years. Workshops consume parts against job cards, and warranty claims against manufacturers require documentation to settle.
Common operational problems
- Part numbers must match exactly; near-equivalents cause returns and failures
- Vehicle service history is not retained against the VIN
- Job cards consume parts and labour that are not costed together
- Warranty claims to manufacturers need documentation to settle
- Fast-moving and slow-moving parts are stocked by feel
Example workflows
Part-number level catalogue with vehicle compatibility
Job cards with parts issued and labour charged
VIN-linked service history
Warranty claim documentation and settlement tracking
Movement-based stocking decisions by part
