Automotive Dealerships
The parts store is an inventory business inside the dealership, and slow-moving stock, dead stock, stock-outs of fast-movers and pilferage all trap cash and lose service jobs. For a commercial-vehicle or EV dealer a stocked-out fast-mover is a truck waiting; for a spare-parts counter inventory is the business; for an independent workshop a missing part is a job lost to the garage next door. Parts planning runs on memory and a stale spreadsheet; the store over-stocks slow items, runs short on fast ones, and cannot see the working capital trapped in either until it hurts. Vehicle stock against the OEM allocation and the floor-plan interest is the same problem one level up.
Who has it
Across all segments; the signature case is spare-parts and accessories counters (the trading spine) and commercial-vehicle and EV dealers (parts availability for uptime); strong for independent workshops, and lighter for car, passenger-vehicle, two-wheeler and tractor dealers (model-mix and vehicle stock).
What we build
Clean reorder discipline off the dealer's own system: fast-mover availability, dead-stock visibility, sane reorder logic against lead time and demand, a stock-count rhythm that actually happens, and the dead stock surfaced for return to the OEM or liquidation before it ages out. For a spare-parts and accessories counter, the same plus channel-availability and reorder-risk across counter and marketplace. A read-only layer over the order book, parts movement and sales history showing demand patterns, forecast-versus-actual gaps, slow-moving stock, stock-out risk on fast-movers and the working capital tied in each.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is non-AI: reorder logic against lead time and demand, dead-stock and fast-mover visibility, a stock-count rhythm, and a read-only layer over the order book, parts movement and sales history, all computed deterministically.
Where AI helps
AI helps read the demand pattern and propose where stock-out risk and dead stock are forming; the reorder quantity, the liquidation call and the working-capital decision stay with a person.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Cash comes off the dead shelf; fast-movers stay available so service jobs do not walk; the count finally happens. Planning starts from a shared, current picture; stock-out risk and dead stock become visible early; working capital in parts comes down; the decision stays human. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
