As the automotive manufacturing chain becomes more complex and interconnected at every tier, inventory management is crucial at every step, from material procurement, and component manufacturing to finished product manufacturing.
Maintaining the right balance of inventory levels at any given time helps companies save money, generate sustainable cash flow, and contribute to a smooth supply chain from suppliers to manufacturers and wholesalers. Automotive inventory software provides businesses with advanced reporting, inventory tracking, and barcode tracking based on SKUs or serial numbers of components or products, which can help businesses track and organize inventory at the right level at the right time, and in the right place.
Since they are the characteristics of the industry, automobile products are expensive, large in size, and expensive to store. Therefore, effective inventory management is considered very important for any automobile business.
Using automobile inventory software is a lifesaver to improve the efficiency of warehouse management operations. By providing a lot of valuable information from essential reports, along with many features for monitoring warehouse management and operations, automobile inventory management software helps maintain the right balance between inventory levels. This right inventory level helps businesses avoid dead or out-of-stock inventory, saving opportunity costs when storing too many expensive products, and contributing to smooth cash flow for the business.
On the other hand, maintaining the right inventory level is not only important for the business itself but also for the entire automobile industry chain. Automobile inventory software is used to ensure the continuity of inventory, which is called availability. “On time” and “On availability” would be two words for the automotive industry chain where hundreds to thousands of small parts will make up an entire car, truck, etc. A delay at a certain layer will cause delays to the rest of the chain. So using automotive inventory software is not to eliminate delays but to minimize disruptions at every level, every stage of the chain, especially for level 2 where components are distributed to many places.Yes, you can. In a Sales Order, you can always add items that are currently out of stock with suitable suppliers to dropship to your customers. Also, for items that are available for shipping, just simply uncheck the dropship feature. The order will be phased in and updated in real time for you as suppliers ship to your customers.
In EMERGE, you can manage different warehouses easily. When an order is shipped, you need to perform the receiving. For orders with multiple shipping locations, simply add the locations of these warehouses with matching quantities and items in the receiving section.
