Powersports Inventory Management Software

It's easy to become overwhelmed when running a parts department in the powersports industry if you don't have the right tools for inventory control.  This industry is unique in that there are literally millions of part numbers you could potentially sell to the next customer who walks in the door.  How do you know what items to stock?  Your customers will not come back if you are always out of stock on common or popular items like oil filters, gloves, and helmets.  On the other hand, because there are millions of parts you could potentially stock, you need to order only the parts that are profitable and move quickly in YOUR trade area. 

Commander inventory management software identifies your fastest moving and most profitable parts and then makes it easy to order them.  Our suggested stock order feature allows you to set up minimum stocking levels by part number so that you never run out, or you can use the 1-1 buyback feature to order back only what you sell.  We've even incorporated seasonal ordering methods so that you can order based on quantity sold in a date range of your choice.  For example, "I want to order 125% of the quantity of sold items for Parts Unlimited last summer."

You also need access to pricing information on OEM and aftermarket parts.  Many dealers start with a generic accounting system like QuickBooks that has inventory capabilities but was not designed with powersports dealers in mind.  They find out later that these generic inventory systems are not intended to handle millions of part numbers and pricing corrections that parts in the powersports industry go through during the year.  Parts Unlimited alone has over 132,000 part numbers and updates their pricing 5 or 6 times per year.  With MIC Systems' Commander inventory control software behind you, you'll have the parts price updates you need to operate your business profitably.  It's up to you to make sure you are selling your parts at the right prices or you will lose money. 

Commander small business inventory software provides this and a lot more.  It's like adding a couple of employees to your Parts Department that all agree to work for the cost of a cup of Starbucks per day.  Check out some of the other Parts Inventory features we have in our Commander software:
