ALLENTOWN, Pa. MAM Software has announced a new, enhanced version of its Autopart business management application for auto parts warehouses and jobbers. The result of months of development and liaison with users, Autopart R016 offers a wealth of functionality that helps users reduce costs and improve productivity, according to MAM.
Autopart R016 provides many new or updated features designed to simplify stock management procedures, the company says. Minimum/maximum recalculations have been extended to ensure that stock is kept at optimum levels and enhanced controls have been imposed for non-stocked items. Internal stock movements are streamlined with updated inter-branch transfers (IBTs) and automated branch stock leveling routines.
Purchasing processes also are improved, MAM says, thanks to R016’s new weight-based supplier quantity breaks and new ‘cherry picker’ multi-selection functionality. Users of R016 also can speed up goods receiving by using Autopart’s new WMS scanning feature. Goods are scanned during the booking-in process and users are given the option to review and amend data before it is committed to the system.
Release R016 further enhances Autopart’s flexible point-of-sale. CRM functionality has been extended with the ability to display customer-specific promotions, credit limits, outstanding balances and rankings at point-of-sale. Quotes and suspended transactions can now be easily recovered from the customer detail tab or scanned from a printed document. Lost sale recording also has been enhanced with the addition of supplier and product range fields.
"This latest release demonstrates MAM’s ongoing commitment to supplying class-leading software to auto parts warehouses and jobbers," said Brian Allibon, president of MAM Software Inc. "Autopart is being used by an ever-increasing number of companies to enhance productivity, reduce costs and improve profitability. This new functionality illustrates our ability to provide solutions that add value to those companies looking to transform their businesses."
