MAM Software details Autopart’s benefits during winter

Winter tyres are being purchased, good quality lights are being considered and health checks are being carried out to ensure that vehicles can make it through the remainder of the cold weather – but are you equipped?

There is no better time of year for businesses in the sector to take a look at their business management software to ensure they are utilising all necessary features, according to MAM Software. The business reported that Autopart has been designed to help motor factors, parts retailers and distributors alike to maximise sales, control costs and improve profitability. From increasing revenue with restructured pricing to reducing costs from effective ordering, Autopart has a host of features that can help “increase your revenue” through winter – MAM Software Sales Manager, Ben Nicholls, has these tips:

Reduce inventory costs

Slow-moving and unprofitable products can eat into your margins more than you think. Autopart can analyse sales trends across single or multi-site locations and adjust your stock levels accordingly. Leaving you with more profitable stock and less unnecessary purchases.

Increase your average order value

This is a great way to improve your profits from your existing customers. Autopart makes it easy for you to take advantage of cross-sell and upsell opportunities by linking relevant products together for your staff to recommend at the point of sale.

Protect your margins

Strict margin control is essential if you want to maintain a profit. Autopart provides you with tools to enforce margins when your staff are selling products at the counter or pricing stock for resale.

Control your pricing

The key to profitable sales is a pricing strategy that reflects your customers’ varying pricing needs. Autopart can help you define and manage complex pricing models or run special offers tailored by item, product group, customer and/or date.

Cut your communication costs

Many businesses still rely on costly inefficient paper communications. If you’re sending invoices, statements or promotional material by post, Autopart can save you money by communicating with your customers directly via email and SMS text messaging.

Improve your operational efficiency

Companies of all sizes can leverage technology to improve productivity. From smart delivery planning to automated invoice matching, Autopart contains a wealth of innovative features that can save you time and help your business run smoothly.

Ben continued: “Autopart is designed to digitise your business, going paperless and streamlining all processes at the same time. (This winter) many time-consuming jobs can be actioned with ease; it’s the best time to evaluate software and decide whether it’s protecting your margins and maximising the potential of your business.”
