Inventory and margin control for auto parts SMEs

Challenges we understand
The problems that come up again and again when we sit down with businesses in auto parts.
Inventory records don't match reality due to weak receiving and stock counts
COGS is inaccurate, making profitability reports unreliable
Discounting and pricing are unmanaged, pressuring margins
Dead stock and slow movers tie up cash with no clear visibility
VAT compliance risk from mixed transaction types and documentation gaps
Multi-channel sales (retail/wholesale/online) aren't separated in reporting
