Automotive Parts Management

Automotive dealerships rely on efficient parts management to drive revenue in service. By automating parts storage, dealerships free up space for revenue-generating service bays and larger showrooms—while ensuring technicians can quickly find and access the parts they need.

In a dealership, time is money—especially in the service department. Technicians can’t afford to waste minutes searching for parts or navigating disorganized stockrooms.

Kardex automated storage systems bring speed, structure, and visibility to dealership parts departments. They condense storage footprints, increase on-hand inventory, and allow service operations to run more efficiently—resulting in faster repairs, higher throughput, and increased customer satisfaction.

Customer Success Stories

Automated Parts Solutions Built for the Modern Dealership

Today’s dealerships must move quickly to meet customer expectations. From regular maintenance to urgent repairs, fast access to the right part keeps technicians in the bay and cars on the road. Kardex automated systems deliver parts directly to the operator, eliminating time-consuming searches and reducing wait times for both technicians and customers.

Create Space Where It Matters

Storage space doesn’t drive revenue—service bays and showrooms do. By condensing parts storage into vertical automated units, dealerships can:

  • Free up floor space for additional service bays
  • Expand showroom areas for more vehicle displays
  • Reduce the footprint of the parts department
  • Store a larger variety of parts in the same or less space

Keep Technicians Focused

Every moment a technician spends looking for a part is time not spent fixing vehicles. Kardex systems streamline the workflow by delivering parts directly to a central access point, allowing technicians to stay productive and reducing overall service time.

Real-Time Control with Dealership Software

With Kardex’s automotive interface, dealerships can connect their automated storage directly to their existing inventory software (like CDK Global). This allows:

  • Real-time visibility into inventory levels
  • Faster stock updates and part availability tracking
  • Fewer errors in part picking and order fulfillment
  • Easy integration without disrupting existing workflows
