Automotive Inventory Management & Location Tracking
Managing automotive spare-parts stock requires precise cataloging by vehicle model, structured location mapping (Rack/Level/Bin), and seamless transfers between shop counters and warehouses.
Vehicle Compatibility & Fitment Groups
Automotive parts are rarely universal. A single brake pad or spark plug may fit specific motorcycle models across different manufacturing years. Prince Picker organizes inventory with:
- Vehicle Compatibility Mapping: Tag parts directly with supported vehicle models (e.g. Honda Activa 6G, Hero Splendor Plus, Bajaj Pulsar 150, TVS Jupiter, Royal Enfield Classic 350).
- Fitment Groups: Group interchangeable spare parts into reusable fitment clusters so shop staff can immediately verify cross-model compatibility during sales inquiries.
Multi-Location Storage Naming Standard
Prince Picker establishes clear visual distinction between sales counter inventory and back-room warehouse storage:
- Shop Floor Storage: Formatted as Rack/Level/Bin (e.g., `R1L1B1` = Rack 1, Level 1, Bin 1).
- Warehouse Storage: Uses the explicit `WR` prefix (e.g., `WR1L1B1` = Warehouse Rack 1, Level 1, Bin 1).
- Per-Location Stock & Alert Thresholds: Maintain independent stock balances and low-stock alert thresholds for every individual shelf location.
- Shop Usable Stock vs Total Stock: Automatically calculate usable shop stock separately from total combined inventory.
Stock Transfers & Warehouse Workflows
Moving items from secondary warehouse storage to front-of-shop counter shelves is simple and error-free:
- Select target location chips (`[R1L1B1 · 10 pcs · Primary]` or `[WR1L1B1 · 50 pcs]`) to update or add locations.
- Perform stock transfers between warehouse racks and shop shelves without losing track of total inventory.
- Guided pick-and-drop workflow routing for warehouse fulfillment operators.
