Native Parts Catalog Simplifies Auto Inventory Management

Make the most of every minute

Building estimates can eat up valuable time in your day, especially if they don’t pay off with a customer saying ‘yes.’ So, stop polluting your day with popup windows that clutter your auto repair software screen.

Instead, you find the parts you need fast without scrolling through pages to unearth each one from separate sources. This is why you invested in shop management software in the first place – to work more efficiently.

The Native Parts Catalog does the hard work for you. It connects all your vendors inside the repair order, so you can build accurate quotes in seconds instead of minutes. You quickly compare vendors and pricing at a glance, making parts ordering easier than ever before.
When you get it right, without making the customer wait, you can start the repair order even sooner. That keeps dollars flowing into the shop without delay.

No fret, no sweat auto inventory management

Shop-Ware makes the process simple and easy to learn with three steps to find and add parts to your order. You’ll wonder how you ever worked with a clunky menu within other automotive repair software in the past!

Here’s how it works:

1. Start by choosing a recommended service and looking up the part under the Estimator tab within the repair shop software. In less than a minute, you’ll see a range of options that you can choose with a click on a box.

2. Quickly check the auto inventory management to see if it’s in stock. Next, open the dropdown menus to see more details in the notes.

3. Add the auto parts you need – based on price, fit, or availability — to the repair order. With that done so quickly, you can carry on with your next estimate or another customer!

Best of all, you haven’t used up your stores of mental energy to decide where to source the parts or how to calculate the overall total. The auto repair shop software does it for you.
