Every Great Solution Starts with a Problem

 

PartsEdge was founded by Chuck Hartle, a seasoned Fixed Operations Director, and Cliff Cope, a technical programming wizard with deep Data and DMS expertise.

They knew Dealer Management Systems (DMS) could do more to support the people who make fixed ops run — Parts Managers. So, they built a solution that unlocks the DMS’s full potential.

With PartsEdge, your team gains the data, structure, and automation to reduce obsolescence and boost profitability—without adding more to your workload.

Because great Parts Managers don’t need replacing. They need better tools to do what they already do best.

Our system reviews hundreds of details, from stocking levels and sales patterns to ordering settings, ensuring your inventory always matches real customer demand.

Monthly Performance Reports & Support 

So you always know where you stand and what’s improving.

Still Have Questions?

We’ve Got Answers.


Switching up how you manage parts inventory can raise a few questions — and we get it. Here are some of the most common things Parts Managers and Fixed Ops Directors ask when they’re getting to know PartsEdge and how our monthly service works.

Q1. Is PartsEdge software or a consulting service?

Neither — PartsEdge is a monthly service that works with your existing DMS.
You don’t need to learn new software or manage another platform. We handle the behind-the-scenes optimization so your team can focus on what matters most: serving customers and selling parts.

Q2. How does PartsEdge connect with my DMS?

We securely access your Dealer Management System — including CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack, Tekion, Dominion, PBS, Automate, and others — to review your inventory setup and performance daily. Then, we fine-tune phase-in/out rules, stocking parameters, and key settings to keep your DMS organized, accurate, and profitable.

Q3. How much time does it take for my Parts Manager?

Very little. Most Parts Managers spend under an hour each month reviewing reports and strategy updates with our team. We do the heavy lifting — your Parts Manager stays in control without getting buried in data, saving Parts Managers 4-6 hours a week.

Q4. What kind of results can we expect?

Dealerships using PartsEdge see:

  • Significant reduction in obsolescence and excess stock

  • Cleaner, more accurate DMS data

  • Faster inventory turns and stronger profit margins

  • Hours saved every week through automation and structure

In short, we help you run a leaner, more profitable parts operation — without extra work.

Q5. Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Nope. PartsEdge is a month-to-month service — no long-term  contracts, no commitment pressure. We earn your business with results, not paperwork.

Q6. How long does it take to get started?

Most dealerships are up and running within two weeks. Once we connect to your DMS, our team handles setup, data review, and optimization behind the scenes. You’ll start seeing cleaner data and smarter inventory movement within the first month — without interrupting your daily operations.
