Mike Murphy Ford was carrying excessive idle inventory that tied up cash, consumed shelf space, and made inventory management harder than it needed to be. The dealership needed a better way to identify aging parts, improve inventory visibility, and make smarter stocking decisions without creating more complexity for the team.
Reduced idle inventory by 40%, improved inventory organization, and created clearer visibility into aging stock and stocking opportunities.
PartsEdge
“PartsEdge gave us visibility into inventory issues we couldn’t easily identify before. ”

Bryan McIntosh, Parts Manager at Mike Murphy Ford, wanted better visibility into the dealership’s inventory performance and aging stock. Like many dealerships, the team had inventory sitting on shelves longer than expected, making it harder to control obsolescence and maintain efficient inventory levels.
By implementing PartsEdge, Bryan was able to identify slow-moving inventory earlier, improve organization, and make more proactive inventory decisions based on clearer reporting and operational insights.
Before implementing PartsEdge, Mike Murphy Ford was struggling with aging inventory that had accumulated over time. The dealership needed a more effective way to identify idle parts, separate out low-performing inventory, and create better operational visibility across the department.
Without clear reporting and inventory controls, it became more difficult to confidently make stocking adjustments or proactively address inventory issues before they impacted profitability.
The team also needed a solution that could simplify inventory management without disrupting the processes already in place inside the dealership.
With PartsEdge, Bryan and the team gained clearer visibility into inventory performance and aging stock trends. The dealership restructured inventory controls to better identify idle parts, separate aging inventory, and improve stocking visibility across the department.
The team introduced clearer inventory reporting, operational alerts, and improved organization for slow-moving inventory. Instead of replacing existing systems, PartsEdge helped the dealership make smarter use of the data already available inside the DMS while simplifying day-to-day inventory decisions.
Within the first phase of implementation, Mike Murphy Ford reduced idle inventory by 40% while improving inventory visibility and organization across the department. The dealership experienced faster inventory decisions, cleaner inventory processes, reduced excess stock, and improved control over aging inventory. Most importantly, the team shifted from reacting to inventory problems after they happened to proactively managing inventory with clearer operational insight.
