PartsEdge combines technology with experienced parts professionals to continually monitor the decisions that affect inventory performance.
Monitor demand, movement, phase-in and phase-out activity and stocking parameters so more inventory dollars are positioned in parts that sell.
Build and maintain pricing matrices designed to support dealership pricing goals and capture gross profit opportunity.
Identify aging and idle inventory earlier and help keep unnecessary inventory investment from continuing to build.
Continually monitor and optimize the DMS settings, sources and controls that influence what gets stocked and how the inventory behaves.
Let's look at where your inventory dollars are working, where they're sitting idle, and where there may be more profit opportunity.
Programs like RIM, PartsEye, ARO and SRD help determine what the dealership stocks, but they don't manage every part or every inventory dollar.
Parts influenced by the manufacturer program and potentially eligible for return protection.
Parts outside manufacturer protection. The dealership owns the stocking decision and the financial risk.
Across 223 dealerships, 15 manufacturers and more than $190 million in parts inventory, we found that roughly half of the inventory investment fell outside manufacturer protection.
We work alongside the manufacturer program while helping Parts Managers manage the inventory around it. That means looking at actual demand, sales history, aging, DMS settings and stocking behavior across the entire inventory, not just the portion influenced by the OEM.
Manufacturer benchmarking adds context by comparing key inventory measures with other PartsEdge dealerships representing the same make.
More productive inventory means more of the dealership's investment is positioned in parts with an opportunity to sell. Even a small improvement in that mix can create meaningful gross profit potential.

Gross profit potential each time that inventory turns.
That $16,175 isn't a one-time opportunity. At 6–7 inventory turns per year and a 37% gross margin, it represents approximately $36,000–$42,000 in annual gross profit potential.
Identify the inventory dollars that aren't working and reduce the amount of capital tied up on the shelf. PartsEdge clients can see 20–50% reductions in idle inventory while building a healthier inventory mix.
Getting the right inventory on the shelf creates the opportunity. Pricing it correctly helps the dealership capture more gross from the parts it's already selling.
The goal isn't simply to carry less inventory. It's to put more of the dealership's investment into parts with an opportunity to sell, support service and generate gross profit.
