How to run your spare parts business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
Spare parts are a game of exact matches. The wrong brake pads for a Corolla is a returned sale. A dealer needs to know what they have by part number, and where it is.
TheCEOApp keeps each part with its part number, across your shop and branches.
Parts by part number
Record each part with its part number and scan barcodes to sell faster. Search by name or number to find what's in stock.
Fitting on the same bill
Add fitting or delivery as a service on the same sale as the part.
Branches and agents
Send stock to a branch or field agent and see what they sold and paid back.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example brake pads (toyota corolla), shock absorber and headlamp, and services like fitting, home delivery and bulk order. Suggestions for a spare parts come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece, set, pair, litre and gallon. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry barcodes (scan to sell). You can record each product's part number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
