How Stocklyst helps
AI Import Engine
CSV and Excel headers never match required schema — Upload your parts file, confirm AI mapping, and validate before import
Auto min/max calculation
Reorder points are guesswork — Research-based reorder points for fast movers and consumables, reviewed weekly
Expiry tracking
Fluids and chemicals expire unnoticed — Zone-level expiry dates with automatic near-expiry monitoring for time-sensitive products
Zone-level tracking
Technicians cannot find parts fast — Precise bin, counter, and van zones with required zone assignment for every quantity
Bundle management
Common repair kits are hard to manage — Build bundles for routine jobs and monitor bottleneck components
Variant management
Part variants for different vehicle fitments are not grouped together — Group fitment variations under one parent part with independent SKU and quantity per variant
Related item links
Complementary repair parts are not linked for coordinated ordering — Link complementary repair parts so technicians see related stock alongside the primary part
Offline mobile app
Work happens where internet is unstable — Count, adjust, and review inventory offline on service vans, sync on reconnect
05 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what automotive teams typically ask before setting up Stocklyst.
Can I track OEM and aftermarket parts separately?
Use the OEM Part Number custom field to store manufacturer references. Tags can distinguish OEM from aftermarket sources, and filtering lets you view each category independently.
How does Stocklyst handle core returns?
Create a Core Hold zone and define a transfer workflow for every core return. Track core credits via adjustment reason codes. The Core Required custom field flags items that need core management.
Can I manage inventory on service vans?
Treat each service van as a branch. The offline mobile app lets technicians update stock in the field with no connectivity, then sync when back at the shop.
Does it support barcode scanning for parts verification?
Yes. The built-in barcode scanner on mobile supports EAN-13, UPC, EAN-8, Code 128, and Code 39 formats. Scan to verify picks and reduce wrong-part errors.
