Counter staff need current availability
When a customer asks whether a part is available, the answer should come from current stock levels, not from a file that may be behind the last shipment.
Know what is on the shelf, what is on the way, and where to find it. HandiFox gives auto parts sellers, body shops, and detailing suppliers one inventory management system for stock levels, parts availability, barcode counts, purchasing, fulfillment, and QuickBooks.

When a customer asks whether a part is available, the answer should come from current stock levels, not from a file that may be behind the last shipment.
If the team cannot confirm stock quickly, it is harder to promise the part, reserve it for an order, or route the sale to the right location.
Detailing supplies and fast-moving parts need thresholds that buyers can see before the shelf gets low.
Similar SKUs, finishes, and variants need barcode checks so the picked part matches the order before the box leaves.

Pull up the part behind a number, its description, unit of measure, and current quantity, so a customer gets a real answer instead of an estimate.
Set up categories that match how your business groups stock: by product line, supplier, or the shelf it lives on.
Scan a part to identify it, including stock that arrived without a usable barcode. HandiFox generates and prints new labels for those.

Sell knowing what is on hand and what is coming in. HandiFox holds the quantity for each part and shows what already sits on a purchase order, so your team can commit without hoping the shelf agrees.
Where stock sits in more than one place, the quantity at each location shows next to the company total. That is the difference between telling a customer you are out, and telling them you are out here but there are twelve at the other branch. Track stock across sites.
Set the level that triggers a restock and the level you want back on the shelf, per part and per location.
When a part reaches its low stock threshold, HandiFox builds a suggestion from the reorder point, desired quantity, and item movement.
The suggestion becomes a prepopulated purchase order for your buyer to review and send. The ordering decision stays with your team.

More on barcode scanning and order picking and packing.

Scan a delivery in against its purchase order instead of keying quantities line by line.

Count one aisle or one product line without closing the counter for the day. Full physical inventory works the same way.

Verify each line as it is picked, so the box that leaves matches the order on paper.
Follow serial- and lot-tracked products from receipt at the warehouse through shipping to the customer. For a body shop or detailing supplier, lot number tracking matters most for chemicals with a shelf life, while serial number tracking matters most for parts a customer may return.
Record the serial or lot when the part arrives.
The serial or lot stays with the transaction as the item moves through stock.
Use the history for supplier claims, customer service, or internal checks. Learn about serial and lot tracking.
A phone becomes a product catalog and inventory app: receive, count, pick, pack, and sell wherever the stock is. HandiFox Online runs on Android and iOS; HandiFox Desktop on Android.
Inventory, purchasing, and sales data moves to QuickBooks Online or Desktop, depending on the product you run. A full synchronization happens each time you save work.
Customize inventory, purchasing, and sales reporting by branch, supplier, customer, or period, including costs per line.
Explore the mobile inventory app and QuickBooks inventory integration.
Businesses that turn wrenches on a schedule normally use a shop system for the work and an inventory system for the stock behind it.
Keep the places where parts are held and handled connected to one inventory record.

Receive parts, count bins, and pick orders from a record your team can use on the warehouse floor.

Give counter staff the same view of what is available before they promise a part to a customer.

Use a phone or scanner for receiving, counts, picking, and packing where the work happens.
Rohana Wheels calls out a common auto-parts problem: the order looks ready, but the wrong item leaves the building. HandiFox gives the team a way to check inventory and shipments before that mistake reaches the customer.
“Before HandiFox, we noticed our employees making frequent mistakes with shipping incorrect orders. We’ve been using this for over 5 years now and reduces our shipping errors to less than 1%.”

Employees were making frequent mistakes with incorrect orders before shipment.
The team moved order checks into HandiFox workflows, where inventory, picking, packing, and shipping activity can be verified before the order goes out.
Barcode scanning, inventory visibility, and pick-and-pack controls help the team confirm the right products before shipment.
