How does AssetBlaze prevent parts stockouts in auto repair shops?

AssetBlaze monitors every SKU in real time against your configured minimum stock thresholds. When a part drops below its minimum, you receive an alert immediately, before a technician starts a job and discovers the part is missing.

Can AssetBlaze link parts usage to specific job cards?

Yes. Parts are allocated to a job card at the point of booking, reserving them so they cannot be double-allocated. When the job is completed, parts are automatically deducted from stock and the cost syncs to QuickBooks.

Does AssetBlaze work with supplier part catalogues for workshops?

Yes. Import supplier catalogues via CSV, Excel, or API feed. AssetBlaze maps part numbers, pricing, and lead times automatically. When a reorder alert fires, you can raise a purchase order in one click.

Is AssetBlaze cheaper than a dealer management system (DMS) for an independent workshop?

Significantly. DMS platforms are built for franchised dealerships and typically cost $500-$2,000+ per month with months-long implementation. AssetBlaze starts with a free plan, purpose-built for independent workshops with same-day setup.

The problem

Running out of parts costs more than the parts.

A mechanic standing idle, a customer rescheduled, a two-hour job stretching into two days, it all starts with not knowing what's on the shelf.

01

"I thought we had it" stockout

You pull a job card, the tech starts the strip-down, and discovers the part isn't there. Or there's one left and it's spoken for on tomorrow's booking. The job stops. The bay goes idle.

02

Over-ordering to compensate

Because you can't trust your stock count, you order more than you need. Slow-moving parts pile up on the shelf for months. Capital tied up in inventory you don't need.

03

Manual parts reconciliation

Every part that goes onto a job needs to come off the shelf count. Without a system, that reconciliation is manual, after the fact, and full of gaps. Inventory counts drift further from reality every week.

04

Supplier catalogue chaos

You deal with 3, 5, maybe 10 suppliers, each with their own part numbers, pricing sheets, and minimum order rules. Managing this across spreadsheets means you're leaving money on the table on every order.

Built for workshops

The right parts. The right amount. Every time.

AssetBlaze is built around how businesses actually buy, store, and use parts, not generic inventory software with a workshop skin.

Workshops that stopped running blind.

We used to do a full manual stocktake every Friday afternoon. Two hours, every week. Now AssetBlaze tells me in real time and I get that time back. Haven't done a manual count in four months.

The part allocation to jobs feature is the one that changed everything. Before, two techs would grab the same part for different jobs and one would find out mid-job it wasn't there. That doesn't happen anymore.

I was spending about $800 a month on emergency courier deliveries for parts I ran out of. Three months in with AssetBlaze, that number is basically zero. The reorder alerts catch it every time.
