Parts
Machines get the glory, but parts pay the bills
When you charge for them. A parts department leaks in small, unremarkable amounts, and it leaks most on the days everybody is busy.
Replaces: a parts book, a shelf nobody counts, and a price worked out from whatever the last one cost.
1:06 to watch
How it goes today
- Nobody is certain what is on the shelf until somebody goes and looks.
- Parts fitted in a hurry are never written down anywhere that bills.
- The reorder happens when the last one is used, which is a week too late.
What Stalmio does instead
- Every part in stock control, with the bin it lives in and the level it reorders at.
- What it cost you and what it sells for, on the same screen.
- On a job or across the counter, nothing leaves the shelf unbilled.

Questions dealers ask
- Will it tell me when to reorder?
- Each part carries a reorder level and the quantity on hand, so low and out of stock are states you can see and filter to rather than facts you discover. Every part also records where it lives, down to the bin.
- Does it know which parts fit which machines?
- Yes. Parts carry compatibility, so the right filter goes on the right machine and a counter customer can be answered without a catalogue and a guess.
- Can I sell over the counter as well as on a job?
- A counter sale is just a deal like any other, and a part fitted on a job comes off the same shelf. Either way it leaves stock and lands on a bill.
