Improving visibility for auto parts customers
We lacked the mathematical input to be able to make data-driven accurate forecasts so we would often end up in either a stock-out or excess-stock situation. We needed to get the right parts in at the right time, and this is what drove us to look for an inventory optimization solution.

FAQs
Automotive inventory management is the process of tracking, forecasting, and optimizing parts and components across your supply chain—whether you’re stocking aftermarket parts, servicing vehicles, or building sub-assemblies. Netstock gives automotive businesses complete visibility into their inventory, so you can instantly see which SKUs to prioritize, where you’re at risk of stock-outs, and where you’re holding excess. As a strategic partner in supply and demand planning, Netstock uses AI to analyze your inventory data, surface issues, and tell you exactly what actions to take next. With smarter forecasting and replenishment, you’ll reduce waste, improve availability, and make better decisions with confidence.
Auto parts demand is highly dynamic, driven by factors like vehicle age, model popularity, seasonal repair cycles, and even regional differences. Netstock uses advanced forecasting models and AI to analyze historical sales, market trends, and customer demand patterns across thousands of SKUs. This enables more accurate forecasts at the parts level—helping you avoid overstocking slow-moving parts while ensuring critical items are always available.
Look for an automotive parts inventory management system that understands the complexity of the industry. The right solution should have features including:
- Part-level forecasting based on vehicle models, service history, and seasonality
- Automated replenishment with safety stock optimization
- Multi-location inventory visibility (across depots, bays, stores, or regions)
- Supplier performance tracking to manage volatile lead times
- AI tools for identifying demand shifts and preventing stock-outs before they occur
- Integration with your ERP, POS, or WMS systems
- A well-established onboarding and ongoing training support
Netstock delivers all of these. We give you the tools to optimize service levels without tying up capital in excess inventory. See Netstock in action here.
Netstock helps reduce excess by:
- Automatically classifying inventory (e.g., by velocity, margin, or criticality)
- Using predictive analytics to set accurate reorder points
- Optimizing order quantities based on supplier performance and MOQ constraints
- Surfacing slow-moving or obsolete items so you can take corrective action
Excess inventory ties up working capital, consumes warehouse space, and increases the risk of obsolescence, especially with parts proliferation. These capabilities allow you to maintain high availability for essential parts while trimming unnecessary stock elsewhere in your catalog.
