An auto parts store can exist both autonomously and as a structural unit of a large auto service. In both cases, the principle of its operation will be approximately the same. The most important thing here is the correct and well-functioning organization of the warehouse, where the auto parts presented in the store's assortment will be stored.
It is necessary
- - premises
- - storage equipment
- - a computer with specialized software for accounting of goods
- - sales assistant (manager) and warehouse manager
- - business relationships with several suppliers
- - a package of permits and constituent documents
Instructions
Step 1
Find a space that will house a warehouse for auto parts and separate a small area for a sales area and work with clients. There will be no need to display a lot of goods - after all, they will turn to you for specific details for the mechanisms of cars of specific brands. It is much more important to quickly find the required units among many others: this is why a warehouse at a retail point of sale of auto parts must work like a clock.
Step 2
Equip the warehouse and organize an address storage system on it. At the same time, be sure to compile a product database and carefully maintain it using specialized software. Auto parts for cars are those goods, the storage of which requires complete order.
Step 3
Hire at least two employees to service your auto parts store - a sales assistant and a warehouse manager. If the store is part of a car service or car dealership, then a separate accountant is not required for it. At the point of sale, which works autonomously, accounting should be entrusted to a specialist from the very beginning.
Step 4
Find auto parts suppliers that you will feel confident working with. The company from which you order the parts must ship the goods on time and make as few "rejections" as possible for the units that you have chosen in its catalog. The more reliable and trusted suppliers are among your partners, the better.
