Website / eCommerceWhat Automotive businesses need from an ERP
Track fleet, spare parts, and vehicle services all in one place.
Common challenges we solve
Thousands of spare part numbers
Parts have OEM numbers, alternates and compatible models. Without clean product data, counter staff struggle to find the right part quickly.
Stock-outs on fast-moving parts
Filters, brake pads and batteries run out while slow items pile up. Reordering by memory leads to both shortages and dead stock.
Vehicle tracking by chassis number
Each vehicle must be traced by chassis and engine number from import to sale. Manual registers make this hard to audit.
Workshop jobs not linked to billing
Service jobs, parts used and labour are recorded separately from invoicing. Parts get used but not billed.
Weak customer follow-up
Test drives, quotations and service reminders are tracked in notebooks or phones. Leads and repeat service business are lost.
Multiple showrooms and counters
Showrooms, parts counters and workshops in different locations each keep their own records. Management has no single view of sales and stock.
Odoo apps we implement for Automotive
Each app is configured around your processes and connected to the rest of the system, so data entered once is available everywhere.

From enquiry to sale to after-sales service
How a typical automotive process runs inside Odoo once everything is connected.
Capture interest
Website and CRM collect enquiries and record test drives and quotations.
Sell
Sales confirms vehicle orders and Point of Sale handles counter sales of parts.
Deliver
Inventory issues the vehicle or parts by serial number and updates stock in each location.

Reordering rules trigger purchase orders to manufacturers and suppliers.
Support
Helpdesk tracks service requests and warranty claims, and Fleet keeps service history for client vehicles.
Account
Accounting records every sale, purchase and payment by branch for management reporting.
Typical projects
Spare parts catalogue setup
Zencore cleans and imports part data with internal references, barcodes and categories so counter staff can find parts quickly.
Vehicle serial tracking
We configure serial tracking so each vehicle is recorded by chassis number from purchase receipt to customer delivery.
Parts counter POS
We set up Point of Sale at parts counters with barcode scanning and stock updates linked to the main warehouse.
Workshop job card flow
Where a workshop needs job cards with parts and labour, Zencore can deliver this using Odoo's repair or field service features or a tailored customization.
