$martList has now been released to all Advanced Partmate customers! $martList is a powerful new feature that answers questions like "Are there parts that the data says I should be inventorying, but I'm not?" and "Are there parts that I'm currently inventorying, that aren't as profitable as I thought?"

 

To do this, $martList uses your own sales statistics and inventory levels along with Car-Part demand data, list prices, labor data, and industry core offers to identify valuable parts you may not be aware of or have on your parts lists. $martList puts this info right on your parts list, so it's easily accessible while you're inventorying.

 

$martList even takes into consideration the differences between parts. For example, your inventory strategy for high-dollar parts is likely different than your strategy for low-dollar parts. (A 20% profit on a high-dollar part may be valuable, but a 20% profit on a low-value part might not be worth it to you.) Some parts are sold mostly to a local market, while some can be shipped nationwide. $martList can take all of this into account when determining which parts are valuable additions to your inventory.

You can use $martList right "out of the box" with no customization, but it will work best for you if you take the time to customize the settings to your own business. To help you get the most out of $martList, check off each box on this checklist:
