Flyntlok parts inventory

Parts pays the bills

Machines get the glory. Parts pays the bills. A good parts system knows what you have, what you sold, what to reorder, and what each part should sell for. Flyntlok's public pages cover parts as a core department, and its support site documents item pricing rules — how your store's sell prices are set and adjusted inside the system.

Why pricing rules matter at the counter

Item pricing rules decide what the counter charges: list price, customer discounts, contract rates for commercial accounts. If the rules are flexible, your counter charges the right price without a calculator. Read the public help article before the demo, then ask to see a commercial account's contract price apply automatically.

What to test in the demo

• Look up a part by number, description, and by the machine it fits.
• See on-hand, on-order, and sold-this-year counts.
• Build a reorder list from sales history.
• Apply a contract price to a commercial account.
• Sell a part over the counter and watch stock update.

The rekeying audit

If your parts person keys an order into the DMS and then keys it again on a supplier website, count it. Orders per month times minutes each is real labor. Use the tool below to put dollars on it. That number tells you what a real supplier connection is worth to your counter.

A worked task: the contract-price test

Flyntlok's public help documents item pricing rules. Suggested demo test: ring up a part for a commercial account and watch the contract price apply without the counter person calculating anything. Inputs: one commercial customer with a special rate. Expected output: the right price, automatically. The exception to test: the override. Ask how a counter person handles a one-time deal, and how the manager sees overrides later, because unlogged overrides are margin leaking.
