Rolling Components, a UK distributor of brand-new surcharge-free automotive parts, has invested in MAM’s Autopart and Warehouse Management Software (WMS) to support its ecommerce offer.

Rolling Components has been an MAM customer for a number of years, as its Rollco branded products are listed on Autocat, MAM’s online vehicle parts catalogue.

The data is maintained using Automate Online, a data management application that enables parts suppliers to directly publish to Autocat.

Real-time trading

Utkarsh Aggarwal, director of Rolling Components, explained that the company decided to enlist other MAM products due to their compatibility with TecCom, a B2B platform for the international automotive market, which enables real-time electronic trading between parts suppliers and their customers.

He said: “We work closely with GROUPAUTO, whose members were increasingly demanding TecCom compatibility from our system.

“This wasn’t something our previous provider could offer, which is when we started to look for alternatives” Utkarsh explained.

“We considered a number of other providers, but MAM stood out because we could benefit from TecCom straight away.

“This functionality is crucial to the future of our business, so we needed it to be installed as soon as possible.”

Utkarsh noted that the company is eager to get started with its new systems, which are due to be installed in the coming weeks.

The company said using WMS will enable the company to improve its stock flow and inventory management.

There are currently 25 people working in the warehouse, so access to this software will help them gain a clear picture of stock movements at all times.

Garages can buy online

Rolling Components receives most of its orders via phone, SMS and email, so this latest investment will open up greater opportunities for electronic sales.

Mark Kendall, sales director at MAM Software, commented: “Suppliers and motor factors are increasingly recognising the value of investing in ecommerce solutions.

“The TecCom compatibility of our software makes it a valuable proposition for any business in the sector, and we look forward to seeing how these new systems benefit Rolling Components over the coming months.”

Autopart is business management software designed specifically for the automotive market.

It is capable of seamlessly integrating sales, stock management, accounting and reporting processes in one easy-to-use package.

Lower costs

The cloud-based solution lowers upfront costs and eliminates the need for updates and maintenance.

MAM’s WMS is fully integrated with Autopart to optimise the flow of goods through a warehouse.

Data input is achieved via a handheld PDA and scanner, which allows for central software to be continuously updated through a wireless connection.

Established in 1979, Rolling Components covers a range of passenger car and light commercial vehicle applications, as well as agricultural references, all manufactured to OE-quality standards.
