How Solwit Automated Warehouse Operations for Auto Plus – One of the Largest Auto Parts Retailers with Over 200,000 Unique Items

Implemented Solutions

Warehouse Accounting

Challenge

Before transitioning to Solwit, Auto Plus was already using an ERP system. However, at a certain point, its developer discontinued support for the product, which required the client to seek a new service provider.
When selecting a new ERP vendor, Auto Plus placed a strong focus on warehouse management. At the same time, it was equally important to ensure seamless integration with their existing e-commerce platform and Brio POS systems.

The flexibility of the solution and the ability to ensure a fast and smooth transition were also key factors in the decision-making process.

In addition, the client had a defined budget that needed to be met, as well as a relatively tight implementation timeline.

During the solution presentation, it became clear that the solution offered by Solwit could fully meet all of the specified requirements.

Solution

Implementation of standard ERP modules – Warehouse and Accounting – with further customization to meet the client’s needs.


We are very satisfied with our decision to partner with Solwit. The transition to the new system was completed within our defined timeline and budget, which was a key factor in selecting our new partner.
Solwit continues to maintain the implemented solutions and regularly delivers requested updates.

“We especially appreciate Solwit’s technical support, which responds very quickly to all of our requests.”

Key Project Benefits

Integration with POS systems

The POS retrieves data from the shopping cart created in the Warehouse system, and once payment is completed, the relevant information is automatically transferred to the Accounting system.

Integration with the online store

The integration involves a data warehouse that collects information from multiple systems, including our Warehouse and Accounting systems. Only after the data is consolidated in the data warehouse is it sent to the online store.

Integration with QlikView

From the QlikView application installed on the client’s computers, users can click a single button to automatically load up-to-date data into the QlikView system, which company management uses for sales data analysis.

Discount management

Auto Plus operates its own loyalty program, under which customers are issued discount cards. When a card is scanned, the system immediately recognizes which discounts apply to the specific customer. Discounts can be applied to individual products as well as entire product groups.

Inventory control using the Min/Max method

Using this approach, the system ensures that stock levels do not fall below the minimum defined on each product card and recommends ordering the relevant items from suppliers. If customers order products that are not kept in stock, these items are automatically included in supplier orders.

Each Auto Plus store has its own Min/Max stock levels. The system includes a function that balances inventory across stores to ensure a similar distribution of stock. All transfer documents between stores and the warehouse are generated automatically.

For transfers between warehouses, the Auto Plus system uses a special status, “Goods in Transit.” Upon receipt of the goods, the status is updated and the items are added to store inventory.

The system also includes several industry-specific reports that enable faster and more accurate analysis of the company’s current performance. Reports can be viewed across different analytical dimensions.

The system automatically generates a “hazardous waste” report and submits it to DRN.
