Garage management software package, CarVue, has been upgraded with the addition of a stock management capability.

The package allows garages to create ‘products’ for sale to customers, by picking them to be added to quotations and invoices. These can now be marked as stock items, allowing a stock level to be inputted so the stock level reduces as the item is sold.

Talking about this simple innovation, Rob Skidmore, CarVue’s Product Director says, “Almost all garages keep stocks, the most important often being engine oil. But this can be used for any other consumables, or even hard parts where larger garages choose to hold popular items.”

Skidmore adds, “The stock management capability creates history records too so that it’s easier to understand how valuable stocks like engine oils are really being used within the business.”
