Garage Inventory Software for UK Garages
Garage inventory software keeps stock levels, part costs, and supplier orders in one place — so parts never sit unaccounted for on a shelf, and never go missing off a job or an invoice.
Definition
What is garage inventory software?
Garage inventory software is a system for tracking every part a workshop buys, holds, and fits — replacing the mix of paper stock sheets, spreadsheets, and memory that most garages rely on. It tells you what you have, what it is worth, and where it went.
In Autex, stock and jobs work together, so there is no separate stock spreadsheet to update afterwards, and no part quietly fitted for free because nobody logged it.
It also connects to your suppliers. Instead of ringing round or logging into a separate trade site, you can order parts from GSF Car Parts or Group Tyre without leaving the job.
What it does
What Autex inventory covers
Live stock levels
Know what parts you have on the shelf at any moment, without a manual count.
Low-stock alerts
Get warned before a fast-moving part runs out, so a job never grinds to a halt waiting on something you should already have on the shelf.
Parts added straight to jobs
Put parts from stock onto a job in a couple of taps — no separate spreadsheet to keep up to date.
Supplier ordering (GSF, Group Tyre)
Find and order parts from GSF Car Parts and Group Tyre without leaving the job.
Cost vs sell-price margins
See what you make on parts on every job, and stop parts quietly eating into profit.
Stock-take & valuation
Stock-takes are quicker, and you know what everything on the shelf is worth.

Who benefits most
Which garages gain most from inventory software?
Any garage holding stock benefits from proper inventory control, but the gains are largest for workshops that are quietly losing money two ways at once: over-ordering parts they already had, and under-billing parts that were fitted but never made it onto the invoice. Both are invisible until you look — and both come straight off the bottom line.
With parts management working alongside every job, a part fitted is a part billed, every time. And with live stock levels and low-stock alerts, you order what you actually need, when you actually need it, instead of topping up "just in case" or ringing a supplier mid-job because a part everyone assumed was in stock wasn't.
Ordering direct from GSF Car Parts means no more checking prices on a separate trade site and re-typing them into the job — one less place for a mistake to creep in.
