Auto Parts "Digital Stockroom"
A searchable inventory system that turned an auto parts supplier's phone-heavy sales process into a 24/7 digital catalog.
What changed
Customers can now search the catalog before calling, which turns vague stock questions into more qualified inquiries and frees staff from repeating the same availability checks all day. The business also gained a 24/7 way to surface inventory without relying on phone time alone.

Why it mattered
The business managed a massive, constantly-changing inventory of auto parts. Customers had no way to check stock other than calling or visiting, which consumed hours of staff time in repetitive phone calls and led to lost sales.
Constraints
- Inventory changed constantly, so staff needed a simple way to keep listings current.
- Customers needed to find relevant stock without calling the shop first.
