NAPA Integrated Business SolutionsFleetFocus™ Integration with NAPA® Integrated Business Solutions®Managing the inventory needed to keep a fleet running is just one of the many challenges facing fleet managers today. Selecting and ordering the correct parts can require a great deal of research which can also be very time-consuming for busy technicians. Fleet managers must also find the right balance between having all the parts needed on site and the costs associated with carrying that inventory. NAPA Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) provides a solution that gives fleets the benefit of an industry expert in all aspects of parts inventory management running the parts room. If your fleet currently uses NAPA’s IBS solution or you are considering their solution, AssetWorks provides direct integration to your FleetFocus maintenance management software that can increase your efficiencies for parts management. The integration between FleetFocus and NAPA’s IBS system allows for paperless workflow in your shop. When technicians place a work order parts request using FleetFocus, the details of that order are passed through to the NAPA TAMS point-of-sale system in real-time. NAPA’s expert staff will assist with the research for the proper part, fulfill the order and have the part ready for the technician. If the part is not in the standing inventory, the NAPA staff member will place the order and update the inventory. All parts that are sold to your organization through NAPA’s TAMS Point Of Sale system - whether to work orders, or directly to departments or account codes - are immediately viewable in FleetFocus as valid parts issue transactions. This effectively eliminates any incorrect coding of issue transactions as all your business rules defined in FleetFocus are still fully enforced in real-time. The inventory is updated in FleetFocus in real-time which gives fleet managers an accurate view of the parts that are on hand (including quantity and price) at any time. This can be critical information to help the fleet manager assess whether or not a vehicle should be taken out of service for repair. The FleetFocus/NAPA integration supports multiple storerooms and maintenance facilities with its parts transfer functionality. Inventory can be transferred from the central NAPA IBS location to a satellite facility’s on-hand inventory, where the built-in inventory tracking of FleetFocus takes over. FleetFocus also assist with reconciliation of invoices for NAPA parts orders. An independent process of the FleetFocus/NAPA integration performs a cross-check of your NAPA invoice against parts issue transactions, ensuring that everything you’re being billed for has been properly accounted for in FleetFocus. This feature alone can save your organization a great deal of time manually reconciling NAPA invoices.
