In short

How do I automatically identify slow-moving auto parts inventory in MAM Autopart?

Every Monday, WebRun analyses sales history in MAM Software Autopart to find SKUs with no movement in the past 90 days, calculates the stock value tied up in each line, logs a ranked clearance report to Google Sheets, and posts the purchasing manager a Slack digest so dead stock is identified and actioned before it ties up more working capital.

  • Total dead stock value is visible every Monday so working capital decisions are based on current data
  • Highest-value slow movers are ranked at the top so clearance effort goes where it matters most
  • Seasonal parts are excluded automatically so the report focuses on genuinely stagnant lines

Questions, answered

Will it automatically mark down prices or return stock to suppliers?

No. WebRun only identifies the slow movers and presents the list. Markdown or return decisions are made by your purchasing manager and actioned in MAM Software Autopart by your team.

Can I change the 90-day threshold to a different period?

Yes. The no-movement period is set once when configuring WebRun and can be adjusted to any window you prefer, such as 60 or 120 days, to match your stock-turn targets.

How are seasonal parts handled so they are not wrongly flagged?

SKUs marked as seasonal in MAM Software Autopart are excluded from the slow-movers run automatically, so summer or winter lines are not flagged for clearance during their off-season.
