Built for the long tail.
Long-tail slotting
Thousands of slow movers stored dense while the vital few sit where pickers can reach them fast.
The catalogue splits by pick frequency, not by part family — a bolt that turns daily and the gasket it's paired with can land in different zones entirely. Dense storage for the slow group still clusters by neighbouring part number, so a picker filling one repair order isn't hunting across an unindexed back wall.
Weight & size compliance
Heavy parts low, bay limits respected — audited continuously, not once a year.
Every putaway is checked against the bay's rated load and the part's weight class before the system confirms the location — a transmission housing can't be pushed onto an upper shelf even by a manual override that skips the check. When an auditor asks why a bay sits empty, the reason is already logged, not reconstructed from memory.
Urgent order flow
Vehicle-off-road lines picked first — slotting that keeps critical parts at the front.
A VOR flag at order entry breaks the part out of the normal wave sequence and pushes it to the front of whatever pick run is already underway, ahead of routine replenishment that was released first. A dealer with one car on the lift waiting on a single part isn't queued behind a bulk stock transfer that simply started earlier.
Kitting & sequencing
Multi-line kits picked in efficient runs, simulated before the flow changes.
Kit sequencing is timed against the plant's line-feed schedule, not just against when the kit is complete, so parts for the same build slot arrive in the order the line needs them. A kit that's complete but sequenced wrong forces a re-sort at the point of use — the kind of gap simulation catches before the schedule goes live.
Storage density
Empty-location analysis finds capacity in a catalogue that never stops growing.
The analysis flags bins sized for full-case parts that are actually holding a handful of loose small components, and proposes splitting or consolidating so each location fits the part class it's meant for. New part numbers get a home inside the existing footprint, not a request for another rack row.
Dead stock surfaced
Obsolete part numbers identified so they stop occupying locations that earn nothing.
A part with no sales against it gets cross-checked against the supersession chain before it's called dead — the difference between a part that's genuinely obsolete and one that's simply slow but still correct. Purchasing gets a clear signal to stop reordering it, not just a note that its bay looks quiet.
