Vertical Storage And Automotive Software Solutions For Automotive Distributors
Time and space are critical within an automotive or truck dealership. Dealerships need to have the right part for the service technician as quickly as possible. Additionally, parts departments are being reduced in size to generate more square footage for showrooms or additional service bays, while the number of parts numbers to be stored are increasing with every model year. V&H Material Handling offers solutions to accommodate these needs along with making the parts department an efficient showcase of the dealership. Allow us the opportunity to view your application to determine your need for high density storage, shelving, mezzanines, or vertical lifts.

How Our Automotive Solutions Drive The Parts Department To Maximum Performance
Time is money for automotive service departments – getting vehicles in, serviced and out takes a friendly and competent staff, knowledgeable service technicians and the right parts management system. Having the right part at the right time is critical to maximize the service technicians’ time, and the customers’ service experience. Drawers, bins and bulky storage areas can be a source of wasted time and money. Kardex Remstar automated storage and retrieval systems can be integrated with warehouse management software to control inventory levels. Monitoring the inventory properly can allow the parts department to reduce inventory levels on hand and increase efficiencies.
Increased Productivity
Kardex Remstar automated storage and retrieval systems provide instant access to stored parts. The unit delivers all stored parts directly to the operator; eliminating time spent walking and searching through shelving, cabinets or drawers to find a specific part. Less walk and search time allow more time for other value added activities.
Order Picking
Having the right part at the right time is crucial in maintaining customer satisfaction. With the push of a button, parts are brought directly to the operator at an ergonomic height. Orders can be sent to the customer service counter in a matter of minutes, saving time and manpower.
Maximum storage space on a minimal footprint
Kardex Remstar has thoroughly refined the Megamat system, which has been proven over decades of use. The compact design ensures maximum storage space using minimal floor space. Shelves or drawers rotate up or down via the shortest path to automatically deliver stored items to an operator at an ergonomically positioned workstation. Every Megamat RS can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with software.
Kardex Remstar offers the industry’s broadest selection of automated storage and retrieval systems for automotive service parts and operations. We are an official Kardex dealer and the systems we offer are designed to increase service technician billing efficiency, accommodate more parts in up to 85 % less floor space and service bays or show rooms.
Additional Vertical Storage Solution Resources
Kardex Remstar’s vertical carousels turn wasted bulky and small part bin storage into valuable revenue generating floor space. Regardless of your dealerships need, valuable space can be reclaimed by maximizing your vertical space. Carousels can span multiple floors, dug into existing floors, extend into beam and duct work areas to reclaim unproductive space… up to 40 feet tall.
Drawers in shelving units are the ideal solution for saving space and organizing your parts efficiently! As storage specialists, we recommend using shelving with drawers for small and high-turnover parts. The Rousseau drawer can be installed in more than 35 brands of shelving on the market, allowing you to keep your existing shelving while benefiting from increased storage capacity.
