For auto parts stores with a counter and deliveries to shops
An auto parts counter lives on answering fast and getting it right the first time: the shop waits for the quote with the car open, and if the part was wrong it comes back, costing the delivery and the trust.

Auto Parts Store
Meanwhile the shelves hold parts that never move, warranty and core claims expire with the supplier and shop accounts on credit drag on.
A shop asks on WhatsApp whether you have the part, you take too long to answer and they buy it down the street. The Shadows measure, read-only, how much time passes between the inquiry and your reply.
It was sold without the year, the engine or the full VIN and the part comes back to the counter. The Shadows read sales and returns to see which part families come back most and why.
Some parts have gone months without leaving, tying up cash in the stockroom while the ones people ask for run out. The Shadows cross your stock with how fast each part really moves.
The supplier's deadline passes and nobody remembered, and shops on credit fall behind. The Shadows list what is pending and the deadline of each case.

Ask Adren
Type the question the way you'd ask your manager. Adren answers with what it saw in your operation and what it proposes; the decision is yours.
YouWhich parts have not sold in months?
Some parts are stuck and tie up capital, mostly for less common models. I built bundles to offer to repair shops and fleets; you decide price and recipients.
How it works
The Shadows read your point of sale, your catalog and your returns, read-only; the Company Brief shows where parts come back and where stock sleeps; then the agents act with your approval and Monthly Care measures what was recovered.

Made to measure
What gets turned on depends on your catalog, how you track stock and how much credit you extend. A neighborhood parts store with a single register does not get the same setup as one with three branches that transfer parts among themselves.
Packages
All three are made to measure. They differ by size and complexity, not by a fixed list of features.
1 business
One business · your ERP and systems included
For a single-location parts store, we would usually start with the WhatsApp counter and replenishment by turnover.
Several locations
Several locations or more complex processes
For several branches, we add transfers between them, warranty follow-up and the dead-stock liquidator.
The whole operation
The complete operating system
For regional groups, demand forecasting by area and communication with your distributors, with agents trained on your catalog.
What we measure
Measured from your own baseline. It is not a promised result.
What you already have: your parts list, stock, sales and returns. The Shadows read it without changing it. If your compatibility catalog is incomplete, the Company Brief says so and we begin with one part family.
You or your specialist. The agent asks for the missing data (make, model, year, VIN) and shows matches with their source, but it does not promise compatibility from a photo alone. A person always validates the match before holding or quoting.
It stays as it is. Adren reads it and works on top of it, whether that is a counter POS, a spreadsheet or both. You do not switch systems to start.
