Datalex’s auto-parts system tracks stock by part number and vehicle fitment — not generic category names — with supplier and batch source recorded per intake, so staff can confirm fit and prove provenance in seconds.

• Workshop Supply Businesses
• Multi-Branch Parts Retailers
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria has estimated that a large share of auto spare parts sold in the country are fake or substandard, with safety-critical categories like brake pads and filters among the most frequently counterfeited. Generic inventory software tracks stock by a generic product name — "brake pad" — when the same name can cover dozens of different fitments across makes, models, and years. That's the exact gap that costs a sale: a customer needs a specific fitment, and a system that can't search by vehicle instead of by exact part name sends them to a competitor.
Part Number & Fitment Tracking — Stock tracked by part number and vehicle fitment (make, model, year range), not generic category names.
Supplier & Batch Provenance Records — Records exactly which supplier and batch a part came from at intake, giving you a defensible record if authenticity is ever challenged.
Cross-Reference Fitment Search — Staff can search by vehicle to find a compatible part quickly, not only by the exact part name a customer happens to use.
Fast/Slow-Moving Stock Analytics — Flags which SKUs are actually turning over across a catalog that can run into thousands of low-turnover parts.
Multi-Branch/Warehouse Stock — Stock visibility and transfer tracking across multiple shops or warehouses.
Generic retail software has no concept of vehicle fitment or parts provenance — it treats a brake pad like any other SKU.
In a market where counterfeit parts are a well-documented, safety-critical problem, the dealers who protect themselves and their customers are the ones who can document exactly where a part came from and match it to the right vehicle on the first try.
Datalex builds both into the system by default.
Bring a sample of your current inventory: Excel sheet, paper ledger, or existing software export
Your stock, records, and customer/credit data are imported
Covers day-to-day use at the point of sale, receiving desk
Typically 3-5 days for a single location; longer for multi-branch, or multi-warehouse setups
It records supplier source and batch documentation per intake for your own provenance records; it doesn't perform independent physical authenticity verification.
