Digital inventory in practice

For a long time, inventory was an organizationally complex process. Paper lists, handwritten notes, and downstream Excel evaluations led to a high need for coordination and additional effort in evaluating inventory data.

“Our aim was not to adapt existing processes to a system, but to develop them digitally so that they function reliably in everyday operations.” – Christoph Weber, Head of Disposition at the Aschaffenburg site, Brass Group

With the digital inventory solution ex:stock, inventory processes can be carried out completely digitally. The application helps car dealerships to record inventory in a structured manner, identify discrepancies more quickly, and document inventory results transparently.

Thanks to the user-friendly application, the Brass Group's inventory processes could be digitally supported without fundamentally changing existing workflows.

Greater transparency in the inventory process

Today, digital inventory is an integral part of the Brass Group's operational processes. Inventory data is always available and up to date, and reconciliations are based on a consistent database. At the same time, the amount of rework required in the inventory process has been significantly reduced.

“From our point of view, it is crucial that a digital inventory solution specifically supports the real processes in the car dealership. This is the only way to achieve acceptance and sustainable benefits.” – Sebastian Lammel, Head of Digital Solutions, EXCON Services GmbH
