Automotive logistics turns on revision control and traceability. A warehouse management system blocks superseded part revisions at pick, captures serial numbers at receipt and carries them through every movement, and protects line-feed stock from aftermarket demand through channel allocation rules.
Unlock the full potential of logistics to transform your automotive business. Optimize your workflow and significantly reduce costs by on-time delivery and close collaboration with your suppliers. BizBloqs has all the tools and features to make your life a lot easier!
New to this topic? Start with the complete warehouse management system (WMS) guide — what a WMS does, what it costs and how a rollout works.
BizBloqs deliver robust and agile operational solutions designed to meet the unique just-in-time requirements of the Automotive industry. Work with your bills of material as usual while you streamline your processes digitally.
Our platform integrates easily with specialist industry software and material handling systems to provide a single interface and complete control over your operations.
BizBloqs has features like kitting, EDI and the perfect timing of printing shipping labels amongst many other capabilities.
Manage the flow of materials through production and warehousing facilities with full traceability and get real time visibility of stock levels and locations. Transform your quality process to integrate with your inventory management, keeping perfect track of usuable stock and their quality records.
Identify and execute the most efficient way to stock work in process (WIP) and enjoy real-time access to key milestones in the delivery cycle time (unloaded, assembled, packaged, and ready to ship).
We provide the tools to manage the high SKU counts and complex picking requirements such as kitting, that are a key attribute of the Automotive industry.
BizBloqs allows Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers to compete effectively and forge collaborative links with fellow suppliers and valued customers to optimise operations.
Part numbers supersede each other and the old revision keeps getting picked
Superseded parts are blocked at pick and the valid revision is proposed in its place, so the wrong version never leaves the building
Serialised components cannot be traced back to the vehicle they went into
Serials captured at receipt and carried through every movement, giving a two-way trace between supplier batch and delivered assembly
Aftermarket orders and OEM line-feed compete for the same stock
Stock reserved by channel priority, so an aftermarket order can never consume the buffer protecting the production line
Kits and repair sets are assembled ad hoc and never reconcile
Kits built against a defined structure, consuming components and producing a countable finished item with its own stock record
Supplier deliveries arrive without usable advance notice
Advance shipping notices received electronically and reconciled against the physical receipt, with discrepancies logged automatically

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
