Automobile ERP Modules Explained in Detail (SEO-Optimised for India)

1. Production Planning & Auto Component Manufacturing Control

Indian automotive manufacturers deal with complex routing, multi-level BOMs, machine dependency, and fluctuating orders. Business Central supports MRP, capacity planning, production scheduling, and shop floor tracking. It helps Indian automotive factories meet strict quality deadlines and maintain consistent production flow.

2. BOM (Bill of Materials) & Engineering Change Management

Automobile manufacturing requires accurate BOM structures for assemblies, sub-assemblies, parts, and kits. Business Central supports multi-level BOMs, version control, engineering change orders (ECO), substitute materials, and component-level cost roll-up. This is crucial for automotive component suppliers in India who must meet OEM quality and traceability requirements.

3. Spare Parts Inventory & Multi-Warehouse Management

Auto parts inventory is one of the biggest challenges for Indian distributors and service networks. Business Central enables batch/lot/serial tracking, reorder levels, multi-godown operations, spare parts bins, ageing analysis, and FEFO/FIFO. This helps reduce dead stock, prevent shortages, and improve profitability across Indian automotive spare parts markets.

4. Procurement & Vendor Supply Chain Management

Indian automobile companies rely heavily on vendor performance and timely raw material delivery. Business Central automates purchase requisitions, rate contracts, vendor scorecards, MRP-based purchasing, and GST-ready procurement. This ensures smoother inbound supply chain operations and reduced production delays.

5. Sales, Dealership & Distribution Management

Automotive companies need efficient handling of customer orders, dealer demand, pricing, discounts, and stock allocation. Business Central supports dealer management workflows, vehicle order processing, margin tracking, multi-location distribution, and delivery planning. Ideal for OEMs, distributor networks, and dealership chains in India.

6. Service, Workshop & Warranty Management

Service revenue is a major profit centre for Indian dealerships and auto workshops. Business Central supports job card management, labour costing, service scheduling, warranty claims, AMC tracking, and service history management. It helps reduce servicing delays and ensures accurate parts consumption during repairs.

7. Equipment, Machinery & Tooling Maintenance

Automotive manufacturing units rely on CNC machines, dies, moulds, robotics, and assembly lines. Business Central supports preventive maintenance, calibration, breakdown logs, AMC schedules, and asset lifecycle tracking. This ensures maximum uptime for plant machinery across Indian factories.

8. Logistics, Transport & TMS Integration

Automotive distribution requires efficient transport planning, route optimisation, freight tracking, and delivery scheduling. Business Central integrates with TMS systems to streamline outbound logistics, reduce transportation cost, and improve delivery accuracy for Indian OEMs and distributors.

9. Finance, Accounting & GST Compliance

Auto companies operate multiple branches and warehouses across states. Business Central provides multi-branch accounting, vehicle-wise costing, GST compliance, e-invoicing, e-way bill management, cash flow forecasting, and financial statements — all aligned with Indian taxation rules.

10. Reporting, MIS & Power BI Dashboards

Business Central provides real-time MIS reports for production output, spare parts movement, dealer performance, warranty trends, profitability, cost variance, customer orders, and forecasts. Power BI dashboards give automotive leaders in India complete visibility into operations.
