Heavy-duty truck parts POS with cores and fleet accounts.

AxleTap started at a heavy-duty parts counter. Core charges and tire and battery fees land on the ticket on their own, and fleets buy on account with their limits checked at the sale.

A core charge, from the counter to the credit.

A core is money you are holding, not a sale. AxleTap carries the charge from the invoice through the return and back out as a credit, so nobody at the counter is working it out on paper.

Four of these lines, the counter never typed

Tire fees, battery fees and both core charges come from the items themselves. They land on the ticket in the right place, taxed the way your state taxes them, and they stay off sales for resale.

Fleet units by VIN

Keep each fleet's trucks on file by VIN and see what a given unit has cost.

Cross-references and supersessions

Part, UPC, manufacturer and cross-reference numbers on the item all find it, and a superseded number leads to its replacement.

Fleet charge accounts

Credit limits and holds checked at the sale, PO numbers when a fleet requires them, and statements by email.

Deliveries to shops

Routes for your drivers, route sheets with map links, and proof of delivery with a signature and a photo.

Questions from heavy-duty parts counters

Can a parts POS track core charges and core returns?

Yes. In AxleTap, core charges are added from the item, a core brought back on the same ticket lowers the taxable amount, and a later core return credits the charge and the tax collected on it. The outstanding core deposits report shows what's still out.

How do I know which cores are still out?

The outstanding core deposits report lists every core charged and not yet returned, by customer and by part, so you can chase the ones worth chasing.

Can I track fleet trucks by VIN?

Yes. Each fleet account can keep its units on file by VIN, and AxleTap reports spend by unit.

Does AxleTap add tire and battery fees automatically?

Yes. Items carry their fee, so the per-tire or per-battery fee is added to the ticket on its own line and left off sales for resale.

Does AxleTap integrate with QuickBooks?

Yes. AxleTap keeps its own general ledger, and it can also send your sales, payments and bills to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.
