One industry, two very different days at work. A parts house lives at the counter and in the aisle: catalog, stock, prices. A garage lives in the bay: the car, the job, the invoice. SummitCode Agentic ERP has a playbook for each — this page helps you pick the right one in under a minute.
Each playbook below is written for its own floor. Open the one that matches where your customers pay you, then read it end to end — the depth lives there, not here.
For traders selling genuine, aftermarket, and used parts from a showroom, a warehouse, or both.
For garages, service centers, and body shops taking in insurance and cash work side by side.
Not automotive after all? Other UAE playbooks sit on the Industries hub: Construction, Food Distribution, and Manufacturing.
This page does not name clients, branch counts, or savings figures. Published operations profiles live on the Case Studies hub. The detailed automotive content is deliberately on the two playbooks, not repeated here.
Start from what earns your money. If customers pay you for parts — over a counter, on a trade account, or in an export shipment — read the auto spare parts playbook. If customers pay you for repairs, service, or bodywork, read the auto garages playbook. If you do both, start with the side that is busiest today; the other one plugs in later.
It means your day-to-day records — stock, customers, jobs, and invoices — live in one operating system first, and AI coworkers are added on top to watch for exceptions and chase follow-ups. The order matters: the coworkers are only useful once the records they read are trusted. They do not run the counter or diagnose the car. The staged path is on Agentic ERP.
Yes. A shared parts store can serve both the counter and the bay, and one customer record can carry both purchases and repairs. In practice, SummitCode scopes one side first so the team has one habit to learn at a time, then connects the second side to the same stock and finance.
Both sides of the industry issue VAT invoices, but the detail differs: a parts house deals with local versus re-export sales and landed cost, while a workshop deals with parts plus labour on one invoice and insurance paperwork. Each playbook covers its own case. The shared rule is that the invoice should come out of the same system that holds the stock or the job, so finance is not rebuilding tax at month end. See UAE Compliance. This is not tax advice.
A part you searched for today, or a car that is in the bay right now. SummitCode will say whether the catalog, the job card, or both come first — and how Agentic ERP stages from there.
