At Granlyn, we understand the importance of streamlined operations in automotive businesses. AIMS, a bar-code driven inventory management and ordering system, stands as a testament to our commitment to efficiency and reducing costs. Developed by a former parts manager specifically for body shops and parts departments, AIMS integrates into your current workflow, requiring no on-site software installation and minimal hardware setup.
With AIMS, managing your inventory becomes easy. It automates the allocation of products to technicians, departments, or specific jobs, ensuring accurate cost tracking per job, department, and technician. AIMS monitors your stock levels in real-time and automatically generates orders to replenish supplies to preset levels. This proactive approach guarantees that you always have the right products on hand when you need them, boosting operational efficiency and eliminating unnecessary expenses.
Granlyn's acknowledged expertise and experience along with our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction makes us the preferred choice. Whether you're involved in accident repair, vehicle refurbishment or new build, Granlyn has the knowledge and expertise to support your business every step of the way.
AIMS extends further than just maintaining stock levels – it provides you with detailed insights and transparent reporting to drive informed decision-making. AIMS provides accurate, detailed reports that show product usage, stock valuation, and even individual technician performance metrics. Additionally, new features such as bin locations and exportable reports in various formats (PDF, CSV, XML) further enhance stock management and enable integration with your existing bodyshop management systems. With Granlyn, you gain complete transparency on purchases and product usage, potentially saving your business over 20 percent on product costs while maximising profitability.
“We switched our paint and consumables supply to Granlyn Specialist Coatings earlier this year and we haven’t looked back. Our previous supplier was only delivering once a week, Granlyn offered a daily service backed up with an afternoon van, should we need it. After a recommendation from Ryan, I did some research and made the decision to move to baslac, a BASF brand. It has been a great decision for our business. We are now getting far more accurate colour matches using baslac’s 5-angled photo spectrometer, formula finder, and colour library. Even difficult whites & silvers are matched with ease. Granlyn’s same day deliveries, great products and approach to customer service sets them apart from the crowd.”

“We have been working with Granlyn for almost 25 years. When we switched to Glasurit paint from BASF at the recommendation of our very knowledgeable and highly regarded paint manager John Johnson in 2014, Granlyn was the UK distributor. We enjoy a very flexible, supportive business partnership and feel extremely valued as a customer. Both Granlyn and BASF listen to our challenges and problems such as cost downs and work to address them through technical investment and product innovation. Once Graham came on board, we felt even more supported and the service has been enhanced. Granlyn will go out of its way to help us and solve any supply issues that may have arisen through internal challenges. We also receive help with auditing the quality standards of our process. As a result, our warranty claims are now virtually at zero, and there is less downtime and interruption to our workflow, as we are reassured the product will be of consistent quality within the fine parameters we work. I can’t stress enough how successful this partnership with Granlyn and BASF is for our operation.”

“Since introducing Granlyn into two of our sites, Impact Repair Centres has benefited in many ways. The experience that Ryan and Graham bring is considerable, and Granyln’s technology has enhanced our business significantly. Since Ryan installed barcode scanning and introduced its stock control system into two of our sites, our average spend on consumables and paint has reduced by a considerable amount. Working collectively with Granlyn, we were able to modify our core stock list to speed up production and reduce our monthly costs at the same time. ”
