Golf car dealer parts inventory
Why just store stocked items in your computer when you can store entire catalogs for all your vendors? Commander keeps entire price books on your computer for all your golf car vendors, with every price kept current as it changes using a web-based updating feature. A Cross Reference feature shows when an item can be substituted for an OEM part, with comparative pricing.
POS features
Quickly build and print quotes and invoices, even email them to customers. Barcode software is included to scan parts with speed and accuracy, and Cross Reference locates alternate part options in both invoices and work orders.

Internet parts price updating
Keeps prices current for all your golf car vendors via the internet. Don't see your vendor? We'll provide a utility to convert and load entire catalogs yourself, or convert them for you for a small fee.
EPC microfiche integration
If you're a Yamaha dealer, Commander connects to your ARI PartSmart EPC. Tag part numbers in your EPC and drop them directly to your parts invoice or service RO, with no retyping of part numbers.
Special ordering
Parts that must be special ordered are automatically transferred to a purchase order. Review the daily PO list and approve parts to order, moving them to your vendor's electronic purchase order with no re-typing. A min/max system also handles stock ordering.
- Effectively manages your purchase order system
- Electronically places orders with vendors
- Automatically increases on-hand quantity as parts are received on a PO
- Prints barcode labels for parts that are received
- Creates a list of customers who need to be called for special-ordered parts pickup
- Makes suggested stock orders based on min/max levels
Scanning and printing barcodes
Many parts already come pre-barcoded, making scanning a built-in POS feature. Commander scans barcodes or UPCs quickly and accurately, significantly reducing the time to create a quote, invoice, or work order. For items that need a barcode, Commander automatically prints labels as POs are received.
Repair orders
The Commander repair order program provides golf car dealers with an easy, fast, and effective way to service their cars. RO service history, parts special orders, and labor times by technician are all available and easy to use, with repairs broken down by individual job or task, making it easier for customers to understand and approve or decline suggested work.
No more messy handwritten ROs
The Commander RO eliminates unnecessary data entry. Easily print estimates and write repair orders containing all the pertinent information about the customer and the car being serviced. Commander interfaces to Yamaha, Honda iN, and other electronic microfiche, so you can create a pick list and transfer it directly onto a repair order without ever retyping a part number.
Repair order tools
- Creates and tracks repair estimates and parts orders by customer and by car
- Can assign several mechanics to an individual work order
- Create several labor rates for different repairs or mechanics
- “Duplicate” feature copies a previous RO for today's job with the same or similar repairs, a big time-saver
- Tracks warranty claims
Measure productivity
- Track the time a mechanic works on a job compared to what's actually invoiced
- Review status reports of all current ROs and estimates
- Keep mechanics busy by managing their service schedule
Improve workflow
- Use standard labor codes to quickly create accurate ROs
- Automatically orders parts not in stock by pushing non-stock items to the PO pad
- Email customer quotes and RO copies directly from Commander
- Integrates merchant credit card processing directly to your processor
- Search and locate parts used on any RO by number, partial number, description, UPC, vendor number, or alternate part number
- Attach multiple photos of any repaired car documenting damage or required service
- Generate profitability reports and variable reports
Special orders in a few clicks
When items need to be special ordered, create purchase orders with just a few clicks, since every part number you could potentially use is already stored in your system. When you “post” a repair order, required parts not in stock move to the PO Pad for ordering at the end of the day. Access to information about customers, cars, and parts lets your service techs work faster and focus back on service and repair.
Pricing and cross reference
Parts prices are electronically kept current for all your golf car vendors, with Cross Reference showing substitutable items and comparative pricing.
- Cross Reference links between Redhawk, Club Car, EZ-GO, and Yamaha vendors suggest alternate parts and comparative pricing
- Price file database contains price books for over 600 vendors across other verticals (marine, powersports, outdoor power equipment) as well as golf car
Interface to EPC (ARI PartSmart)
If you're a Yamaha, Briggs & Stratton, or Kawasaki dealer, using Commander and ARI PartSmart together permits “tag and drop.” Make a list of parts in PartSmart and electronically transfer it directly into a quote, invoice, or repair order, with no retyping of part numbers.
- Create a pick list to export to Commander
- Find all models/components where a part is used
- Search by part number, model number, part description, and year
- Display supplier notes and bulletins
- Print illustrations and lists of parts
Golf car inventory
Commander tracks golf car inventory by stock#, year, make, or model. New cars can be added as customer-owned, stocked, or sold. Cars can be sold as both new and used, with trades shown on the sales invoice. The true cost of each car sold is tracked and itemized, and net profitability on every sale is calculated and tracked.
Tracks reconditioning costs
If you buy, recondition, and sell used cars, Commander tracks all reconditioning costs and adds them to the cost of your trade-ins and reconditioned inventory, so you know exactly what you have in a reconditioned car before you offer it for sale. The same applies to accessorizing a new car: all added accessories get added to the cost of the car as part of the rigging process.
Costs tracked to every car
- Reconditioning costs
- Setup charges
- Options
- Added accessories
- Trade-ins
- Net profitability
Sales brochures
Commander can even print a handout sales brochure for any car, including photos.
Interface to QuickBooks
If you already have QuickBooks, keep using it for financial management but replace the QuickBooks inventory and invoicing functions with Commander. The QuickBooks Interface moves Commander transaction detail electronically to QuickBooks, with no manual posting of invoices, repair orders, or sales invoices.
Built for the golf car dealer
Commander has special features for parts, service, and sales designed specifically for the golf car dealer. Commander manages inventory best: POS, inventory, and RO billing.
