Royal 4 ERP knows the automotive space through decades of working with our customers and providing specific vertical functionality.
Automotive Parts Manufacturing & Distribution
- Just-in-time, in-sequence delivery of parts directly aligned to the production build schedule
- Supports complex automotive components, including doors, seats, glass, bumpers, axles, and engines
- Reduces line-side congestion and excess inventory by delivering only what’s needed, when it’s needed
- Proven in long-term production environments, with customers successfully using sequencing for over 14 years
The essence of automotive sequencing is for suppliers and 3PLs to deliver parts to the manufacturers just-in-time, and in the proper build sequence, as requested by their customers. WISE Sequencing covers several components like doors, quarter panels, overhead systems, seats, wheels, glass, bumpers, exhaust systems, axles, and even engines. Sequencing optimizes production efficiency while also reducing waste and parts storage space and has been used by one of our largest customers for 14 years effectively.
Broadcasting supports high-frequency, tote-based deliveries that automatically route components to the correct work center multiple times per day. This granular approach improves sub-assembly flow, reduces line-side inventory, and keeps production moving without disruption.
A major automotive supplier using this model reduced assembly time by over eight minutes per vehicle — a measurable impact on throughput and cost per unit.
Our ERP manages the full lifecycle of production work orders—from material requirements through completion. With complete visibility into components, sub-assemblies, and task status, operations teams stay aligned and production stays on schedule.
- Multi-level indented BOMs with unlimited sub-assemblies
- Automatic work order generation from sales or forecast demand
- Real-time tracking of materials, labor, and progress
- Configurable workflows to fit your manufacturing process
- Replace disconnected spreadsheets with a single source of truth
MRP ensures the right materials are available at the right time to meet production demand. By aligning inventory, purchasing, and manufacturing schedules, the system calculates what is needed, when it is needed, and in what quantity.
- Plans material requirements based on real demand and forecasts
- Prevents shortages and excess inventory
- Generates purchase and production recommendations automatically
- Keeps production schedules aligned with supply availability
MRP gives operations teams the visibility and control needed to keep production running without disruption.
Our forecasting tools analyze historical demand and current sales trends to project future requirements. This allows operations teams to plan production, balance capacity, and align inventory with expected demand.
- Data-driven demand projections
- Improved production scheduling accuracy
- Smarter purchasing decisions
- Lower risk of excess or obsolete inventory
Capacity planning ensures your operation has the resources required to meet current and projected demand. By analyzing production workloads, labor availability, and equipment capacity, the system helps you prevent bottlenecks and keep schedules on track.
- Aligns production demand with available labor and equipment
- Identifies constraints before they disrupt schedules
- Supports scenario planning for demand increases
- Improves throughput without overextending resources
Capacity planning gives operations leaders the visibility needed to balance workload, protect delivery commitments, and avoid costly delays.
Vendor control ensures materials arrive on time, in the correct quantities, and to specification—supporting uninterrupted production.
- Tracks vendor performance with measurable rating criteria
- Monitors on-time delivery and order accuracy
- Manages approved substitutions and material alternatives
- Supports item aliases and cross-references for procurement flexibility
With stronger vendor oversight, operations teams reduce delays, improve material reliability, and protect production schedules.
