Case Study: Automotive Art achieves scalable global expansion and streamlined operations with Magstar Inc

Interview with Automotive Art Executives on Tackling the Biggest Challenges of Global Expansion

Automotive Art, one of the Caribbean’s largest car-enhancement retailers (founded 1990, trading in 65+ countries with 18 franchise stores across nine markets), faced the challenge of managing multi-country franchises with different taxes, currencies, languages and uneven technology as it planned aggressive expansion into the U.S. and Canada. To standardize operations across wholesale, manufacturing, retail and franchise channels, Automotive Art adopted Magstar Inc’s all‑in‑one retail and warehouse management solution.

Magstar Inc consolidated the company’s disparate systems into a single platform with automated overnight replenishment and purchase‑order generation, improved reporting, and an upgraded warehouse management module now being rolled out. The implementation delivered 24/7 support (issues often fixed within minutes), faster daily workflows with pick lists and accurate stock visibility on arrival, and measurable efficiency gains that make scaling into North America feasible — enabling the team to accomplish a lot more in a lot less time.
