Serving California's San Fernando Valley, Keyes European opened in 1992 and moved into its current facilities in 1997. As the leading Mercedes Benz dealer in its area, the parts department of Keyes European is a critical component of the organization. Business has boomed over the years, and the Keyes parts department has struggled to keep enough parts on hand to provide timely repairs for its customers. | |

The Keyes European parts department needed a way to increase its inventory so technicians could continue to provide customers with timely service. | |

In looking for a new storage solution for auto parts, Keyes European Service Manager Marc Aronson entertained bids from both Lista and a competitor.
"The Lista product was, in my opinion, a much better product than the competitor's," Aronson recalls. "With Lista everything is adjustable, and the sales team did an excellent job designing a solution that can deal with our heaviest parts, like brake rotors."
Keyes European installed a Lista Storage Wall® System to accommodate the growing inventory of parts used by the service technicians. Integral to the solution are the roll-out trays. The 440 lb. capacity is ample for holding brake rotors and other heavy parts. | |

Before installing the Lista storage solution, the Keyes European parts department had $350,000 of parts in inventory. Today, the dealership stores $1.4 million in Mercedes Benz parts.
"Once the Lista storage solution was in place, I could stock a whole lot more parts than before," said Aronson. "Before Lista, we had a storage problem. With Lista we were able to increase our inventory four-fold, helping us better serve our customers. That's a storage solution."
