Unless you knew their business plan P & L, you're just guessing whether a business is profitable. The yard with the parts helpers sounds like the right way to run a tight ship.

The yard with the helpers creates a safer, orderly, and much more of a profitable inventory control environment. Less cowboyed and damaged collateral parts too.

No right or wrong here, just go to what you're comfortable with.
