Take the "Busy Work" Out of your Service Advisor's Day  

Going through lists and pages of any shop management software to find information is busy work. The work in progress screen is too generic and list views too hard to decipher to quickly find something specific. Replacing your Work In Progress (WIP) screen by much easier to read and manage screens saves tons of time.

Introducing the Workflow View to identify vehicles in their workflow steps. Wanting to know what each tech is working on and how many unfinished billed hours are left? Switch to the Technician Dispatch Screen. At the same time all needed assignments to the techs are sent to the tech's tablet and can be worked on immediately. No paper in tech's hands, no hollering back and forth between front office and back shop, no paper rack on the wall, no flipping through menus in the SMS. All information is at the service advisor's and technician's fingertips.

May Member of the Month: Paul Grech

I became involved in automotive repair because I watched my dad work on his cars from the age of four and when I was 16 my dad gave me a 1936 Ford truck. I was able to get a license at 15, but I wasn't able to keep it very long, because I had five tickets before I had a license, so I lost my license for six months. During that time without a license, I was able to put an Oldsmobile motor, a Caddie box and a nine inch Ford rear end in the '36, so it was a very dependable hot rod and I still have it.
