Technology is ever-improving while vehicles have become more complex. Most newer models have multiple computer systems to help the car run smoothly. When these act up, people take their car to you to have it fixed. Your technicians are qualified to handle the job, but that doesn’t mean that everything is efficiently done. Auto shop management software can help you make the repair shop run smoothly regardless of who is on staff that day.
Save Time/Space
When you have appropriate management software, you can automate many of the daily shop needs. You can keep track of inventory and even set-up the software to order parts for you or remind the front office to do so. You can also automate the estimation needs; an estimate is generated within a few moments because all the prices and labor costs are already in the system.
It can also save time because all the information is in one central location, though you can access the information on other devices, such as laptops, tablets, and more. You can schedule appointments, the technicians can get manuals and look up parts, and you can also manage payroll and accounting needs from the same software.
Measure Performance
You can’t have a successful business if you can’t determine what’s going right or what has improved over time. Therefore, you need something that helps you track performance, both of the staff and the company as a whole. You can check sales, profits, the productivity of the staff, parts orders, and so much more. You can also look at past reports to help you forecast for future needs. For example, if you check last year’s report for next month, you may see that you had all staff members working on the weekend and may want to do that again so that you’re prepared for an influx of customers.
