Powerful Auto Repair Software Scheduling: Use It or Lose It

Prioritize and Streamline Your Auto Repair Software Scheduling with Workflow Solutions 360°

As a dealer, you’re a trusted member of your community. Your name and reputation carry real weight and can inspire customer loyalty as well as attract new customers. So, you want to streamline auto repair service experiences so they’re as smooth, transparent, and positive as possible. To be profitable, you need to make sure every Fixed Ops hour is filled. Not surprisingly, filling available service hours also creates better customer satisfaction and higher CSI. Workflow 360° is the industry leader in accomplishing these goals as a partner with your dealer management system (DMS).

Bananas, Billable Hours, and Auto Repair Software

Billable hours have a lot in common with ripe bananas. How so? Once a banana is ripe, the chance to enjoy that deliciousness is small, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. Likewise, that window of opportunity to make a work hour productive and profitable is just an hour, and once missed, you can’t get it back. Unlike a cheap banana, unfilled time in a service department hurts your bottom-line big time. Workflow 360° enables efficiency, transparency and live prioritization with its auto repair software. A repair requires seamless communication and collaboration between multiple people in the service department to keep your service bays loaded, technician efficiency over 125%, and customers satisfied. 

Most dealerships don’t lack demand to fill their time; they lack proficient workflows to scale their throughput. When there are hiccups in the RO routing process, it’s generally caused by a lack of communication, breakdown of a standard process, an upsold repair, or delays in parts and customer approvals. Fortunately, Workflow 360° can help you turn these common service challenges into customer satisfaction and profit.
