Description

Your employees will spend less time searching for tickets or calling customers, and have more time to do the actual job. This improves your workflow and increases the number of screens or lawnmowers you can repair. Imagine being able do more repairs with fewer employees. Your store's services and parts are laid out like a modern point-of-sale system. Service techs can simply click (or tap) on the services and parts to add them into the order. Everything is already pre-configured. You don't have to enter make and model. All that work is done automatically by us. Automated email means fewer phone calls and quicker communication. The customer is notified by email when the order has been processed. One of our customers called to tell us that their best tech had just died. To make more money, the tech switched to the automotive industry, where they pay based upon performance. STIHL recommends that technicians be tracked in efficiency and compensated based on how they perform.
