Description

Implementing serial numbers for products with robust search functionality enhances organization. Customers have the option to accept or decline services and products listed on their invoices. Additionally, vehicles can be logged as temporary, which is particularly beneficial for dealership inventory and walk-in clients who prefer not to have tracking. Technicians are able to clock in and out for each task, allowing for precise time tracking on all labor activities. The system includes the functionality to send text messages to both pagers and mobile devices directly from Garage Partner Pro. Users can also easily fax or email invoices and work authorizations straight from the software. PDF files of invoices can be attached and sent via email within Garage Partner Pro for added convenience. The platform allows for an unlimited number of predefined service requests and job descriptions, as well as the option to include supplies in the invoicing process. There is a feature to apply a percentage charge on invoices for parts and labor, with visual aids provided through screenshots. Invoices can be temporarily placed on hold if necessary. The program also generates estimates that can be converted back to invoices at any point, with a seamless archiving system that attaches these estimates to the customer’s record for easy access later. This functionality is particularly advantageous for body shop estimates and also provides quick quotes. Furthermore, real-time progress tracking is available for all vehicles currently in the shop, ensuring streamlined operations and communication. This comprehensive system ultimately enhances workflow efficiency and customer satisfaction.
