What we see in automotive & body shops businesses
Surrey has one of the biggest concentrations of auto dealers, repair shops and collision centres in BC, from King George Boulevard dealerships to independent shops in Newton and Bridgeview. We know these shops run on tight cycle times.
Estimating and shop systems down
When estimating or the shop management system is offline, jobs stall.
Yard and lot security
Vehicles, parts and tools need camera coverage day and night.
Customers cannot see what techs see
Handwritten notes do not sell needed repairs.
Parts tracking by phone call
Time lost chasing supplier ETAs.
