If you manage an automotive repair shop, you will certainly be aware of the challenges that come along with it. I know what you are thinking, why do I need a workshop management software?
Here are 5 reasons why your workshop needs a workshop management software.
1. Automates your entire Mechanical Workshop
Its no secret that all businesses want to increase efficiency. Every workshop has many tasks to manage at any one time. Staying on top of everything is tough especially if you are doing it manually.
A workshop management software automates the everyday tasks of running a mechanical workshop. Workshops can automate stock management, send service & booking reminders to customers, manage and allocate jobs, send quotes, invoice and account with minimal to no human input.
The key benefit of a Workshop Management system is it centralises your workshops operations.
2. Increase workshop efficiency
Your main focus as an automotive mechanic is to service and repair cars. Often things run overtime for whatever reason. A Workshop Management Software gives you the ability to plan, track and manage different jobs at any one time.
For example, you can schedule jobs to individual mechanics, allocate times, provide live updates to customers, and easily updates schedules as necessary.
3. Reduce manual paperwork
A common misconception in the auto repair industry is that there is no way to avoid manual paperwork. All common paperwork such as ordering, stock management, quoting and invoice can be done electronically using a workshop management software.
4. Grow your business
Customer satisfaction is crucial for all workshops. A workshop management software helps you build your customer retention without needing to lift a finger.
Using a Workshop management software you can automate service and booking reminders to past customers. You can personalise the message based on your unique preference and schedule the certain point of time you would like it to be sent.
5. Integrated accounting
If you manage your workshop invoicing manually it’s easy to make a mistake. You may end up with the wrong amount for an invoice or even assign the invoice to the wrong job.
Workshop management software gives you the flexibility to manage all your invoicing in one central location. The software integrates to leading accounting software’s such as Xero and MYOB making your entire invoicing seamless.
