Tradepronamics vs. Garage Partner

To book a vehicle, select a standard service option, like a 30,000km inspection, or add any required parts and labor to your reservation. When the customer arrives, a simple button press connected to the booking will generate a job card, which can be printed along with the necessary legal documents for the customer to sign. As the customer prepares to pay for the service, a single press on the job card will create an invoice while simultaneously updating all relevant systems, including stock levels, accounts, service history, service reminders, and profit & loss reports. Moreover, automated SMS reminders for servicing will be dispatched without any need for manual input. The system also monitors mechanic productivity by comparing the hours logged on the job card to the hours billed. In addition, it offers detailed reports such as statements, GST details, balance sheets, and a range of business, sales, and financial analytics to facilitate informed decision-making. This efficient process not only improves operational productivity but also guarantees precise record-keeping for every vehicle service transaction, ultimately leading to enhanced customer satisfaction.

The implementation of serial numbers for products, coupled with advanced search capabilities, significantly improves organizational efficiency. Customers are given the choice to either accept or decline the services and products that appear on their invoices. Moreover, vehicles can be registered as temporary entries, which is especially useful for dealerships and walk-in customers who wish to avoid tracking. Technicians have the ability to clock in and out for each task, facilitating accurate time tracking for all labor-related efforts. The system also features the capability to send text messages directly to both pagers and mobile phones from Garage Partner Pro. Users can conveniently fax or email invoices and work authorizations right from the software interface. Additionally, PDF versions of invoices can be attached and sent via email within Garage Partner Pro, enhancing user convenience. The platform supports an unlimited array of predefined service requests and job descriptions, along with the ability to incorporate supplies into the invoicing process. There is a provision to apply a percentage fee on invoices for parts and labor, complete with visual aids through screenshots. Invoices can be temporarily held if required, offering flexibility in billing. The program generates estimates that can subsequently be converted back into invoices at any time, and it features a seamless archiving system that links these estimates to the customer’s profile for future reference. This capability is particularly beneficial for body shop estimates, as it allows for quick quotes. Furthermore, real-time tracking of vehicle progress is available for all cars currently being serviced, which ensures smooth operations and effective communication. This comprehensive system ultimately boosts both workflow efficiency and customer satisfaction, while also providing a more organized approach to handling service requests.
