Communication

Help your shop become more productive, streamlined, and profitable and assist your customers in staying informed and planning their day better.

Communication

THE DRIVING FORCE

Communication is the driving force that fuels your workflow and the domino effect of benefits that follows.  As communication gaps and delays diminish, wasted rack time is reduced, and your shop becomes more productive, streamlined, and profitable.

  • Customers stay informed throughout the repair process, from check-in to ready, and all the steps in between.
  • Proactive communication reduces unnecessary inbound phone calls.  Utilize your service writers more effectively.
  • No longer use personal cell phones to communicate with your customers.
  • Engage in two-way text conversations, which are archived with time/date stamps for future reference. Send pictures and PDFs as needed.
  • A single tap or click to send completed DVI or QC reports to your customers.

Text Manager

MANAGE TEXT COMMUNICATION IN ONE PLACE

Text Manager gives users one central location to view and manage all customer text communication.

  • Inbound texts appear in the manager, eliminating the need to navigate back to a customer’s profile to continue a conversation occurring outside of an active ticket.
  • Filter which type of messages you want to see, whether it be just active clients, sent messages, or received messages.
  • Includes direct links to client profiles, vehicles, and the text-to-pay feature.
  • Send predefined outbound text messages as well as group messages.
  • Includes predictive text recognition to expedite communication.
  • See basic customer information.
    • Turn on/off text messages and emails.
    • Turn on/off follow-up messages.
    • See the vehicles associated with the customer’s account.
    • See what messages are scheduled to go out for that customer.

“The texting update is substantially easing stress on our staff by providing a clear and concise method to communicate with our clients. No more struggling to locate the client and send a message. No more starting a new “job” to accept a payment for a client who isn’t on site. Easily the most effective texting application out there!”
– Autoflow customer Lucas Underwood, owner of L&N Performance Auto Repair – Blowing Rock, NC
