See every step

Follow every employee action at a granular level, across the application, to drill into questions and hold individuals accountable. Shop-Ware tracks every staff member’s activity on every repair order and every parts purchase with unmatched detail, to get answers and make management decisions.  

 

If any question arises about when or if a part is ordered, you can get the answer within seconds. For example, every time a staff member goes into the inventory database, selects a part and changes the quantities on hand, that detail gets logged into a report.  

 

Shop-Ware’s auto shop employee management records every action taken during the customer journey and clears away any doubt. Customers love getting quick answers to how close their car is to being ready for pickup, plus they see a full account of what happened during its time in the shop.
