Garage reports over £18k profit generation using innovative web booking system

13th February 2018 Garage reports over £18k profit generation using innovative web booking system

TechMan is set to giveaway a free 12-month subscription of its industry-leading Garage Management System in an iTechMan, the garage management system built by an independent garage, say it’s rolling out a new ‘web booking’ system after successfully integrating it for a number of garages in recent months.

One garage piloting the system saw profits generated from invoiced web bookings reach £18,877 during the seven month period up to January 2018, a run rate of over £30,000 per year.

Once enabled, it works by generating a simple copy-and-paste code script, which the garage then adds to its website to enable web bookings.

After this, motorists clicking the ‘Book Now’ button on the garage website are simply prompted to input their vehicle registration, before going on to select a date and time for their visit and providing key details (name, email and contact telephone number) to complete the booking process.

The system has proved successful in capturing more work than traditional enquiry emails or ‘booking request’ forms and in reducing workload burden too.

“We’ve seen a lot of business being generated by garages outside of business hours,” said Leo Freebairn, TechMan’s national sales manager.

“Drivers like the certainty of being able to make a solid confirmed booking at their convenience.”
