Jobs are immediately allocated to technicians on arrival.
TechView tablets are then used by all technicians to provide condition reports back to front of house where customer authorisation is needed.
David highlights key capabilities within TechView, reserving particular praise for the video system, which he says is used to quickly walk-round and record real-time information like tyre tread depths, so work that’s needed can get priced and agreed almost as soon as the car is on the ramp.
David identifies the capability to upload service sheets as a big benefit too.
These are worked through systematically every time using a simple traffic light system.
David describes the support received from the Northampton-based business as ‘second to none’ whilst openly describing the challenges moving to TechMan ‘in real time during one of our busiest periods’.
