Spending Smart in Uncertain Times

When the economy looks less than certain, the gut instinct of many business owners is to immediately halt all capital expenditures. This instinct is particularly strong in the paintless dent removal industry. While a closer scrutiny of expenses in your PDR business is smart, what's even smarter is learning how to recognize which things (more advertising, PDR software, new tools) will have an immediate positive effect on your paintless dent repair business.

Dealership Software: Separating the Facts from the Fads

The automotive business is changing for both new car dealers and used car dealers alike. Margins are shrinking and there is an emphasis on increased efficiency, not just to maintain profits, but to survive. In recent years many firms have begun to market dealer software. But the real question for most business managers is: “How do you determine whether automotive dealer software will deliver on its promises?”

Reconditioning Companies

Recondition Your Operations With Smart Technology

Is your reconditioning business drowning in paperwork? Are you spending too much time and money managing customer documents? Is paperwork slowing down both your profitability and your business growth?

Simply stated, if you are still using pen and pad to record and track the vehicles you are reconditioning, your operations are outdated. Now there is a solution to the paperwork problem of reconditioning operations.

AutoMobile Technologies (AMT) has developed ReconPro™ specifically for auto reconditioning companies. Through the use of mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs running Window Mobile, bar code scanners, handheld computers, and Web-based software, the application allows recon business owners to identify, estimate, book, and bill reconditioning work.

ReconPro, which integrates with QuickBooks and other accounting software, tracks every vehicle by VIN and creates customized reports that allow the recon company to quickly see revenue, profit, and sales.

The software supports a variety of reconditioning services, including paintless dent repair, paint touchup, interior repair, wheel and windshield repair, and auto detailing. Each recommended service is entered on a cell phone or handheld computer by the service estimator, and a service estimate is calculated and printed at the push of a button.

ReconPro also provides an “executive dashboard” that can be viewed by authorized personnel from any PC with Internet access. Easy-to-read customized charts and reports summarize critical business data for reconditioning companies. This includes a summary of estimates, work orders, revenue, productivity, and other information central to the profitability of a recon company.
