for dent repair, body shops and every workshop that fixes cars.
More cars booked.
Less time on paperwork.
Agents and software that answer every enquiry and book the car in, record the damage and quote it, and track each car from the yard to the keys. We built the paperwork side for paintless dent repair; we set it up for any workshop.
Where the week goes. After the hail.
The work that fills a week in a dent repair shop after a storm, around the part only the technicians can do.
an invented week, for illustration.
Monday
The yard is full after Friday’s hail. Every car has to be booked in before work can start.
Tuesday
Damage is drawn on paper, panel by panel, and photographed for the insurer.
Wednesday
Customers call to ask where their car is. Someone walks the yard to find out.
Thursday
Quotes are checked against the paper drawings, and the hours are added up by hand.
Friday
Repaired cars wait for their paperwork before the keys can go back.
Hail on Friday. A full yard by Monday.
We built the paperwork side of paintless dent repair, where every car needs the same forms and every customer wants to know where theirs is.
Every dent, on its own panel.
Technicians marked the damage on a map of the car, the way they already drew it on paper.
The map became a job card.
Hours per panel came from the map, with one code for the car. Anything unclear went to a person.
The car moved. The card kept up.
Each station scanned the code, so everyone could see where the car was and what came next.
The planner had the last word.
The system kept the paperwork moving. People decided what happened to each car.
