Speed Up Parts Department Tasks With Our Mobile App
Garages and service centres that are still carrying out essential tasks in the parts department with a pen and paper could be missing out on increasing their profits with the time saved from digitising the same jobs with a mobile app.
Using traditional methods to complete workshop tasks can be time-consuming for staff who are busy scribbling down key information onto loose pieces of paper throughout the day, such as stock check details, before manually typing everything into a dealer management system later in their shift.
Not only does running back and forth between a computer make all of your jobs take longer than necessary, but it also creates a risk of inaccurate information being typed into your DMS, which can stem from ineligible handwriting or simply confusion when returning to notes that were written down hours earlier.
Many businesses in the automotive industry are now taking advantage of using mobile apps that are integrated with their dealer management system, allowing data to be recorded in their DMS remotely to speed up processes while eliminating the risk of handwritten errors entering their garage software.
With a DMS-integrated app, your stock checks in the parts department can now take a fraction of the time, thanks to staff having the ability to input item quantities into your dealer management system from a tablet or mobile phone while the stock is physically in front of them.
This faster method also reduces the possibility of staff miscalculating or mixing up their numbers because each part can now be checked and recorded in your DMS remotely before moving onto the next item, creating a much more efficient process.
Adding new parts stock into your dealer management system can also be performed from an integrated mobile app, making the items instantly available for sale over the counter or ready for assigning to a job in the service department within moments of arriving onsite.
The camera on your handheld device can work with a DMS-integrated mobile app too, enabling you to scan product and location barcodes to completely avoid having to enter long sequences of numbers and letters into your phone or tablet, which can easily lead to typing errors appearing in your automotive software.
Dragon2000’s Stocklister mobile app has been designed exclusively for your parts department to improve its efficiencies and streamline daily processes, with all of the above features available that allow you to create, check and receive stock on-the-go and feed information directly into the DragonDMS dealer management system from any location.
If you sell parts and accessories on your Dragon2000 dealer website, then you can also benefit from having your ecommerce store update in real time when you’ve scanned an item using the Stocklister mobile app. This means online customers will always be presented with accurate item quantities on your website’s product pages, which can reduce the risk of lost online sales and even entice customers to purchase more.
