Written by Ryan Winter | Oct 3, 2022 4:59:53 PM

What would your dealership look like if the technicians in your service department each had two extra hours of productive time each day with the right mobile dealership software? How would things be different on your sales team if they could use their phones or tablets to conduct simpler business?

If you believe that would save your dealership both time and money, then consider the EverLogic Mobile App.

The list below will help you determine how your dealership can grow in new ways by going mobile with EverLogic. The app is designed for any RV, trailer, or automotive dealership with a service department or vehicle sales team that has a desire to increase profits through efficiency.

1. The integrated time clock will keep your service team accountable

Accountability has gotten a bad rap because we often associate it with negative outcomes. However, the truth is that accountability is how an effective team stays that way. And a byproduct of effectiveness in your service department is efficiency.

The EverLogic Mobile App keeps accountability front and center by making it simple for service technicians to start and stop a time clock on specific service jobs in a repair order. Service techs can easily see their hours worked last week, hours worked this week, and last completed repair order with start and end times.

2. Add photos to jobs from mobile devices to save time

Second, service technicians can take a photo with their tablet or smartphone of choice, open the EverLogic Mobile App and add photos to jobs in two taps. This saves time by eliminating walks across a service department to upload photos to a desktop computer.

Any photos taken with the EverLogic Mobile App will automatically appear in the job information in EverLogic Core Desktop for service managers or other users to see.

3. Service techs only see assigned service jobs to minimize confusion

When using the EverLogic Mobile App, service technicians will only see jobs assigned to them. Also, for dealerships with service department managers or service writers who assign jobs, this feature provides them with the confidence they need to keep pressing forward with bringing on new work while their service team stays on task.

Additionally, technicians have clarity and confidence while they knock out jobs assigned specifically to them.

4. Technicians can add new jobs with ease instead of walking to a PC

There is rarely a repair order that starts with one job and doesn’t turn into more jobs.

To accommodate the need to add new jobs to a repair order, the EverLogic Mobile App gives technicians on-the-spot capability to add new jobs to repair orders with the problem, cause and solution fields. This also gives service managers or service writers the info they need within EverLogic Core Desktop to contact customers and get approval for the new job.

5. See available parts and add them to jobs in less than 10 seconds

Next, adding parts to jobs is simple in the EverLogic Mobile App. In just a few taps, technicians can search for parts, see a list of parts that meet broad or specific search criteria, see the total on hand and add to the job.

Within the service job view, techs can see all of the parts they’ve added including part number, description, bin location, quantity,and UPC for easy location of the physical part. Furthermore, any part added to a job through the mobile app will update the master inventory count across your business, including multiple locations.
