If your auto service management still relies on manual data entry, you probably already know how quickly this approach can turn into a real headache. When important information is scattered across different places, daily decision-making slows down, and processes become chaotic. Job planning takes too much time, slows business growth, and reduces profitability. To achieve a clear, real-time operating system, it is worth integrating all processes into one reliable platform with Artwin.
No real-time data
Manually filled tables or fragmented systems are static – they require updating, and every change may only be visible in a local copy. This means that if one employee enters information in the morning, another in the afternoon might already be working with outdated data. Consequences? Inaccurate order deadlines, incorrect stock balances, and even lost customers. We help update information instantly, so decisions are always made based on accurate, up-to-date data.
Chaos in work planning
When primitive tools are used for planning, the entire workshop organization becomes complex and inefficient. There is no clear visualization or automatic notification if one mechanic is overloaded while another has free time. We provide a full occupancy calendar on one screen, allowing tasks to be distributed evenly and ensuring each job starts and finishes on time. This prevents chaos and ensures consistent customer service.
Difficult to track inventory
Even neatly maintained inventory spreadsheets cannot always guarantee that filters, brake pads, or other essential parts will not run out after a few orders. Such tools also won’t notify if shipments are delayed or if other problems arise. Our system allows you to see warehouse stock in real time, automatically deduct used materials, and instantly generate purchase suggestions when shortages occur. This way, disruptions are avoided, and unexpected expenses are minimized.
Unmanageable document flow
Estimates, invoices, orders, insurance, and other important documents are often stored in separate files and in different locations. When a document needs to be found urgently, you may have to search through dozens of folders. We eliminate this chaos by assigning documents directly to specific orders and clients. As a result, finding the required information takes only a few seconds, and there’s no need to worry about accidental deletion or lost versions.
Extremely slow insurance claim process
Copying, pasting, and manually entering estimates, customer data, and work lists increases the risk of errors and wastes valuable time. Over time, the need arises to work with specialized software. We have implemented a unique integration in the Baltics – Audatex, which allows immediate transfer of estimate information: vehicle data, customer details, work hours, and parts.
Hard to see exact profitability
When using basic spreadsheets, profitability analysis requires separate formulas, charts, and constant updates. The result is often outdated and does not reflect the real situation. Our system automatically generates reports showing which jobs or services are most profitable and where losses occur.
Insurance estimate import
Manually handling insurance estimates is complex – each value must be entered manually, carefully checked to avoid mistakes. This routine takes a lot of valuable time and requires constant attention to detail. Audatex integration enables estimates to be imported directly into the system, making the process faster, smoother, and more reliable, ensuring data accuracy from start to finish.
Risk of data loss
When auto service data is stored in simple spreadsheets or local files, there is a higher risk of losing it – accidentally deleting, overwriting, or misplacing files. A single wrong click can erase a week’s worth of important work. To prevent this, we automatically create backups and store data in the cloud. This ensures your information remains safe not only from mistakes but also from hardware failures.
Information scattered across different places
When data is stored in separate files or different programs, it’s common to have inventory in one, customer lists in another, schedules in a third, and so on. Each such “jumping” between tools wastes time, increases the risk of errors, and is inconvenient – especially when quick information retrieval is needed. We provide a complete workshop view on one screen: from occupancy calendars and inventory to documents and financial indicators.
No growth opportunities
Let’s admit it: traditional manual tools may work, but their capabilities are limited. As the number of clients grows, files become slow and difficult to manage. The increasing volume of manual work also raises the risk of mistakes. To improve, it is essential to use modern and reliable integrations that simplify daily tasks, accelerate insurance estimate processing, and reduce manual data entry.
Why can your auto service do better?
When processes are automated and all systems are connected into one integrated platform, errors are significantly reduced, and decisions are made faster. This allows you to handle more orders in the same time, optimize resources, and minimize downtime. Integrations with Audatex, Rivile, Robolabs, or LocTracker simplify daily operations – from importing insurance estimates and managing accounting to tracking vehicles. They save time, reduce errors, and ensure smoother processes, contributing to more efficient business management.
