Efficiency is everything when running a repair shop. These factors align with that mindset.

How shops benefit from management software

We now understand what shop owners look for in shop management software. But why are they seeking out the support of this technology in the first place?

Benchmark survey data provides answers. Nearly three out of four respondents said they want to save time and increase revenue using shop management software.

Independent Hobson research confirms these benefits. The report found that AutoLeap helps its customers decrease time on estimates and invoices by 60%. It also found that AutoLeap customers decreased lost revenue due to no-show appointments by 30%.
