Project Management Software for Auto Body & Collision Repair Shops

Supplement management workflows with photo documentation tools, line-item comparison against initial estimates, and electronic submission to insurance portals for faster approval.. Software for planning projects, assigning tasks, tracking deadlines, and collaborating with your team.

Challenges Auto Body Repair Businesses Face

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most auto body repair businesses deal with these every day.

Insurance estimate supplements where the initial adjuster estimate rarely covers the full repair cost, and shops must document, photograph, and submit supplement requests that take days to approve.

Production scheduling complexity where each vehicle moves through body work, paint prep, paint booth, reassembly, and detail in sequence, and bottlenecks at any stage ripple through the entire shop.

Parts procurement delays where OEM parts have long lead times, aftermarket quality varies, and used parts must be inspected, creating uncertainty in repair completion timelines.

Customer communication expectations where vehicle owners call daily for status updates, insurance companies demand milestone reporting, and rental car costs accumulate when repairs run late.

Technician productivity tracking where flat-rate pay systems require accurate job time recording, and disputes over labor hours affect both technician income and shop profitability.
