Description

Introducing the budget-friendly ABF Auto Body collision estimating software app, available for just $34 per month with a prepaid option and $195 annually thereafter. A free demo download allows you to explore its features before committing. ABF includes an industry-standard repair price matrix, making it straightforward to incorporate prices into your estimates. Users can also add extra charges such as those for aluminum repairs, glue pulling, oversized dents, and significant contour or depth issues. Additionally, it's crucial to include required R&I operations to ensure proper repair access. The software allows for the creation of distinct rates tailored for walk-in customers, fleet accounts, wholesale transactions, or insurance claims. When drafting your estimate, you can easily choose from a variety of pre-set profiles tailored to different scenarios, where selecting the desired rate profile automatically populates all relevant labor, materials, and sales tax in the final estimate. This comprehensive solution streamlines the estimating process, making it efficient for auto body professionals.

Description

AutoHound is a cloud-driven software solution designed for managing collision repair operations effectively. It streamlines the entire process of repair orders, starting from scheduling and vehicle check-in, continuing through production stages, parts procurement and delivery, quality assurance, payment processing, and detailed reporting. Users can seamlessly create estimates using platforms like CCC ONE, Mitchell, Audatex, or AdjustRite, and a Windows connector facilitates the import of these estimates and supplements directly into repair records. Team members can document the condition of vehicles with photographs and signatures, monitor tasks and obstacles via a production board, oversee parts management and returns, and provide customers with exclusive links for repair status updates and payment options. AutoHound is equipped with bilingual staff interfaces and customer communications in both English and Spanish, offers integration with QuickBooks Online, and connects to PPG PaintManager and PPG LINQ, all while ensuring mobile accessibility and multi-location management. Its versatility allows it to cater to independent collision shops, multi-store operations, fleet repair services, and heavy-duty repair procedures, making it a comprehensive tool for the industry. Ultimately, AutoHound enhances operational efficiency and customer engagement for collision repair businesses.
