From customer call to paid invoice. Automated.
AI guides the advisor through intake, generates the write-up, builds the estimate, sends the approval, and follows up automatically.
Advisor takes the call
Customer describes the issue. AI instantly surfaces the right clarifying questions to ask, specific to the complaint, vehicle, and mileage. The advisor collects the details that actually matter.
Tech write-up generated automaticallyAutomatic
Once answers are captured, AI generates a complete, professional tech write-up. The technician gets full context before they touch the vehicle. No vague "check engine light" tickets.
Estimate built from findingsAutomatic
When the tech submits findings, AI reads them and adds labor and parts to the estimate with book-time hours and prices. The estimate is ready before the advisor even looks.
Approval email sent to customerAutomatic
Move the RO to pending approval and the customer gets an email with a link to approve or decline each line item. They reply in seconds. No phone tag.
The whole flow from intake to approval in minutes, not hours.
