Repair Orders

 

The Commander RO program gives you precise control over key information: R.O. service history, parts special orders, labor times by technician and even a breakdown by Task for the various Jobs contained in your RO.   Commander gives you easy access to all this information when you need it.  The result is a more profitable and efficient service department.

Create Precise Powersports Repair Orders

  • Create and track estimates of repairs and orders.
  • Assign several mechanics to a single job
  • Create multiple labor rates for various repairs or technicians.
  • Has “Duplicate RO” function to copy that prior long, detailed RO assign it to today’s job for a customer who is doing the same or similar repairs.  Big time-saver!
  • Generate and track warranty claims.
  • Print and submit reports to OEM for warranty information.

Measure Productivity

  • Track the exact time a mechanic works on a job then compare it to what is actually invoiced.
  • Review status reports of all current ROs and estimates.
  • Keep your mechanics busy by managing your service schedule.

Improve Workflow

  • Uses standard labor codes to quickly create accurate ROs.
  • Automatically orders parts not in stock by pushing non-stock items to the PO pad
  • Emails customer quotes and RO copies directly from Commander.
  • Integrates your merchant credit card processing directly in Commander.
  • Can search and locate parts used on any RO by number, partial number, description, UPC, vendor number or alternate part number
  • Can attach multiple photos to any repaired unit documenting damage or required service work
  • Generates profitability reports and variable reports.

The Commander RO eliminates unnecessary data entry and the problem of messy handwritten repair orders.  With minimal effort, you can print estimates and write repair orders containing all the pertinent information about that customer and unit being serviced.

You can also take advantage of available electronic microfiche to help complete the repairs.  Commander interfaces to popular electronic microfiche programs, too!  This allows you to create a pick list and transfer it directly onto a repair order, making it possible to create an R.O. without ever having to type a part number!

When items need to be special ordered for a repair, you can create purchase orders with just a few clicks of your mouse.  That’s because every part number you could potentially use for a repair, is already stored in your system.   When you “post” a repair order, all the required parts not currently in stock for that job are moved to the “P.O. Pad” for ordering at the end of the day.

Commander Software gives you the controls you need to effectively manage your service department.  Access to information about customers, units and parts, allows your service techs to work faster and focus their attention back to service and repair.

Parts Prices Always Change

Price, Cross Ref. & Locate

 

Web-based price updates keep all your parts price current.  The Cross Reference feature provides other items that will work with comparative pricing. Finally, the Warehouse Locator will tell you which vendor facility stocks the items and shows availability.

Accurate, Complete and Automatic

  •  Database contains price books for over 600 vendors updated via the internet
  •  Cross Reference between vendors included to suggest alternate parts that will work for this repair.
  • Even shows comparative parts pricing between many vendors
  • Warehouse Locator for some vendors even shows vendor inventory from inside the RO making it easy to project parts availability while working your RO.
  • This enables you to “work” out of your vendor’s inventory – easily projecting ship dates and availability

Parts prices are always changing!  For example, one aftermarket vendor, Parts Unlimited, alone has 132,002 part numbers in their catalog.  What if you sell parts from Parts Unlimited, Tucker Rocky, Western Powersports,  Lockhart Phillips, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Polaris, Bombardier and KTM (to name a few)?  We’re talking about 1.5 million part numbers (1,469,642 to be exact).  These are part numbers and prices that are changing continually.  If you ignore these changes, you’re going to be selling parts at prices that are too low.  This is a BIG profit leak!

It IS possible to price parts one at a time by going to the vendor’s web site or thumbing through their parts directory.  But who is going to get the assignment?  Will it be you (the owner), or the parts manager, or maybe the service manager or the bookkeeper or a counter person, perhaps?  Who in your shop has time to keep this huge quantity of part numbers updated?

Most likely, no one wants the job.  BUT . . . keeping prices current is our specialty here at MIC Systems!  We have a whole department that works hard to collect, compile, convert and distribute this valuable Parts Pricing.  Our staff then converts it into a format that will load right into our Commander software.  We supply you with Parts Pricing and Updates for over 600 vendors and distributors.  We can even do “one off” customized price files for your own important or local short-line vendors.
