Vehicle Issue Driven - What is a Vehicle Issue driven Repair Order? Simply put, each problem or concern that brings a customer to your shop is separated on the repair order. Then, the parts and labor that are used to correct that problem are grouped with the concern. This creates two main advantages.

* Helps the shop make sure that all customer concerns are addressed by the shop. There is nothing worse than finding a forgotten repair when the customer comes to pickup their vehicle.
* The customer is able to see exactly what was done to correct the concern, without having to read the entire list of parts and labor and guess which ones fixed the problem.

Complete Vehicle History - Vehicle Repair History is the heart of any Shop Management Software. History provides you with all the relevant details of any repair work done in your shop for any vehicle. Shop Boss Pro is no exception.

With the ability to search for vehicle history by VIN, License Number, Last Name, or Vehicle Description, Shop Boss Pro offers both a quick glance at prior repair work, as well as detailed information at the click of a mouse. Even if an owner sells their vehicle and it finds it's way back to your shop, you still have all the history information based on license number or VIN.

Account Tracking - While Shop Boss Pro does not aim to be a full accounting software package (Quickbooks does a great job and is widely used), we believe that tracking who owes you money is an essential part of managing your shop. So we have included an accounts receivable tracking program. For your commercial accounts, you can post full or partial payments, as well as generate statements for collections.

VIN Explosion - Enter your customers VIN number and Shop Boss Pro will decode and fill in the year, make, model and engine for you. This reduces the chance of data input errors, and improves the speed of entering the information.

Zip Code Explosion - Similar to VIN explosion, but completes the City, State when you enter the correct Zip code. Updated monthly to ensure accuracy.

Inventory Management - As with any Shop Management Software, Shop Boss Pro will let you enter, track and sell from your own parts inventory, and you can add a part to your repair order without having to enter it as inventory first. However Shop Boss Pro takes it a step further.

Let's say you have a general repair shop or a brake specialty shop. You don't inventory brake pads, but you see the same type of vehicle often. Our system includes a Parts Registry that keeps a separate record of each part you add to a vehicle, whether you inventory it or not. This way, you have a searchable database of parts that you use, but don't necessarily keep in stock.
