Automotive Dealerships
The workshop is the most reliable margin in the dealership and, in most groups, the least measured. The job runs on a paper job-card, the estimate is verbal, the customer is surprised by the bill, a fitted part is not always billed, bay productivity is invisible, and OEM warranty claims get rejected on paperwork. For a commercial-vehicle or EV dealer a truck off the road is the customer's money bleeding, so bay throughput and parts availability are an uptime commitment; for an independent workshop this is the entire business and there is no OEM warranty layer at all.
Who has it
Across every segment except spare-parts and accessories counters; the signature case is commercial-vehicle and EV dealers (uptime and AMC) and independent workshops (the whole business); a major win for car, passenger-vehicle, two-wheeler and tractor dealers.
What we build
A standardised service process end to end: a digital job-card, an estimate the customer approves before work starts, a parts-issued-versus-billed check on every job, bay productivity and revenue-per-bay, and (for franchised car, two-wheeler, tractor, commercial-vehicle and EV dealers) warranty-claim discipline so OEM claims are not rejected on documentation. For an independent workshop, the same workshop spine with own-warranty and third-party billing and no OEM claim.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
The reliable spine
The reliable spine is non-AI: a digital job-card, a customer-approved estimate before work starts, a parts-issued-versus-billed check on every job, bay productivity and revenue-per-bay, and warranty-claim discipline, all on clean records.
Where AI helps
AI helps draft the warranty claim from the job-card and flag a job where issued parts do not match billed parts; the estimate, the bill and the disposition of each flag stay with the service manager.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
The workshop runs to a process instead of a supervisor's memory; the parts-billing leak closes; warranty claims stop being rejected on paperwork; bay productivity becomes a number. For an independent workshop, the whole business becomes legible. Illustrative: a commercial-vehicle dealer standardised the job-card and added a parts-issued-versus-billed check on every job and cut rejected OEM warranty claims by about half, with the service manager dispositioning each flag. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
