Hey everyone,

Curious what other stores and dealer groups are using for daily shop-floor communication between technicians, dispatch, and the warranty desk.
With manufacturers getting stricter every year on punch traceability and documentation before paying claims, how is your store bridging this gap?

Are you running strictly inside your DMS screens, using third-party electronic dispatch boards, or is your floor still mostly paper routing and whiteboards?

What’s working (or not working) in your shop?
