Klipboard launches new AI-powered garage management platform
Klipboard, the industry specific business software company, has unveiled a new cloud-based garage management platform designed to give independent and multi-site automotive businesses one place to manage their day-to-day operations.
Klipboard is already the leading supplier of software to all areas of the automotive aftermarket in the UK and Ireland, with more independent garages using its garage management software than any other vendor.
It says its new Autowork system is a ground-up rebuild using the latest technology and application design along with unrivalled understanding of best practice in running garages profitably.
Bringing bookings, jobs, customers, vehicles, parts, stock, tyres and invoicing together within one connected platform, Autowork is designed as a one-stop shop for running a modern garage, giving businesses greater control over their operation and reducing the need to rely on multiple disconnected systems.
Autowork is also designed to go beyond core garage management. Its connection to Klipboard’s wider range of automotive solutions means businesses can start with what they need today and add more as their requirements grow, without having to piece together software from different providers.
AI is put to work on practical, everyday tasks – for example, an AI-assisted booking tool helps users identify suitable booking opportunities without manually working through the workshop diary.
Combined with Klipboard’s long standing experience across the automotive aftermarket, the result is a garage management platform designed to be easier to adopt, simpler to use and ready for the way garages are changing.
James Mitchell, CEO Europe at Klipboard, said: “Garages need technology that makes running their business easier, not just more technology.
“This is what we’re setting out to achieve with Autowork. We’ve looked at the everyday pressures facing garages and built the experience around making those jobs simpler, whether that’s managing the workshop, finding and ordering parts, dealing with customers or keeping track of what’s happening across the business.
“AI is an important part of that. We’re already putting it to work on practical tasks, with much more potential to reduce administration and make a genuine difference to people’s working day.”
