we use the digital inspections to provide transparency to our clients. It has also allowed us to provide a very consistent level of service; it is predictable for our clients. we also capture photos of the body of the vehicle to catalog any pre-existing damages.

Pros

The digital inspections, two way text communication, customer support

Cons

I mostly appreciate Autoflow, some of the set up was cumbersome, however, we were learning the system. Some features that were more difficult have been sorted out through various updates.

Reasons for Choosing Autoflow

When we subscribed to autoserve1 we had tremendous interruptions in backend integration. We had revamped our processes to allow for the use of digital inspections, only to find that it created a massive headache.

I used this for a recon shop, with little to no outside customers. But what made it perfect for me was the ability to share my dashboard with my sales department. They could track what new inventory was coming and when it would be ready. I also used the DVI to help the sales team sell the vehicle by showing the customer what was inspected, what was repaired, etc.

Pros

The ability to make tabs for all the steps in the process

Cons

The only downside I had was that it wasn't integrated into my shop management/billing program

I have had [sensitive content hidden] to my location a couple of times for training, I try to attend all the video calls, I love this company and I am so grateful we get to experience this awesome change for the Auto Industry.

Pros

I love the customer support, the training, and I love that the platform is customizable. The platform is very easy to use, I get to customize each and every line item in my digital vehicle inspection. This platform is seemless with tekmetric, and several other software platforms. I love the texting options as well as the automatic messages informing the customer throughout the process. Plus [sensitive content hidden] is the Bees Knees!

Cons

It took a lot of playing around for adding options to the DVI, adding recommendations, and setting up the DVI. With all the training that is done, would it be possible to share some How To Videos?

Response from Software Status Solutions

Thank you for your feedback on our customer support and training, which we put great emphasis on and take pride in! Glad to hear how customizable our tool is for you and its seamlessness with Tekmetric. Thank you for choosing us!

Pros

My favorite function is being able to send customers real time updates with the click of a button via text message. I also really like the ability to upload pictures and videos to each recommended item.

Cons

I have not utilized the Work Order section of Autoflow because I feel it does not integrate well with our main DMS, TekMetric. Admittedly, I have not spent much time working through it because it is not our primary method, but I've been satisfied enough with the DVI portion, which is the main feature we utilize.

We are currently dealing with some connectivity issues between our devices and Autoflow’s server regardless of our network/cell tower speeds, but other than this new issue, we have had a generally great experience.

Pros

Autoflow’s DVI functionality is very streamlined. Its take next to no time get our new technicians acclimated with the system. Our customers love having a digital inspection that they can review at any time after their current work is completed as well.

Cons

The current state of DVIs does not include the ability for the customer to approve or deny work needed on the vehicle without having to contact the salerep and approve/deny vocally over the phone. We wish there was the ability to do this without having to reconnect with the customer when theyre no longer on site. This would save a lot of time.

The support and product is great. We had tried a different DVI system and it wasn't as friendly to use or a support staff that went above and beyond to help work through issues.

Pros

The communication between the technician and the counter is great. We get notifications when the DVI is submitted which allows us to quickly write the repair order and send it to the client. Then we get notifications when the client has opened up the DVI which triggers us to give the client a call if they haven't already called.

Cons

What I like least is the fact that DVIs are locked down after so many uses. Doesn't matter how many times I ask for input as soon as I update our DVI, people find things that they want to be changed, and if it is after the
