May 2021 System Updates & News Nexpart Integration With Labor Pull: Within your account profile, you will not have the ability to add vendors that utilize the Nexpart ordering system. To get started, Click “My Account” and then scroll down to Nexpart. + The new page will now allow you to view existing Nexpart vendors already added or allow you to add new ones: + Easy Check – Add New Customer: In an on going effort to improve our process, we have added “Add New Customer” to the “Easy Check In” flow. This will allow you to add anyone not on the platform, and then proceed to add their vehicle and start a service request or make a future appointment. + Enhanced Mobile Display We’ve been working really hard on our mobile display as well. There are no pages that should require you to pan right anymore. Everything should be contained within the window you are in on your mobile device. + + Reduced Repetitive Steps: We have added functionality that auto fills the state, timezone and customer type for each customer as well as the vehicle license plate state.  Saving you a few seconds each time from having to select them. Consolidated Closing of Service Requests: + A work in progress to help speed up some of the quicker/shorter service requests.  There are other additions to this coming this month as well.
