Record360 Launches ServicePro in Latest Extension of Software Tools to Help Dealers and Rental Companies Streamline Heavy Equipment Service and Sales Management

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Record360, which provides a mobile inspection and workflow platform that simplifies how companies manage the marketing, sales and asset condition reporting of used heavy equipment inventory, today announced the launch of ServicePro.

Representing the latest extension to Record360’s portfolio, ServicePro streamlines the tedious manual process performed today by service advisors to manage service requests, cost estimates, equipment status and email notifications. or SMS between technicians and customers.

ServicePro solves this challenge, notes Abby Chao, Managing Director of Record360. “We’ve developed a suite of easy-to-use digital tools, accessible from a smartphone, tablet or laptop, that streamlines this process,” she explained. “It takes the guesswork out of service status and work requests by giving your technicians and managers an efficient digital workflow and customer communication platform backed by a single, trusted source of truth.”

Today, a service advisor, working with a technician, will develop a scope of work and cost estimate for the equipment repair or service request. The consultant then contacts the client to explain the estimate and obtain work order approval. It is a complicated manual process, involving many back-and-forth actions such as phone calls, emails and handwritten notes, as well as scanning and printing of documents, between the advisor of service, the technician and the customer, often without a written record.

With ServicePro, service advisors use a digitized process with intuitive software tools to streamline customer communication, improve the service experience, and save technicians time. Advisors can create and send quotes, inspections, and get work order approvals using two-way SMS, all in one easy-to-use platform. Technicians can capture repair status and updates quickly and efficiently from their mobile device.

“It is a workflow management and service archiving system that simplifies communications with customers, facilitates notifications, provides a common repository for work order history, technician notes , inspections, approvals and customer feedback,” Chao added. “Service departments are able to improve customer satisfaction, generate more service revenue and increase technician productivity.”
