Bolt On Technology Hits the Road with Mobile Software

Bolt On Technology is bringing its technology on the road with the Over the Road extension of its Mobile Manager software, which technicians can use out of their mobile repair vehicle.

“There is no reason our digital technology should be limited to only vehicle repairs at the shop,” said Michael Risich, founder and CEO of Bolt On Technology. “With the addition of the Over The Road software, mobile repair shops can now utilize all of the benefits of Mobile Manager from their mobile repair vehicle to better service their customers.”

Over The Road provides a real-time, two-way integration with the shop management system using a carrier-enabled tablet with 4G capabilities or better.

Features of the Over The Road software include:

Creating estimates and recommendations on-site at vehicle that integrates with the shop management system instantaneously
On-site digital inspections with photographs. Record existing vehicle conditions before towing or work begins
Decoding the VIN or license plate for 100% accuracy
Sharing completed vehicle inspections with customers via text message while on scene
Customizing individual digital inspections built for general customers, fleet accounts, and used car lots
Utilizing Time Clock feature for precise measurements of technician’s travel and job time
Ability to see repair information, diagrams, and wiring charts right at the vehicle
