Service
Writer Express 2005 is intended for smaller automotive
repair shops looking to automate processes for creating,
controlling, and managing their repair orders and
invoices. Service Writer Express includes all of the
key functions smaller shops need to accomplish many of
the tasks included with much larger systems like the
Service Writer Professional. Most shops that install
the express version have limited, if any,
computerization in their shop and realize that it's
finally time to computerize further. We offer the
Express version so that businesses new to
computerization can minimize their initial investment. |

Generate professional invoices
Generate professional estimates and invoices quickly
and easily. Select parts, labour, outside services,
and record any need attention items. Assign
technicians to parts for commission purposes, as
well as labour so you can efficiently measure
productivity. Estimates and invoices can be printed
or emailed to your customers.

Customer & Vehicle History
Record
and maintain customer as well as vehicle
information. You can record the make, model, model
year, and inspection expiry date. You can store
this information for an unlimited number of vehicles while maintaining a complete service history.

- Follow Up &
Repeat Business
Use the mail-out
wizard to generate mailing lists for customers based
on a virtually endless number of choices. You can
print these lists or export them to EXCEL and use
the data for a mail-merge in MS-OFFICE. Using these
tools can help encourage repeat business from your
customers.

Daily Sales
Analysis
Automatically generate a range of useful management
reports including sales and gross margin reports for
specific dates. You also graphically reproduce this
data to reveal sales trends that can help you make
better decisions.

Third Party Integration
Service Writer Express currently integrates with
ALLDATA meaning
that those customers using
ALLDATA can
extract parts and labour information from their
ALLDATA
system. Third party integration makes it easier for
customers to leverage their existing investment.
