What Our Customers Are Saying
The Lincoln LFC6000 server-based fluid management system has really helped us account for all our oil and fluids, eliminate shrinkage, and increase profits. The Excede DMS interface is great as it allows for automatic billing. Our techs use their in-bay PCs to request and dispense oil and it gets charged straight to the ticket, improving shop efficiency.
Using the PACCAR integrations has greatly improved our overall business process and customer satisfaction. The MDI interface has helped improve our inventory accuracy and levels for better customer satisfaction, and the Service Gate interface makes it seamless for customers that charge with the OEM. Our receivables are paid timely through this process, and this contributes to improved cash flow. A must-have for any PACCAR dealer.
In the five years since we began with Procede, we have grown our parts & service business beyond our goals, and the Excede Software has been a core part of how we made it happen. Not only has our business grown, our processes, like parts inventory control, have become more efficient and accurate. Excede makes it much easier to control the complex parts pricing structures required to compete in today’s market.
Since Excede DMS uses a relational database, it gives us the ability to pull information and generate reports. We can also access vehicle and service history from all our locations, not just the local branch. Excede even gives us the ability to save documents related to the repair order like emails, PDFs and pictures.
The ability to export from Repair Management to Excede DMS using Navistar Gateway in order to create a Repair Order saves so much time since we are no longer duplicating our efforts.
Time Clock allows my technicians to be more hands-on and efficient in their duties. A must-have for any busy shop environment.
The Service Web App WorkRoom and WaitRoom are simple but robust monitoring applications that enforce the communication between service office staff and technicians. We’d definitely recommend utilizing the Service Web App to anyone looking for a quick and easy way to help monitor and manage workflow in a busy service department.
We have been using Rapid RO for almost a year now, and it is a great tool to quickly get a repair order input into the system so technicians can start on repairs immediately.
Graco has been a wonderful addition to Thompson Dubuque. We have had lots of improvements in inventory on our fluids. We had a lot of issues tracking our fluids, and now our inventory is dead-on and has no issues.
