The new cloud-native platform integrates store operations, comes with a practical AI, and can be expanded to incorporate a wider range of Klipboard automotive solutions as business grows.
Carrie, North Carolina, October 6th / PRNewswire / -- Klipboard, a company specializing in industry-specific business software, has launched Autowork, which is a store management platform that is both cloud-native and AI-native. This new solution is designed to provide an unified platform for independent automotive after-sales service centers to manage their daily operations.
Klipboard has established a business foundation in the automotive after-sales market, providing software designed around the industry's operating methods. Its enterprise-level platform Autowork One supports some of the largest tire and service networks in North America. Autowork builds upon this experience to meet the daily needs of running a profitable independent automotive service business.
Autowork integrates reservations, maintenance work orders, customers, vehicles, parts, inventory, tires, and invoicing into one platform, helping businesses better control their operations and reduce reliance on multiple disjointed systems. Its parts catalog is built-in to the system, including tire inquiries, quotes, and assembly pricing, so adaptation and pricing are all maintained in one place, rather than in separate tools.
Artificial intelligence has already begun to handle some practical daily tasks. The AI scheduling assistance feature of Autowork can help identify suitable appointment opportunities without the need for manual checking of store schedules one by one. In the future, more AI functions are also planned to be added.
Klipboard North American CEO Dean Petrone stated: "What automotive companies need are technologies that make operations easier, not just more technology. That's exactly what we aim to achieve through Autowork. For many years, we have been developing software for enterprise-level tire and service networks, and Autowork transforms our understanding of the industry into what individual stores truly need."
For the tire business, the specialized functions of Autowork support tire inquiries, quoting, assembly pricing, and supplier integration, helping tire specialty stores to manage their tire business in conjunction with a broader range of services, maintenance, and repair operations.
Autowork can also be connected to Klipboard for a broader range of automotive solutions, allowing enterprises to start with the features they need today and then add capabilities such as e-commerce and payment as their requirements grow.
Petrone said, "Stores shouldn't try to stock up on everything on the first day, nor should they have to switch suppliers and start over every time a new feature is needed. With Autowork, businesses can start with the features they need and then gradually add more capabilities from Klipboard as they grow."
Autowork is designed to be easy to set up, learn to use, and currently it is available for independent single-shop car repair shops, service centers, and tire businesses.
