Pick your office's software below and watch Iris at work in it.
What does your office run on?
You ask. Iris does the work.
First duties
What Iris usually takes on first.
Answer every call and book the car in
Iris answers in the shop's name, books the appointment and texts the customer a confirmation.
Follow up declined work
She texts customers about the repairs they put off and books the ones who say yes.
Match parts invoices to repair orders
She ties every parts line to its repair order and lists the core credits still owed. Supplier payments wait for your okay.
Work out tech pay from flag hours
She works out each tech's pay under your plan and enters it in payroll. Nothing runs until you approve it.
The work
What keeps an auto shop's front office busy.
- Parts invoices matched to repair orders. Each parts invoice is matched to its repair order, and each supplier statement is checked for core credits on returned parts. A missed credit is money left with the supplier.
- Each day closed against the card batches. Each evening the day's repair orders are balanced against card batches, cash and checks, then typed into the books. Parts costs often differ between the shop system and the books.
- Supplements chased after teardown. Once a body shop takes the car apart, the estimator writes a supplement for the insurer's appraiser. Each one has to be followed until it is approved and paid.
- Flag hours added up for every tech. Technicians are paid on flag hours, the book hours credited for each job. Each week someone pulls them for every tech and works out the pay in a spreadsheet.
- Car costs tracked for the lender's audit. At a used-car lot, repair bills are added to each car's cost one at a time. When the floor plan lender audits, someone has to account for every financed car.
Unlike the general-purpose AI employee bots on the market, Iris works in the software an auto shop's front office already uses. How we're different
