Optimizing a Paintless Dent Repair Business

Once a service technician is proficient at paintless dent repair services, the next issue is how do they grow a profitable PDR business. There is a finite amount of time and energy in a day, and one service technician can only do so much. As the service technician gets busier with more dealerships and customers, they will need someone to help provide additional services, process invoices, schedule work and market/sell services into more dealerships, etc. This is when the question generally arises as to what technologies should be used to optimize the business.

Since PDR, by its nature, is a mobile business - mobile software and mobile PDA devices are good places to start. Customers/dealerships need to schedule work. MobileDataforce has developed an application called FieldSync Automotive with a desktop FieldSync Manager and a mobile software application called FieldSync Mobile. This is a solution designed for paintless dent repair specialist to optimize their business, provide instant invoicing, document all services and inspections, and develop quality processes that enable you to expand your business and integrate with your accounting software in the office.

The purpose - grow and scale the business. Develop business processes that allow you to efficiently grow the business, ensure quality services and project a professional image.

PDR companies that show up at a dealership with a water stained paper form, don't present the same quality and credibility as a professional PDR service technician that is carrying a rugged handheld computer that is syncing wirelessly with the office scheduling and accounting system.
