At SEMA, the largest automotive trade show in the USA, which attracts about 140,000 attendees, we hosted the 5th Quarter and Yeti Giveaway Happy Hour event in our booth on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This event featured drinks, snacks, and a raffle for a Yeti Prize Package, creating a relaxed and engaging networking atmosphere during the last hour of the show.

Vision

VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo, a premier automotive service event for over 30 years, annually drew over 3,500 attendees. Focused on employee training, it offered hands-on lessons for technicians, service advisor training, and management sessions. The 2024 conference, held from February 19th to March 3rd at the Overland Park Convention Center, covered technical practices, standard operating procedures, KPIs, and service advisor sales approaches.

Tekmetric had a booth at this event, providing valuable networking and learning opportunities. The event also served as a marketing platform for top automotive companies to host sessions, sponsor, and exhibit, connecting with dedicated professionals and contributing to industry excellence. Additionally, we co-hosted a happy hour with Steer on March 1st, which allowed us to interact with more attendees in a relaxed and engaging setting.

Shop Hackers

The Tekmetric team attended Shop Hackers in early August as a Platinum Sponsor. Shop Hackers was one of Tekmetric’s key strategic events of the year, with a large portion of attendees being Tekmetric customers. Our focus as a revenue team was to ensure we leveraged the event and overall investment to:

  • Mobilize and engage our customer base.
  • Drive demand and adoption of Tekmetric solutions.
  • Generate brand awareness and visibility for Tekmetric.

At this event, we had the opportunity to speak directly with attendees and presented Tekmetric Unveiled: Latest Features and Upcoming Innovations, showcasing our newest developments and exciting future plans. We also launched the MVP Customer Advocacy Program, which allows us to recognize and engage our most valued customers. To further enhance the experience, we invited four of our customer shops to attend the event and share their experiences with Tekmetric.

The integration, selected by industry experts as well as public popular vote, allows shop owners to seamlessly order original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts directly from the Tekmetric Shop Management System.

For over three decades, the annual MOTOR Top 20 Awards have recognized outstanding new industry solutions across the automotive industry, from the most innovative tool or equipment to creating the best customer experience.

Winners are selected by automotive professionals and experts who voted over a thirty-day open voting process from a selection of this year’s most valuable contributions to the industry.

“As a leading shop management system, our team at Tekmetric shares a mutual belief with our partners at OEC that we best support shop owners in all their business needs by providing modern and relevant solutions,” said Sunil Patel, Co-Founder and CEO of Tekmetric.

“We are honored and humbled to have the Tekmetric-RepairLink integration recognized by both our customers – shop owners – and our industry peers as one of this year’s most innovative solutions.”

With its combination of Tekmetric’s cloud-based capabilities and RepairLink’s parts ordering platform, the integration builds upon Tekmetric’s existing parts ordering offerings to streamline the process of ordering OEM parts for auto repair shops. Through the integration, shop owners can track orders or returns with real-time online updates, as well as address orders in one screen, transferring any quoted parts and VIN numbers automatically into Tekmetric.

“Vehicle sophistication is growing rapidly, and all signs point to even more advancements, meaning it’s absolutely necessary for repairers to have enhanced access to critical parts and information,” said Bonnie Coleman, OEC Director, Mechanical Retail.
