Introducing Smart Jobs: The Revolutionary New One-Click Job Building Tool

Smart Jobs is a revolutionary new way to build jobs in Tekmetric with just one click. Shop management software, at its core, is meant to help you build jobs, and we wanted to streamline that process as much as possible. So that’s what we did!

Your typical repair order may have one or more jobs packaged together. Usually that requires a lot of clicking around to find the right labor rates, and the right parts, sourcing the parts you don’t have, and applying the right markup matrices, over and over again.

That means an extra click for every single step. If you ask us, that’s too many clicks.

The reality is that all shop management systems require far too many actions for what really should be a one-click process. 

When we set out to create Tekmetric, we set out to revolutionize the independent auto repair industry. We wanted to simplify, yet maximize the work your shop does.

We’re certain you’ll love how much Smart Jobs does just that.

"Smart jobs is a must have, it'll speed up your service writing by a huge amount.” - Chris Chagnon, COO at the Cardinal Plaza Shell

What's new with Smart Jobs?

Smart Jobs in Tekmetric will enable service advisors to add jobs to new repair orders in just one or two clicks per job.

That's right, no more digging around for the right fluids and filters, double-checking your inventory, and ordering out-of-stock parts. Smart Jobs does it all for you!

All with just one or two clicks, job builders can create a new job with an automatically generated name that also automatically: 

  • Adds relevant labor line based on the vehicle selected for the job and labor matrix
  • Changes the required quantity of fluid based on the vehicle selected
  • Finds parts required for the job from your preferred parts vendors by tapping into the PartsTech catalog containing 15M+ parts, letting you order what you need right then and there (filters and fluids too!)
  • Applies a parts matrix to the parts of the job based on the cost
  • Last but not least, applies a total package price to the entire job

Spend less time clicking and more time connecting with customers. Smart Jobs makes everything that simple!

Why You'll Love Smart Jobs

Smart Jobs isn't your average feature release, this is an entirely new simplified, and efficient way for your service advisors to work.

We're certain that you'll love how easy it is for your team to get up and running, provide amazing service, and optimize your shop’s operations to get the most value out of the work your team already does.
