New features improve vendor coordination with focus on total cost management

LAS VEGAS: Repairify, which improves automotive industry workflows by combining original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket tools and data with sophisticated analytics, is unveiling the next generation of Repair360 at NADA 2026. The new Repair360 platform features three core modules – Workflow Management, Technician Module, and Vendor Management – designed to enable dealerships to not only manage reconditioning and used vehicle turn times, but costs as well.

Rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain shortages, and consumers holding on to vehicles longer than ever before are creating new challenges for dealership used vehicle purchases, reconditioning, and used vehicle sales. Repair360 turns manual processes into trackable digital workflows that streamline communications, enable real-time tracking across departments and vendors, and maximize profits. With Repair360, days-to-line is measurable, with every step of recon timestamped, every handoff tracked, and every delay visible. Dealers can easily track technician labor, sublet vendor costs, and parts costs to keep gross profits predictable.

New features in Repair360 include an integrated chat function and automated repair order write back in DealerTrack. In the Repair360 platform, users will now be able to send messages including photos and attachments internally between departments and externally with vendors. Instead of simply managing the acquisition and sale of a purchase in DealerTrack, dealerships can now see every step of the reconditioning process as well. Upon completion of reconditioning work, repair orders are written back to DealerTrack. Both systems operate in synch streamlining vehicle management and eliminating duplicate vehicle portfolios in the dealership database.

Repair360 Platform:

• Workflow Management – manage every aspect of core reconditioning operations from trade-in evaluation and diagnostic scans through final touch-up paint.
• Technician Module – labor shortages and high labor costs have dealerships focused on labor efficiency. Now it is possible to track how long tasks should take versus how long they’re taking in real-time, and which bottlenecks are dragging down throughput.
• Vendor Management – vendors are often needed for PDR, detailing, photography and other steps of the recon process. Non-stop texting, calling, supplements, and status confusion slow processes and increase costs. Now dealers and vendors can operate in the same digital workflow so nothing falls through the cracks.

Repairify is showcasing Repair360 at booth #8029N during NADA. Attendees are invited to stop by the booth or visit https://www.repair360.com/ or https://repairify.com/ to learn more.
