Repair OnDemand announces the launch of five upcoming enhancements to their reconditioning management system, Repair360, at NADA 2025.
These five enhancements will focus on cutting down inefficiencies and enhancing productivity in appraisal and reconditioning workflows, saving dealers time and money in the process.
“We’re seeing profit margins shrinking again as we head into 2025 and one way to combat thin margins is to become brilliant at the basics. These enhancements to our Repair360 solution enable dealerships to create operational excellence in their appraisal and reconditioning process by creating faster turns and higher profit per vehicle,” said Randy Kobat, president of Repair OnDemand.
1. Repair360 VIN Tracker
In line with Repair360’s commitment to efficiency, the first enhancement will be the Repair360 VIN Tracker, enabling users to track the reconditioning status of a vehicle by hovering over the VIN on any website connected to their inventory. By giving instant access to reconditioning data from any platform displaying a vehicle’s VIN, fixed ops and used car teams will receive valuable insights into a vehicle’s location and status. This enhancement will speed up workflows, improve collaborations across all departments, and help build trust and satisfaction with customers.
2. Repair360 Acquisition Cost Accuracy Tracker
This enhanced feature tracks variances between initial acquisition cost estimates and final costs, enabling more precise strategies. In addition, detailed reporting on cost discrepancies will provide reliable data to control costs and reduce unexpected expenses. Ultimately, the Acquisition Cost AccuracyTracker is an invaluable tool for saving time, energy and money to ensure better profitability while eliminating the guesswork of acquisition and reconditioning costs.
3. Repair360 BlueDriver Scan Report
In an effort to make appraisals smarter and more data-driven, reports from BlueDriver OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics) can now be integrated directly into Repair360, ensuring immediate access to actionable insights. This enhancement is a game-changer for car diagnostics — it centralizes diagnostics and reconditioning, saving time and simplifying workflows, while building customer trust with clear and factual repair recommendations.
4. Repair360 Redesigned Repair Order List
The redesigned repair order list in Repair360 offers an intuitive and visually appealing interface tailored to meet the needs of fixed ops and used car professionals. With additional access to vehicle details and reconditioning plans, this feature maximizes productivity and ensures teams can work together more efficiently with a clear, streamlined interface.
5. Repair360 Dashboard Featuring Team-Specific Time Attribution
In an effort to better allocate resources among teams for optimal efficiency, the new team-specific time attribution feature provides detailed insights into team workloads and cycle times between variable and fixed ops departments. Managers are now able to identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows with drill-down metrics for individual team members. The result is better resource allocation to help drive long-term operational improvement.
