*How it works?

 

*      Your customer drops off their vehicle at your Service Department.

 

*      Your Service Advisor enters the Customer Name, Mobile Number/Email Address, and selects the repairs from your customized Service Sheet in the W8TER System.

 

*      The W8TER System will then automatically send your customer a personalized Thank You message (text message or email) along with their vehicle pick-up time.

 

*      If repair changes or time adjustments are made to the customer’s vehicle pick-up time, the W8TER System will send your customer a personalized message regarding the change.

 

*      When the customer’s vehicle is approaching its ready time, your Service Advisor will receive an alert from the W8TER System informing them to make any pick-up time adjustments (optional).

 

*      When the Ready Time is reached, the W8TER System will alert your customer to pick-up their vehicle.

 

*      The next day your customer will receive a customized CSI Follow-up Message regarding their vehicle service experience.

 

*      If the customer was in for a repeat service (i.e. Oil Change), the W8TER System will automatically send out a reminder EMAIL to your customer when the service is due again (see message section below).

 

*      If the customer wishes to WAIT in the Customer Lounge for their vehicle they can view the progress of their service on a W8TER System Display Screen (see below-optional).

 

*      The W8TER System will automatically send you a monthly email report of all customer services performed for the prior month.

 

 

 

*The W8TER Customer Area Display Screen

Keep your customers informed on the sTATUS of their vehicles

 

     Displayed above is the Customer Q Screen. This screen contains information about all customers; those who are waiting and those who will retrieve their car at a later time. Once a customer’s information has been entered in your database, this information is stored. This data retrieval process is a convenience feature designed exclusively to streamline the waiting process. Essentially, the W8TER system doubles as a customer database. From this screen, you can select what work needs to be done to the customer’s vehicle. The system configures an approximate wait time based on the services chosen. Shortly after a new customer has been added to the queue, messages begin to be sent.

 

     Customer names are displayed in red, green and black. Customer’s names appearing in black are currently in queue and have received a confirmation of an approximate ready time. A customer name highlighted in green indicates their vehicle will soon be ready. Currently, this is defaulted to thirty minutes prior to ready time. However, the time preference is at your discretion. Customer’s appearing in red have received notification their vehicle is ready. After a customer has picked up their vehicle, simply click on the red check mark to the left of their name to remove them from the customer queue. Removing a customer from the queue does not delete their information from the database. All information is saved for future reference. Once a customer returns to your service center, you may look-up their information by mobile number or e-mail address. All of the customer information fields will be filled in automatically and a date showing their last visit appears.

 

     Your service center has the option of installing a video display screen in your waiting area for your customer’s convenience. This is done for two reasons. First, those who choose to opt-out of receiving messages are visually shown their place in line. Secondly, your service center has the option of integrating advertising onto this screen. Display maintenance specials, new cars, or featured financing options to entice your customers. Ask our team how the advertising features can bring added revenue to your service center by incorporating vendor advertising.
