Transforming Collision Center Operations with a Smart Parts Restrictions Portal
A leading player in the vehicle collision repair industry, sought to modernize and automate operational workflows across its repair centers. Their goal was to improve repair efficiency, automate billing, and enable real-time decision-making through a centralized, scalable web application. With multiple collision centers under its umbrella, the client needed a multi-tenant system that could ensure data isolation while standardizing core operations.
The Challenge:
The Client was operating with highly manual, disjointed processes that limited scalability and introduced inefficiencies. Key business challenges included:
- Manual repair tracking and technician management led to inconsistencies and delays
- Lack of a unified system to monitor technician performance against repair timelines
- Billing processes were fragmented and often delayed, affecting revenue cycles
- Data from multiple repair centers was siloed, making centralized visibility and management difficult
- The need for a scalable solution that supported multi-tenant architecture while maintaining data privacy across centers
Our Solution:
We developed a robust, web-based application designed to optimize operations and automate critical workflows. Built using ASP.NET Core MVC, the solution delivered real-time insights, automated billing, and seamless data flow across client’s network of repair centers.
Key Solution Highlights:
- Repair Order Automation: Enabled real-time tracking of repair jobs, with detailed service timelines and status indicators
- Technician Performance Monitoring: Captured individual technician data to measure efficiency and correlate with repair turnaround time
- Automated Billing Engine: Integrated with Chargebee to automate invoicing, payment collection, and reconciliation
- Multi-Tenant System Architecture: Provided tenant-level data isolation, allowing multiple centers to operate independently under one platform
- Interactive UI: Built with jQuery enhancements for a smoother, dynamic user experience
