The problem

Problems Dealers and Workshops Bring to Us

01

No Real Cost per Car

Freight and customs sit in another file, so the margin on each car is a guess.

02

Job Cards on Paper

Parts and hours are written by hand, and some never reach the invoice.

03

Parts You Cannot Find

The system says a part is in stock, and nobody knows which shelf.

04

Customers Who Never Return

The car is sold, and nobody calls the owner when service is due.

The Real Cost of Every Car

The price you pay the supplier is only part of what a car costs you. Shipping and customs are added before it reaches the showroom, and preparation comes after. If those costs sit in a separate file, the margin on each sale is a guess.

In Odoo, each vehicle is a stock item with its own chassis number. Freight and customs are added to the cost of the shipment and split across the cars in it. Preparation work can be recorded as a job on that car.

AzkaTech sets up the chassis number as the serial number, so one search shows where a car is and what it has cost so far.

Example. A car costs $18,000 from the supplier, plus $1,500 shipping and $2,200 customs. With landed costs Odoo records it at $21,700, so selling it at $23,000 shows a real margin of $1,300.

Who it’s for

Dealer principals and finance managers.

Outcome

You know the margin on each car on the day you sell it.

02 · Workshop

Every Repair Job Fully Billed

A workshop earns its money on labor and parts. When job cards are on paper, a part taken off the shelf is easy to forget on the invoice. Hours worked are written down later, if at all.

Odoo Repairs opens a repair order for each car that comes in. Parts used are taken out of stock on that order, and labor is added as a service line. The invoice is created out of the same order, so nothing has to be typed twice.

AzkaTech sets up the repair order to match your job card, with the customer’s approval recorded before work starts.

Example. A job card for a regular service lists 2.5 hours of labor and six parts. The mechanic adds a worn part he found, and it goes on the invoice the same day.

Who it’s for

Workshop managers and service advisors.

Outcome

Every part and every hour on a job reaches the invoice.

The Right Part While the Customer Waits

A parts counter lives on speed. The customer is standing there, and the person at the desk needs to know if the part is in stock and on which shelf. With several branches, the answer often means a phone call.

Odoo holds each part under its part number, with a shelf location in each branch. A minimum level raises a purchase order before the shelf is empty. Barcode scanning speeds up receiving and counting.

Odoo has no built-in catalogue of which part fits which model. AzkaTech can add that link to your part records, or connect a catalogue you already use.

Example. A customer asks for a part by its number. The counter sees 3 in stock on shelf B-14, plus the alternatives that fit the same car.

Who it’s for

Parts managers and counter staff.

Outcome

The counter answers quickly, and fast-moving parts stay in stock.

Service Reminders That Bring Owners Back

A sold car should come back to your workshop for years. That only happens if somebody remembers to call the owner. In many dealerships the sales file and the service file sit in two different systems.

In Odoo, each sold car stays linked to its owner through its chassis number. Every repair order on that car is kept in its history. A reminder can be scheduled for the next service date, and new enquiries are followed in the CRM.

Warranty claims to a manufacturer are not built into Odoo. AzkaTech sets them up as their own process if your brand requires it.

Example. A car sold in March gets a reminder for its first service in September, and the after-sales team calls the owner before he goes elsewhere.

Who it’s for

Sales managers and after-sales teams.

Outcome

More owners come back for service, and no enquiry is left unanswered.
