Full visibility of workshop activity, at a glance
Technician workload and availability, job progress, upcoming delays, revenue generated day by day: clear dashboards give everyone an instant, clear view of the workshop, without cross-checking several tools or picking up the phone. No more time wasted looking for information in the right place: everything you need is right there on your screen. A workshop manager can see in seconds which technician is available, which job is running late and which vehicle is still waiting for a part. Managers can follow their day at a glance and compare it with other sites in the network.
Easy to use, designed by and for the field
A clear, intuitive interface built for ease of use by aftersales professionals: service advisors, technicians and managers. Designed by and with them, we keep improving it based on their feedback from the field, to stay ever closer to their day-to-day reality and needs, led by project managers who are themselves former aftersales managers. A service advisor can book an appointment in a few clicks, and a technician can update job progress from their workstation or a tablet, without juggling several screens or different software.
Connected to your DMS and digital tools, not competing with them
More than 100 integrations and interfaces available: DMS, invoicing software, manufacturer extranets, callbots, tyre scanners, predictive marketing, key drop-off kiosks and more. Rather than adding yet another tool to an already long list, MecaPlanning becomes the conductor: it connects the tools you already use and finally gets them talking to each other. No more double entry between the schedule and the accounting software, and less risk of errors or oversights. Every tool performs better, without you having to change anything on your side. Digitalisation that simplifies, never complicates.
Appointments, repair orders and invoicing, with no re-entry
Every job starts with an appointment turned into a clear repair order, with the related parts order and the estimated labour time. MecaPlanning connects to your quoting, invoicing and accounting software so that information flows from the first estimate to the final invoice, with no manual re-entry and no time lost between workshop teams. Service advisors, technicians and whoever handles invoicing all work from the same data, updated in real time.
Truly smart scheduling
Every appointment is placed according to the workshop's actual workload, the skills available, and the availability of parts and courtesy vehicles. Continuous optimisation of the workshop schedule, not a fixed theoretical plan. The system also anticipates preventive maintenance needs, with appointments that can be scheduled several months ahead, and spreads the workload across the whole week rather than concentrating it on a few days. And if something unexpected happens, such as a job running late or a technician off sick, the schedule adjusts automatically so the day's workload stays realistic, not just optimistic on paper. The result: fewer empty slots and less idle time, more billed hours, and customers whose work is completed on schedule.
Automated booking, fewer calls and fewer missed appointments
Whether customers book through the dealer's or manufacturer's website or via a QR code in the vehicle, automated booking works with no human involvement at all. By phone or at the dealership, the system checks the workshop's real availability instantly, so appointments are confirmed on the spot, with no call-backs or manual schedule checks. And thanks to its connection to leading callbots, MecaPlanning can also absorb call peaks and keep customers informed in real time. The result: fewer inbound calls for the same number of appointments, fewer no-shows thanks to automatic confirmations and reminders, and no missed opportunities, even outside opening hours or when lines are busy.
Group or network, a consolidated view
For multi-site, multi-brand groups, MecaPlanning provides a consolidated view: workload rate, team output, revenue per site, appointment lead times and courtesy vehicle turnover. A shared set of dashboards and KPIs to compare sites, spread best practice and manage performance across the network, without multiplying Excel files. Single-brand dealerships, multi-brand groups and dealer networks all get a consistent view and standardised processes, whatever the brand.
End-to-end support, from roll-out to everyday use
Technology alone isn't enough: we firmly believe it's your teams' adoption that creates value. From roll-out, we place particular emphasis on support: dedicated industry experts, initial on-site training and video coaching modules, everything needed to ensure optimal use from the very first weeks. That support continues well beyond: MecaPlanning evolves with the needs of the trade, with regular updates, new integrations and new features, while ongoing WebTraining (more than 20 sessions a month) helps teams build their skills over time and makes onboarding every new recruit easier. Finally, responsive technical support handles every day-to-day question, so it never becomes an obstacle to the workshop's activity.
