Online Check-In

Similar to Airline-style Online Check-In, customers are invited to check-in online for their appointment a few days before, helping to promote best practice, ensure consistency and increase upsell revenues.

The check-in facility also includes the work they are booked in for, the option to book an AutoPoint or Sharebox Locker and also remind customers to bring important documents with the ability to digitally sign at the end of the process.

Increased Visit Efficiency

The last thing you want is for queues to build up at service reception or any digital lockers you have in your dealership. Lockers are there for the purpose of removing visit inefficiencies.

Therefore, every check-in is completed either upstream of the visit or via an tablet device away from the lockers when in the dealer.

This ensures the customer's visit is as efficient as possible and also means that you do not need multiple locker installs to overcome the queues.
