Heavy-duty collision repair

Built for bigger repairs

Plan space for larger units, document trucks and trailers, and keep related repairs connected from check-in through delivery.

Heavy Duty mode is included at the same price and enabled by AutoHound.

A workflow that fits the floor

Make room for heavy-duty work

Add heavy-duty stages and labor types alongside your existing setup. Schedule against both available hours and large-unit capacity.

Keep the whole repair connected

Carry the details through delivery

The job stays connected to the parts, account requirements, and payment records behind it.

01

Know where parts landed

The receiving history records the shelf entered when a delivery arrived, even if the part's current bin changes later.

02

Bill progress on longer jobs

Use numbered draws on company customer-pay repairs, capped at the approved estimate. Receipts show settled draws by name, amount, method, and date.

03

Keep the account requirements

Carry customer purchase orders, net terms, and open-items statements alongside the repair. Fleet contacts can follow their units in a verified portal.
