Our team of highly skilled installers always conduct a site visit prior to software installation to ensure your requirements and your business needs are understood thoroughly. The software installation can then be completed alongside your existing system; and your processes configured into the Advance system

We also provide service desk assistance between the preinstall visit and agreed installation date to assist with set up staff, insurers, suppliers etc. We provide up to 5 days training as part of our standard install and follow up calls post installation

Dependant on size, but an installation takes usually 2-3 working days. Usually the installation is completed before Day 1 and then from Day 1 we run comprehensive onsite training which can take 2-3 days.

We discuss your requirements during our sales consultation to define your specific bodyshop profile, once our consultant and you have agreed the modules that are best for your business the installation will be completed to only show what is relevent to you.

Advance has all the tools to optimise your invoicing process, as seamless features ensure that your invoices are right first time, from checking applied rates and discounts through to recording authorisation values.

Advance can even check specific work provider rules and alert you to potential issues that might delay payment, or just as importantly, alert you where the job profitability is lower than expected. These issues can then be corrected before the invoice is raised to avoid extending the payment cycle. You are also able to produce up-front invoices for excess or inherited charges.

The Advance Central package allows a remote head office location to receive comprehensive group reporting, to centralise admin functions and to electronically handle and allocate claims within the group

To our knowledge, no work provider mandates a bodyshop management system.
