Myth:
I've heard that R.O.Writer
Shop Management Software is only for large shops.
-
Fact:
It's true that a lot of large
shops do use R.O.Writer Shop Management Software. It's also true
that a lot of these
large shops were
small shops before they started using R.O.Writer. We have successful
1 man shops using R.O.Writer Shop Management Software, we also have successful multi-shop chains with central office reporting functions
using R.O.Writer Shop Management Software. R.O.Writer Shop
Management Software can be configured to meet your existing shop
needs now then grow with your business by adding additional
R.O.Writer™ features.

Myth:
I've heard that R.O.Writer is expensive!
-
Fact
1:
Compared to what? Are you using a subscription
(rental based) Management Program?
In most cases R.O.Writer is less expensive and
produces much more profit and point of sale productivity. Remember
if you choose one of our lease to own program (we also have discounted cash
packages) the lease payments will stop at the end of the term (our lease
terms are from 24mo. to 60mo.) but your subscription will continue and
continue and continue..... Costs

Fact 2: Automotive repair shops that have replaced
their current shop management software with R.O.Writer™ shop
management software consistently report up to a 20% increase
in gross profit within the first few months of installation, and in
a lot of cases have
actually paid for their software in less than 90 days as a result of
increased profits and productivity, that would be like getting great
"free shop management software "!!
-
Question:
How come my parts suppliers doesn't recommend R.O.Writer, but recommends
another management software program?
-
Answer:
Only two reasons I can think of right now. They perceive other
software to be less expensive and don't want to try and justify the
price difference, or this "one" R.O.Writer™ feature
freaks them out! Take a quick look (Smart
eCat Demo Link) and you be the judge.....

Do you purchase a subscription for R.O.Writer or do you own the

Does
R.O.Writer use "Matrix" pricing for parts mark up?
-
Fact:
Yes would be
the short answer. Matrix Pricing is one of the pricing methods that R.O.Writer uses.
R.O.Writer uses both Matrix Pricing and "Linear Pricing"
for parts and labor markup. (Why
Use Linear Pricing Link
Linear
Pricing Example Link) Linear pricing would be kind of like
Matrix pricing on Steroids. One of the best features of "Linear
Pricing" is that it takes the stair step disadvantage
away and replaces it with a infinite smooth slope. This also can be
set-up by Supplier and/or Parts Department for parts.
