“
“Protractor has been a game changer for my small business. It allows me to track everything in one place, including appointments, inventory, work orders, invoices, and accounting. They provide excellent training on the software. I feel confident in running my business more efficiently with Protractor. I highly recommend Protractor to other automotive technicians looking to start their own business.”
“
“Our shop has been using Protractor for several years, it’s easy to learn and easy to use! And it’s great I can access it from my laptop wherever I go. Today I needed assistance with a quick issue setting up online suppliers and Isabelle had me fixed up in only a few minutes.”
“
“We have been in the automotive business for 30 years. Throughout that time we have constantly been on the lookout for advantages that will help us stand out among our competitors. Since we switched to Protractor we have not looked back. Protractor has streamlined our accounting procedures while still allowing us to track and project growth with a few short keystrokes. I would highly recommend this program to any business looking to increase productivity and profits.”
“
“When it was time to upgrade, I looked at all the systems available. Protractor was way out in front, with built-in features such as integrated labour guides and online parts ordering right on to the work order and into payables automatically, email reminders, technician time clock, fast estimating, keeping track of deferred work and prompting the Advisors for the next service. These service additions pay for the price of the software alone!”
“
“Other shop management software may be impressive, like a Ferrari or Lamborghini, but Protractor stands in a class of its own. It’s the Formula 1 of shop management systems—unmatched in performance and excellence.”
“
“We were looking for something more robust. From an owner’s standpoint, my favorite feature is the reporting capabilities. With all the dashboards and reports, the technician time tracking and the efficiency monitoring within each job is one of the best features of Protractor. My service advisors really like the work order layout, history, deferred work tabs, and analysis tab – you can maximize your gross profit per billed hour within each work order. It’s been a true game-changer!”
