Shop management software helps auto repair shops keep track of everything, from customer appointments to inventory and vehicle repairs. Integrating your payment system with your shop management software makes processing payments fast and smooth, while reducing the chances of errors. Here’s how it works:

• Shop Management Systems (SMS): Connect your payment processing with top auto repair and shop management platforms like:
  • Auto/Mate: Auto/Mate helps auto repair shops manage inventory, work orders, and customer relationships. With Payment Nerds’ integration, you can process payments directly through Auto/Mate, cutting down on the need to switch between systems. A unique feature of Auto/Mate is its ability to handle parts ordering and inventory management. Integrating payments with this feature means that once a repair is completed and parts are used, you can immediately process the payment without any manual intervention. This saves time and ensures the payment process is accurate and up-to-date.

     

  • Autosoft: This is a popular platform for managing customer data, appointments, and sales for auto dealerships. It’s known for its robust customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities. When integrated with Payment Nerds, it allows you to securely process payments directly within the platform. Autosoft has the ability to track service histories for each customer. Integrating payments helps you automatically update the customer’s transaction history, making it easier to provide a seamless experience when they return for services or make additional purchases.

     

  • VinSolutions: VinSolutions is a CRM platform widely used by dealerships to track leads, manage service appointments, and follow up with customers. What sets VinSolutions apart is its deep integration with marketing tools, helping dealerships keep track of customer preferences and communication history. With Payment Nerds’ integration, you can automatically sync payment data with customer records in VinSolutions. This means that not only do you have a clear payment record, but you also get a complete customer history, which helps you provide personalized services and target marketing efforts more effectively.

     

  • DealerSocket: DealerSocket is a leading software suite used by auto dealerships to manage inventory, CRM, and sales operations. One of its standout features is its ability to track customer interactions across multiple touchpoints, helping dealerships understand customer behavior. By integrating Payment Nerds, you can instantly process payments and connect them to each customer’s record in DealerSocket. This integration makes it easy to track not just payments but also the history of sales and services, providing you with better insights for upselling or targeting repeat customers.

     

• CRM Integration: A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is key to keeping track of all your customers’ information, interactions, and transactions. By integrating your payment system with your CRM, you can automatically sync payment data, making it easier to understand customer behavior and improve your relationship with them.
  • Dealertrack: Is a robust platform for dealerships that manages everything from inventory to financing and compliance. It has seamless connections to financial institutions for loan and lease processing. Integrating Payment Nerds with Dealertrack means that once a customer’s financing is approved, the payment can be processed and recorded immediately. This eliminates the need for manual payment entry, speeds up the transaction process, and ensures accurate records for reporting and compliance.

     

  • Reynolds & Reynolds: Offers comprehensive dealership management software that covers everything from accounting to customer service and inventory management. A unique feature of Reynolds & Reynolds is its focus on service lane management, helping dealerships track repair orders, parts, and customer vehicles. Integrating Payment Nerds with Reynolds & Reynolds enables you to automatically record payments made for service or vehicle sales directly into the system. This improves workflow by reducing the need for duplicate data entry and ensures all records are synchronized for both customer and financial tracking.

     

• Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems: Ensure seamless in-store and online transactions and reduce errors and improve efficiency.
  • When POS systems like those used by automotive businesses are integrated with Payment Nerds, every sale and service transaction is processed in real-time, reducing errors and improving the customer experience. With fewer manual steps involved, businesses can focus on customer service rather than administrative tasks.

     

• Accounting & Invoicing Software: Keeping your accounting up to date can be time-consuming, but by integrating with your accounting software, Payment Nerds makes it easier. This integration automates the process of reconciling payments, creating invoices, and managing financial records.
  • For example, if you’re using tools like QuickBooks or other accounting software, we can automatically send payment information to those systems, saving your team hours of manual data entry. This also reduces the chance of errors, making your financial reporting much smoother.
