As auto dealers meet at the NADA Show, Repairify announced two upgrades aimed at helping them with vehicle reconditioning and diagnostics.

The auto service/repair technology and data provider has unveiled its next-generation Repair360 platform, featuring three core modules — Workflow Management, Technician Module and Vendor Management — designed to enable dealerships to manage reconditioning and used vehicle turn times as well as costs.

The Workflow Management module is built to manage core reconditioning operations from trade-in evaluation and diagnostic scans through final touch-up paint. The Technician Module is designed to track how long tasks should take versus how long they’re actually taking in real time and identify bottlenecks that slow throughput.

Vendor Management lets dealers and vendors operate in the same digital workflow so nothing falls through the cracks, reducing confusion and communication issues that can slow the process.

Repair360’s new features include an integrated chat function and automated repair order write back in Dealertrack, allowing messages with photos and attachments to be sent internally between departments and externally with vendors to add visibility go the reconditioning process, Repairify said. When recon work is completed, repair orders are written back to Dealertrack.

The company said the systems operate in sync for more efficient vehicle management and to eliminate duplicate vehicle portfolios in the dealership database.

Repairify said Repair360 replaces manual processes with trackable digital workflows to streamline communications, provide real-time tracking among departments and vendors and maximize profits. The technology allows dealers to measure days-to-line step-by-step, and track technician labor, sublet vendor costs and parts costs to keep gross profits predictable.

BlueDriver MAX integrates with CDK, VINCUE, PAVE

Repairify also announced new integrations and upgrades to its BlueDriver MAX diagnostic tool, designed to provide high-volume scans and diagnostics for auction houses, dealerships, fleets and inspection businesses.

The updates include an enhanced diagnostic report and improved coverage of communication protocols and connectivity. The company said BlueDriver MAX delivers deeper analytics and is optimized for cost reduction and revenue generating opportunities, as well as offering administrative controls that provide oversight into work being conducted in the field.

BlueDriver Max’s new integrations with dealership software providers CDK and VINCUE and vehicle inspection technology provider PAVE seek to positioned to connect and speed workflows while improving operational efficiency.

The integration with CDK lets dealers align diagnostic scan results with common repair data in the CDK Vehicle Inventory Suite, Repairify said, while VINCUE customers will be able to use BlueDriver MAX to pinpoint repair costs before vehicle acquisition.

The partnership with PAVE combines its automated inspection systems, which use visual artificial intelligence to detect and grade damage, with BlueDriver MAX’s diagnostic reports, a mix designed to go beyond cosmetic condition to include VIN-specific mechanical and electronic health within minutes during standard intake or appraisal.

Repairify’s Cole Reiken, managing director of BlueDriver, said the integrations deliver “powerful, differentiated value” to the company’s customers.

“Expanding our ecosystem with new integrations such as CDK and VINCUE deepens our capabilities and allows customers to use BlueDriver MAX directly within the appraisal and inventory systems they rely on every day,” he said. “Adding PAVE as an integration partner opens an entirely new opportunity by combining visual AI with advanced diagnostic intelligence, bringing the industry closer to a complete, end-to-end vehicle inspection.”
