Repair Shop Software

DataAdvantage software helps you streamline your repair shop business.

The software was created on the shop floor where programmers interact daily with technicians: getting things done without a lot of fuss.

FREE TRIAL

Dashboard shows what's happening with technicians, vehicles, and parts.

Time Clock tracks technician time and repair notes to the work order.

A sophisticated inventory system with intelligent purchase recommendations.

DataAdvantage remembers filters and oil from previous PM Services and checks inventory - alerting the parts department.

Automated Emails remind customers when their PM Service or Annual Inspection are due - driving customer loyalty and repeat business.

Devices such as APUs, reefer units, boat engines, and cargo tanks keep their own serial number and repair history - even when they are moved to a new vehicle.

Quickly search work order or vehicle history to find pervious repairs and which inspections are due now.

No video pitch or sales presentation is a substitute for controlling the keyboard yourself. Click on the Free Trial button at the top of the screen to check out DataAdvantage at your own pace. No credit card or interaction with a salesperson is necessary for your free trial.

At the same time, if you would like to talk to us, we would love to talk with you. If you have questions, we would be glad to answer them. Please email us at Sales@DataAdvantage.net and we will respond to your questions via email or setup a time for a video or voice call - whatever you prefer.

ABOUT

DataAdvantage's Story

We spent months searching for affordable software with the power to run our heavy-duty truck repair businesses (LHM Tank, Inc. and Walker's Truck & Trailer Service). In the end, we created DataAdvantage. We are delighted with the way it enables our businesses to prosper and grow. We hope it does the same for your business.

We believe software should serve people and streamline activity; it should not create a burden for people to feed the system. We found software companies to be dismissive of our concerns. So, we created DataAdvantage by listening to people who use it every day.

DataAdvantage was created on the shop floor where programmers interact daily with technicians: getting things done - without a lot of fuss. We think you will find DataAdvantage both simple to use and as sophisticated as you care to push it.

We also believe you own your data. You can download it at any time for free with a push of a button.

Our Values are the same for all of our companies and they are a good way to get to know how we are wired:

  • Integrity: We do the right thing even when nobody is watching.
  • People: People are created by God and will last forever. People are more important than anything we work on or the money we make. Every person is worthy of our respect.
  • Praise: We are quick to acknowledge the good we see in other people, and we celebrate their success with them.
  • Servant Leadership: Leaders equip, empower, encourage, correct, persevere, and protect. They do not lord their power over others.
  • Creating: We make things and make things better.
