REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- SHIFTMobility has teamed with Carfax to improve its
ShopLite™ mobile solution by becoming part of myCarfax®. The
ShopLite mobile app now includes Carfax® QuickVIN™ so independent
repair centers can check-in customers and retrieve vehicle
information by keying in the license plate number and state.
ShopLite Premium users get the added benefit of simply snapping a
photo of the license plate to initiate the check-in process.
"We are pleased to partner with Carfax to incorporate real-time
integration for license plate information lookup," said
Arvind Jain, SHIFTMobility
President. "Using the industry's first license plate scan and
decode feature through ShopLite Premium, shop owners will have
sophisticated vehicle knowledge, quicker estimates and faster
diagnoses of vehicle issues."
ShopLite is a fully mobile shop management solution that helps
shop owners and technicians handle everything from customer and
supplier relationships to getting parts inventory and price lists.
The addition of Carfax QuickVIN quickly displays the vehicle
identification number (VIN), vehicle engine information and
year/make/model details within ShopLite. Vehicle processing time is
reduced, helping users increase car count, avoid parts-ordering
errors, and make the best service and repair recommendations to
their customers.
The Carfax enhancements within ShopLite are available to
myCarfax Service Shops. Enrollment in myCarfax is free. With this
partnership, SHIFTMobility joins over 33,000 software providers and
service and repair locations that are myCarfax Service Shops.
