Hunter Engineering announces inspection equipment integration with PBS Systems
ST. LOUIS – Hunter Engineering has announced a new integration of its unmanned inspection equipment with dealership management software (DMS) supplier PBS Systems, offering dealerships opportunities for streamlined processes, enhanced customer retention and optimized profits.
The new partnership allows service providers to attach digital inspection results directly to a service order, enabling seamless conversations with customers on vehicle alignment and tread depth status.
Specialized alignment and tire service operation codes can be transferred directly onto the repair order, providing full transparency to the customer for increased trust.
Additionally, Hunter Quick Tread® Edge results can be used to populate tire wear inspections. PBS users utilizing the Tire Storage feature can use Quick Tread® Edge data to populate tire diameter and remaining tread depth with a single click.
In seconds, Hunter’s Quick Check® Drive autonomous inspection system provides accurate and detailed alignment and tire tread measurements as a vehicle drives through the service lane, said Hunter Inspection Product Manager Mike Brecht. “Importing that data into the PBS systems service advisors are already using will helps dealerships sell more of those opportunities.”
“With the combined efforts of PBS and Hunter, a new level of digital service has been achieved,” said Lynn McNeill, Senior Vice President, Sales at PBS Systems. “Our v10 service software now incorporates Hunter’s alignment and tread data, providing consumers in the service drive with a comprehensive presentation, including pictures and video.”
