epyx solution streamlines repair job authorisations
A new solution by technology solutions provider epyx has been launched to negate the need to rekey data when authorising repair jobs.
The Authorisation and Invoice Interface enables dealers and repairers using the company’s 1link Service Network platform to import data automatically rather than having to retype.
This means that work can be authorised through the system, which is used by more than 8,500 businesses.
Tim Meadows, CCO at epyx, said: “We recently held meetings with our major dealer users, asking them what they would like to see changed about 1link Service Network, and removing the need for rekeying was repeatedly mentioned.
“As a result, we’re making the new product available to all our garage users free of charge. It provides the means to create, submit, gain authorisation and then invoice for work required on vehicles without rekeying into both 1link and their DMS.”
He continued: “For the last couple of years, we’ve been working on the most comprehensive rethink of 1link Service Network yet undertaken. Pilots with users began last year and have so far seen very strong feedback. It’s probably epyx’s biggest-ever project.
“The new version is very much designed to retain the familiar and successful approach to work authorisation that has been behind the widespread adoption of the platform, while bringing a whole range of new advantages. We’ll be releasing more details soon.”
