Protractor - Shop Management Software

Protractor Software Inc. is an auto repair shop management software development company with deep roots in the automotive aftermarket. The principals of Protractor Software have been involved in the automotive aftermarket for over 40 years. All management staff has owned their own repair shops and are licensed technicians. This provides years of experience and knowledge to leverage against the development of auto repair software.

Protractor is a full featured, fully integrated, real time shop management program. The Software is a very robust and scalable product and can be used in both single location and multi-location operations. Whether you are an auto repair shop, tire store, heavy duty shop, transmission shop or any type of service business that sells parts and labor – Protractor has the solution.

Protractor Software is highly focused on customer service by design. If you promote vehicle maintenance and outstanding services to your customers, Protractor can empower your service advisor to never miss another sales opportunity. Protractor Software also focuses on shop work flow management to enable high levels of communication from the customer to the service advisor, from the service advisor to the technician, and back again.

Because the software is auto repair shop and tire shop focused it integrates very industry specific functionality. Automotive repair and service requires fast estimating features with tight integration to online suppliers, labor guides, service intervals and repair information. Protractor integrates to most major parts suppliers by using AConneX, IAP, CAPP, NAPA, CARQUEST, WORLDPAC, Wrenchead and Nexpart protocols. This provides integration to major independent suppliers and chains like NAPA, CARQUEST, O'Reilly's, Benson, Lordco, Alliance, and more. Mitchell's labor guide and repair is tightly integrated to the work order system as well as service intervals that provide the tools to recommend jobs and repair problems on a whole new level. Tire Shops can make use of integrated tire fitment guides, custom catalogs and the ability to have an integrated web store for their wholesale customers to order from. Add electronic price updates to the tire catalog and a tire shop's greatest struggles are alleviated.
