Do you manage maintenance, repairs or after-sales service?

Whether you are a manufacturer, installer or service company, optimize your customer repair follow-up. 

With the "Repair Orders" app, you can create after-sales service orders, track the status of your repairs, and control product stock movements.

Activating the app adds a new"repair orders" menu in the app's"Production" tab, so you can manage your repairs and after-sales service.

1. Creating repair orders

To create, print and send a repair order, go to the "Repair orders" module in the "Production" tab.

The application lets you quickly compose and edit your repair order using data already stored on your Virtual Office:

  • Your products in the catalog
  • Your company details
  • The contact details of your customers/prospects, in your sales contacts

Your printed repair order contains all the legal information required on a commercial proposal.

Repair orders are automatically numbered and dated.

The creation of a repair order, like that of a quotation, invoice, purchase order or delivery note, is a two-step process.

  • First enter the characteristics of your sales document and your contact details, then validate.
  • Then enter the list of products on loan and the quantities.

2. Transforming repair orders

The repair order can be transformed into :

  • Delivery note 
  • Invoice

Beforehand, the application can also be used to transform a quotation into a repair order.
With just one click, and without having to re-enter any information, you have your repair document ready for processing.
