The job

Technicians type plain language prompts into ShopCoach AI, the AI built into the ShopView shop management platform, and it generates detailed work orders. The firm also records its internal meetings and sales calls and uses ShopView AI tools to analyse them for coaching points.

Tool: ShopCoach AI in ShopView

What happened

Building a 20 or 30 line work order fell from 20 minutes or more to 30 seconds.

The CEO estimates the return on the firm ShopView subscription at about 20 times its cost.

Before you believe it

Andy override: CEO Fabian Bonjean founded ShopView and still runs and sells it, so this is an insider source. The ROI of about 20 times is his own estimate for the whole platform, not only the AI. The work order times describe what the AI can do rather than a measurement at Foothills. BDC gives the size only as more than 100 employees.
