Vitara Commerce has introduced Bookar, e-commerce technology designed to power websites for both independent auto shops and corporate clients, with tailored options for national chains, networks, franchisors and marketplaces.
Bookar is billed as a comprehensive website solution that includes e-commerce capabilities and online appointment scheduling.
Its Smart Service Calculator calculates and displays prices for various services, including engine oil and filter changes, brake pad and disc replacements, battery replacements, tires, and more. Bookar also supports other pricing configurations, such as “get a quote” and “canned jobs,” and integration with PartsTech allows the Smart Service Calculator to access parts and tire pricing from preferred suppliers.
Additionally, through Bookar’s dashboard, shops can tailor their services by setting supplier preferences, selecting favored brands, and customizing labor rates and markup settings.
Bookar’s shop management system integrator synchronizes existing customers and their vehicles. Website bookings are automatically generated within the shop management system and linked to the corresponding customer profiles. This integration is designed to reduce the burden of phone calls for common services that customers would prefer to schedule online.
Integrations are available with NAPA TRACS and other select SMS providers.
