Shop-Ware, a shop management system provider, is partnering with Voyomotive, a provider of telematics technology for shops and fleets. Shops can now use VOYO cellular telematics controllers to ingest vehicle data remotely into their Shop-Ware system, including service-related PIDs, scan tool level diagnostics and third-party predictive analytics.
The VOYO controllers provide access to embedded vehicle data not available from standard telematics systems, according to the companies.
When a condition requiring service occurs, a repair record is automatically created within Shop-Ware for approval by a manager. Service information and alerts include odometer value, low remaining oil life and “Check Engine Light” status.
Additionally, Voyomotive’s Scan Pro feature reads manufacturer codes from all vehicle controllers and includes symptom byte and freeze frame data. The company also offers third-party analytics, such as Goodyear’s Sightline for tire health and Intelematics’ FailSAFE to predict battery failure.
The VOYO controllers are plug-and-play and automatically populate data into a user’s Shop-Ware account.
“Our new partnership with Shop-Ware realizes the potential offered by telematics, including improved automation and supply chain management, lower operating costs, and increased shop revenue,” said Peter Yorke, co-founder and CEO of Voyomotive.
