6 Reasons Mobile Crews Pick Mobile Service Sync Over Tekmetric
One Click Puts Each Van's Day in Order
Tekmetric schedules work inside a shop, where there is no route to plan. A mobile crew's day is the route.
Drag jobs onto a tech, then one click sequences that tech's stops on real Mapbox drive times. Every van's stops sit on one map, and moving a stop to another van is one drag. When the margin is the drive between driveways, this is the screen that pays for the software.

It Keeps Working With No Signal
Tekmetric's answer to a lost internet connection is to tether to a phone. The tech app here just keeps working.
The day's jobs download to the phone. In a parking garage or a dead zone, job status, inspections with photos, mark complete, line items, cash and check payments and the time clock all still work, then sync when the signal comes back, stamped with the time they were tapped.
A garage level with no bars. The job still gets done, and the office sees it at 9:12, not whenever the van drove out. Online Booking That Knows Your Day
At Tekmetric, online booking, reminders and review requests come with the Marketing add-on at $345 a month per shop. Here they are on every plan.
Customers book on your hosted page or a widget on your own site. They pick the package and the time and enter their plate. Open slots follow your hours, your service area, and how many techs and vans are working, so nobody books a time you cannot reach.

Your Service Area, Enforced
A shop's customers come to it. Yours have to be somewhere a van can reach, and the booking page should know where that is.
Set the area by ZIP list or by radius. A booking from outside it is stopped on the booking page and flagged in dispatch, before a van drives forty minutes for one oil change.

Fleet Accounts, Built In
Fleets are where mobile crews make their steadiest money, so fleet accounts are built in from the first plan.
Each fleet carries its own pricing, its PO-required rule and net-15 or net-30 terms, applied every time it books. On Growth and Pro the fleet manager gets a portal: every vehicle, what is coming due, service requests that land with your dispatcher, and a roster they can export.
