Mobile Service Sync vs. Urable

Urable decodes a VIN through CARFAX on its Pro and Enterprise plans and does not list a plate lookup. Here the customer types their plate on the booking page.

Type a plate and state and the VIN, year, make, model, trim and engine fill in, and a VIN decodes the same way. It works in the office, in the tech app, and on your booking page, where the customer types their own plate. Oil weight and capacity are saved on the vehicle, so the next visit starts with them.

Urable's online booking starts on its $120 Pro plan. Ours is 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.

At Urable, two-way texting is a $35 a month add-on below Enterprise, and without it customers cannot reply.

Two-way texting threaded into each customer, registered for A2P 10DLC, with photos both ways. 1,000 texts a month on Core, 5,000 on Growth, 10,000 on Pro.

Urable's inventory keeps an on-hand quantity per product. Here every van has its own count.

Oil, filters and parts are counted per van and per shop location, come off the van's count when the job is completed, and the tech app shows what is on board with a restock request.

Dealers and fleets book many vehicles at once, on terms, with a PO and a manager who wants to see them all.

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.

Fleet lots and parking garages lose signal. The tech app here keeps working when they do.

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.
