When service moves beyond the shop, the repair order needs to move with it.

Technicians may be working in the field, but they still need access to the information and communication that keep a repair moving.

Karmak Mobile Service+ helps extend that workflow beyond the shop with tools for capturing photos and videos, communicating with customers, managing digital approvals, and keeping that activity connected to the repair order in Fusion.

Less back-and-forth. Better documentation. More visibility into the work happening in the field.

Inventory on the shelf isn’t always an asset. Sometimes, it’s cash sitting still.

Slow-moving and excess inventory can quietly tie up working capital while teams may still struggle with shortages, inconsistent stock levels, or unnecessary purchasing across locations.

Better inventory management starts with visibility: understanding what you have, where it is, how quickly it’s moving, and where buying decisions may need to change.

The goal isn’t simply to carry less inventory. It’s to make sure the inventory you carry is working for your operation.

Do people really fear change?

Maybe not.

In the latest episode of Sips & Software, Marv Moreno, Karmak’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, shares a different perspective: resistance to change is often less about the change itself and more about the uncertainty that comes with it.

Where do I fit? What will this mean for my role? Will what I know still be valuable?

Those are important questions for leaders to recognize when introducing new technology, processes, or ways of working.

🎙️ Hear Marv Moreno, MBA and Jamie Hollinger dig into change management, leadership, technology adoption, and what it takes to bring people along through change in the latest episode of Sips & Software.

More service throughput doesn’t always require more capacity.

Sometimes, the opportunity is in removing the friction that slows work already in progress.
Delayed approvals. Technicians stepping away from the job for updates. Advisors chasing status. Parts and service waiting on one another.

Individually, they may seem like small delays. Across a busy service operation, they add up.

Improving throughput starts with understanding where work is getting stuck and finding ways to keep people, information, and repair orders moving.

Service is moving beyond the shop. Is your technology moving with it?

In this clip from Sips & Software, Michelle talks about one of the biggest shifts she’s seeing across the industry: more service teams taking the work directly to their customers.
