For boats and workshops

Requests arrive with the boat or car details already collected, in the customer's language, and with an appointment proposed.

In a nutshell

In a workshop, the person who knows is under an engine, not on the phone. Calls are returned late and with half the information: which boat, which engine, where it is moored.

In season, many customers write in German or English and want a reply the same day. An assistant that asks what the mechanic needs to know and proposes a date leaves the job ready to confirm.

Example

Friday at 21:10, with the workshop closed

Example conversation. The assistant always introduces itself as the virtual assistant.

Guten Abend, können Sie nächste Woche den Motor meines Bootes warten? Es liegt in Port d'Andratx.
Virtual assistantGuten Abend! Ich bin der virtuelle Assistent der Werkstatt. Für die Motorwartung habe ich Dienstag oder Donnerstag frei. Um welches Boot und welchen Motor geht es?
Segelboot, 10 Meter, Dieselmotor. Dienstag passt.
Virtual assistantDanke. Dienstag ist vorgemerkt. Der Mechaniker bestätigt den Termin morgen früh und schickt Ihnen den Kostenvoranschlag.

What we set up in a workshop or a boating business

  1. Complete requests

    It asks for the model, engine, length or registration and where the boat or car is, and puts it in writing.

  2. Appointments and alerts

    It proposes a date from your diary and alerts the workshop, which confirms with a reply.

  3. Photos and documents

    It asks for photos of the fault or the part, so the mechanic arrives knowing what the job is.

  4. Quotes

    It sends the quote you prepare and collects the acceptance in writing.

  5. Job status

    It answers “How is mine going?” with the status you set, without interrupting anyone.

  6. Charter and trips

    For boat trips, it gives places, prices and what is included, and takes the booking.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the assistant quote prices for repairs?

Only the ones you give it, such as the price of a service or of a workshop hour. For anything else it collects the details and says the workshop will prepare the quote.

Is it suitable for a car garage?

Yes, it works the same way: it collects the registration, model and fault, proposes an appointment and tells the customer when the car is ready.

And for a charter company?

Yes. In the demo on this page you can talk to the assistant of a sailing-trip company.

Does it work with my workshop software?

It depends on the software. We check before giving you a price; if it cannot be connected, the assistant works with a separate calendar and list.
