12.00pm – Productivity and Profitability – How to maximise returns from your current resources

Before you can grow successfully you need to have a sustainable, scalable, reliable, and more importantly, profitable business model. So many businesses want to grow to make more profit, yet there is more profit in what they already do, but the opportunity leaks away throughout the repair process. We discuss how you can get more profit from what you do now, without needing to invest what it would take to grow, meaning you get the desired increases more easily and much quicker.

This session is a must for any business owner or manager who wants to make more profit from what they do now or wants to mitigate the effect of reduced work volumes.

We show how you can get started or how you can accelerate your digitisation journey, take away a plan for the next steps and benefit from future proofing your business.

This session is an absolute most for any business owner or manager who wants to get away from manual spreadsheets, T cards and other analogue processes and spend more time repairing cars and future proofing their business by ensuring they remain connected to the industry and the customer.
