INFORM Workshop Optimization offers a modular approach to first digitize and then optimize your vehicle processing with intelligent algorithms. With this approach, you can achieve an average 20% increase in workshop and PDI efficiency.

Limited capacity that varies by shift, multiple interdependent tasks per vehicle, and varying skill and parts requirements make vehicle preparation planning a very complex task. Deadlines and customer service level agreements must be met without compromising efficiency.

Workshop Optimization software is designed specifically for vehicle logistics - both new and used. It uses mathematical algorithms to calculate the optimal process sequence for each vehicle. It maximizes utilization, helps meet customer deadlines, and accounts for labor and parts capacity constraints. The optimization result is constantly recalculated in real time based on changes in operations and planning.
