What it is
Find it by anything you can remember
Search across customers, units, jobs, parts and invoices at once. A serial, a plate, a surname, half an invoice number.
What it does for a dealer
In practice
- One search box, not one per module.
- Serial, VIN or HIN, whichever you have.
- Faster than asking the person who might remember.

What you can do with it
In a dealership the thing you are looking for is usually half remembered, and that is the test a search has to pass.
- Search on part of a serial, VIN or HIN.
- Find a unit by make, model, stock number or the customer who owns it.
- Find a job by what was done, not just by number.
- Search parts by supplier code as well as your own.
- Find a customer by phone number, business name or the machine they brought in.
- Search across jobs, invoices and quotes rather than one at a time.
- Filter rather than scroll, on lists that get long fast.
- Get to the record in a few keystrokes while the customer is still on the phone.
This is a small feature that decides how the system feels. A dealership with three hundred units on the floor and ten years of history lives or dies on it.
