What VERA does

The office work, off your plate

A broken fridge is urgent for the customer. These are the spots where they lose patience.

Going out without the model number

The tech arrives and the part could have been checked ahead. VERA asks for the model and serial in the first reply.

Arrival windows that drift

Customers take a morning off for you. VERA offers real windows from the tech calendar and drafts a notice when one moves.

Quotes written back at the shop

The customer is ready to say yes while the tech is still there. VERA drafts the quote from the diagnosis for an on-the-spot accept.

Parts orders that go silent

Customers wait days for a part and hear nothing. VERA lists jobs waiting on parts and drafts a status update for each.

Return trips not booked

The part arrives and sits on a shelf. VERA proposes the return window as soon as you mark it received.

Diagnostic fees left uncollected

When the customer declines the repair, the diagnostic should still be billed. VERA drafts that invoice too.
