Karmak Blaze: Blaze
Independent repair shops, small truck and trailer dealers, warehouse distributors, bus dealers and construction equipment dealers are named as users.
Modules cover parts with mobile inventory control and barcode scanning, service with shop-floor workflows on smartphones and technician clocking, accounting with a general ledger and payables and receivables, sales with unit inventory and quotes, and lease and rental with contracts, asset tracking and usage billing.
Other features include multi-location visibility, NextGen Scheduling that connects technician availability to repair orders and dashboards a user can build without outside tools. Karmak says go-live can use simple spreadsheet imports and it supplies migration and training.
It maintains integrations for warranty claims and parts ordering with a truck manufacturer.
