Workshop Optimization 
Reduce stress. Boost efficiency.

Streamline PDI, QC, Upfitting, and Repairs with Intelligent Workshop Management

Vehicle processing centers face rising complexity: 

  • fluctuating volumes, 
  • customer-specific vehicle configurations, 
  • and tight delivery windows. 

INFORM’s Workshop Management solution brings intelligence, visibility, and precision to every workshop task - from PDI and QC inspections to accessory installation, refurbishment, and damage repairs.

Intelligent Workshop Optimization for Higher Throughput

INFORM’s Workshop Optimization module digitizes and intelligently optimizes every step of vehicle processing. By applying advanced algorithms, operators typically achieve up to 20% higher efficiency across workshop and PDI activities.

Managing vehicle preparation is complex: limited and shifting capacities, multiple tasks per vehicle, and varying skill or part requirements all put pressure on planning. At the same time, customer deadlines and service-level expectations must be met reliably.

Purpose-built for both new and used vehicle logistics, the solution calculates the optimal task sequence for every vehicle, maximizing resource utilization while respecting labor and parts constraints. Plans are continuously recalculated in real time to reflect operational changes - ensuring performance, punctuality, and transparency at scale.
