Karmak Today

Presentation with Bill Healy, President/CEO
Wednesday — 1:00-2:00 p.m.

Many exciting developments have occurred since last year’s conference. Karmak President/CEO Bill Healy will touch on topics that are of interest to all. In the technology portion of the presentation, software updates and requested enhancements and changes will be covered, as well as long-standing features that you may have overlooked. These technology topics include exciting new mobile applications that will simplify your parts and service jobs; a new resource scheduling module; the ability for you to instantly notify your customers of parts and service completions with Client Talk; the new Truck Specifications interface for ProfitMaster which lets you pull vehicle information directly from the manufacturer; an impressive array of chart and graph display options for RPM; and the new password-protection security feature and the ability to capture invoices with our state-of-the-art KOLD software.

In addition to the technology overview, a focus will be put on services, customer feedback, and new approaches to more effectively bring information to you. We’ve been listening, and because of responses we’ve received, topics such as customer committees and survey results will be discussed. Our emphasis on providing as much information as possible has led to the creation of quick reference guides, process flow documents and corresponding process flow charts for ProfitMaster modules, with tutorials scheduled to follow. Other customer-centered services that will be highlighted are Customer Confidential and Help Desk Live—two products designed to provide the information you need when you need it. In addition, information regarding the successful implementation of the Sales Management Steering Committee and the progress we’ve made will be presented.

Don’t miss this comprehensive company overview designed to keep you up-to-date.
