Customer Peter Reszczynski Talks about LeanTec

 Peter Reszczynski – Fix Auto Chicago   

When LeanTec was introduced to me, I immediately brought our Distributor into the meetings to discuss the system.  I knew this Solution would be good for them as well as their other shops.

We were one of the first shops in Chicago to have LeanTec.  And we quickly saw benefits from organizing and streamlining products.  This controlled access of products has brought down our consumption.

In addition, my Distributor and I benefited from having automated replenishment of our orders.  Our Distributor Account Manager no longer needs to come in and order our products. And we don’t have to worry about being overstocked or run out of products.

I’d recommend LeanTec to any shops looking to better organize products and control consumption of Paint and Materials.

Meet Levi Duff

Diane Yandell in Employee Spotlight 1,988 comments

Levi is our in-house inventor—an interest he’s had most of his life.  He says he’s always liked to take things apart, put them back together and build new things. And he’s good at it. When a large distributor with 26 shops asked for a solution to their disappearing materials, Levi designed the first version of our Stationary Cabinet.  From there, he designed our mobile carts and the smart lock for inventory rooms.

If you ask people about Levi, they’ll tell you that he likes to help people—the neighborhood kids who need a Dad’s attention, the friend who needs help fixing his car, the kids who need coaching in baseball.  It’s that quality that makes him a natural at helping new customers install their equipment—it’s what makes him care about people at the shop being trained to be successful with LeanTec and what makes him patient as he walks folks through each question they may have. Levi is humble—and wasn’t comfortable talking about himself, but I told him people would like to know him better—so, being Levi, he helped me.

1.  How long have you been @LeanTec?

From the beginning.

2.  What are your day-to-day responsibilities?

As a customer representative, I have the initial discussions with new customers to determine their inventory solution needs & then I facilitate cabinet installations—both on and off site.  I also help with any questions current customers may be having.  I design & maintain the hardware, design & build installation kits, and have been helping with upgrades to our software.

3 Ways Technology is Impacting Distribution

Diane Yandell in Distribution, Technology 39,011 comments

Technology is all around us, and it’s changing the world we live in. It’s already impacting the Collision Repair Industry. From crash avoidance technology to autonomous vehicles, technology is making its mark on the automotive industry.  All indications are that this trend will continue to gain momentum. Not only will technology impact the way vehicles are repaired, it’ll change how products are distributed.

We’ve all heard the phrase: The definition of insanity is doing something over & over again and expecting different results.  We know it’s a true statement, yet we persist in doing things the same way year after year—hoping we’ll make more money and operate more efficiently.

Why Security Matters – The Truth Exposed

Levi Duff in Security 3,396 comments

Security is everywhere in our lives. We lock up everything, from our houses and cars to our cell phones. We lock these things up because we care about them. If I told you that you left your house unlocked, I would be introducing some level of anxiety to your day.

The same holds true in your shop. Chances are, you lock up at night because you want to protect what you’ve built—your assets. Why not protect it during the day as well?  Collision Centers have a variety of products used to repair vehicles from fillers and glues to clips and fasteners. Some of these products are recoverable; all of them are expensive. Securing your inventory only makes sense. But, security isn’t just physical, it’s also psychological, and doing it wrong can be costly to your business.
