 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.

Levi Duff in Security 3,397 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.
