Meet Levi Duff

in Employee Spotlight 1,996 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.

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.
