Frequently Asked Questions
What does DockMaster's service management cover?
The full service lifecycle: estimates with digital approval and deposits, conversion to work orders, technician scheduling, labor time tracking, parts and special orders, photo and video documentation from the field, warranty claims, and billing — all in one system.
How does AI-powered scheduling work?
The AI Scheduling Assistant analyzes unscheduled operations and recommends technician and time-slot assignments based on availability, workload, and priority. Your service writers review and accept or reject each recommendation — the AI assists, your team decides.
Can technicians log time from the field?
Yes. With DockMaster Mobile, technicians clock in and out of work order operations from their phone — even offline. The office watches active clock-ins live, with elapsed versus standard hours, and geofencing can verify on-site presence.
Can customers approve estimates electronically?
Yes. Estimates go out for digital signature and deposit collection, and customers can approve them from the customer portal or an email link. Approved estimates convert to work orders in one click.
Does service integrate with parts inventory?
Yes. Parts used on operations come straight from inventory with cost tracking, pick lists, and special order management — plus ARI PartSmart integration for catalog lookups.
How are warranty claims handled?
Create claims from service history, track status on a monitoring dashboard, and generate manufacturer exports — with multi-manufacturer support for dealers servicing several brands.
