Ready for the floor
Set up the shop essentials
Set the shop profile, team access, customers, templates, estimating connection, and capacity.
Switching to AutoHound
Switch without stopping the shop
AutoHound creates your shop in seconds and emails you the setup link.
Complete the guided checklist without stopping the shop.
Guided shop setup
Essentials first. The rest when you are ready.
Your shop can be up and running in an afternoon.
Finish when ready
Add the shop extras
Connect reviews, insurers, the Daily Digest, QuickBooks, notifications, shared devices, and PINs.
Help when you want it
Guide plus consultation time
Use the searchable in-product help guide. Four onboarding consultation hours are included.
Team access
Add staff by phone, email, or both
Give each employee the right role without requiring a work email. Personal PINs keep work attributed correctly on shared shop devices.
What stays
Keep estimating where you do today
Estimators keep writing in CCC ONE, Mitchell, Audatex, or another system that exports EMS or XML. Closed repair history stays there, and QuickBooks Online remains the accounting record.
What moves
Bring active work into AutoHound
Import the customer book only if wanted, create the active ROs the shop needs, and bring in current estimates or supplements. Run production, parts, messages, payments, and reporting from the connected RO.
