Displays the day’s workshop appointments in real time on a television screen in the dealership waiting room.
A chime sound announces the next vehicle to be attended, and the TV screen updates to highlight the customer's name and vehicle details. Customers can see how their service appointment moves up on the board in real-time.
The Appointment Board can work in sync with DealerTablet (tablet application for vehicle check-in) and can integrate with the dealer management system (DMS) used by the dealership.
The Appointment Board (also known as a Greeter Board) can be customized with the dealer’s logo and with colors based on the brands they sell.
