Paint and Materials Reporting

Body shops purchase many items from their distributors and jobbers – paint and materials, shop supplies, equipment, stock parts and much more.  Most shops are not properly coding their costs to the correct General Ledger (GL) accounts.  Without accurately tracking your costs, it is impossible to know what your paint and material profitability really is!

• Are you making money, losing money or not optimizing your profits on Paint and Materials?
• How does your paint and materials performance compare against your other locations (for MSOs), your business council, or across other comparison categories, shop sales?

The Collision Advice Legacy Group Paint and Materials Reporting can help you answer these questions!

Benefits of Reporting

• Visibility – See exactly how each product is coded and what purchases are included in each category
• Detail – The Collision Advice Legacy Group Paint and Materials reports allow you to see sub categories so you aren’t just measuring your Allied purchases, but against your abrasives used in body, feather prime and block, paint and detail.
