Shop management software for collision repair
The board your whiteboard was pretending to be.
You already pay for something that writes the estimate and gets you paid. What none of it tells you is where the car is right now, which is the only question anyone actually walks over to ask.
The week it goes sideways
Body, paint and assembly parts land in three separate waves — one global parts column hides which one you are stuck on.
One 'waiting on parts' column hides the problem
A car waiting on a bumper cover and a car waiting on a clip are not the same emergency. Carvikon splits the parts wait by phase — body, paint, assembly — so the column tells you which wave is late instead of just that something is.
The whiteboard stops being true by Thursday
Magnets get moved when someone remembers. By mid-week the wall and the shop disagree, and the wall is what the morning meeting runs on. A card moves when the work moves, from the floor, one-handed.
You are not replacing CCC, and you should not have to
Carvikon does not write estimates and does not touch your insurer workflow. It answers the question your estimating software was never built to answer, and costs a fraction of buying a second all-in-one to get it.
Your production board
9 columns, already named the way you talk.
Pick body shop in onboarding and this is the board that arrives. Not twelve blank columns to fill in — the stages this trade actually runs, in order, with repair orders on them from the first morning. Rename any of it afterwards; the names are yours, not ours.

One repair order is one card. It moves when the work moves — from a phone, on the floor, one-handed — and everyone looking at the board sees it move.
Questions body shops ask.
No, and it is not trying to. It runs alongside your estimating platform and answers the one question none of it answers: where the car is right now. It also costs a fraction of a second all-in-one.
Because body, paint and assembly parts land in three separate waves. One global parts column says something is late; a split one says which wave, and that is the difference between a phone call and a shrug.
It retires. Magnets get moved when someone remembers, and by Thursday the wall and the shop disagree. A card moves when the work moves, from the floor, and it is still true on Friday.
Yes. Everyone looks at the same live board from any device, so where a car is stops being a walk across the shop and starts being a glance.
