Workstation messaging
Wouldn't it be awesome to have messaging between workstations/users? Some techs/service advisors/managers are far apart from each other or separated by walls seems like it would be a good option. Even the ancient shop management systems from the 90s we used to use had that option!

Re: Workstation messaging
You can have that today using Message Manager (text messaging) which is part of Propack. This is a third part integrated solution for texting, reporting and lube sticker printing. If you need or want some of those features, you may want to look at it. You can chat with the whole team at once or to individuals. Message bubbles pop up on workstations and notifications on tablets if you opt for Mobile Manager.priorityauto1 wrote:Wouldn't it be awesome to have messaging between workstations/users?

Re: Workstation messaging
So we have text messaging in shopkey. Can we use it to communicate workstation to workstation? If so, how? When I try to send a text to our dedicated texting number it says it's not allowed.

MessageCenter from M1/SK doesn't support this; MessagePro from BOT does.BERGMANS1 wrote:So we have text messaging in shopkey. Can we use it to communicate workstation to workstation? If so, how? When I try to send a text to our dedicated texting number it says it's not allowed.

Re: Workstation messaging
Will this ever be a part of the "normal" Manager SE program, or just in "upgrades"?

Re: Workstation messaging
MessageCenter is established with it's own product codes, etc. The current promo is $29 purchased with new Manager SE subscription and $39 month as a later add-on. This is the plan for now for the near-term at least.Rich wrote:Will this ever be a part of the "normal" Manager SE program, or just in "upgrades"?
