Workshop KPI software owners can defend in a Monday meeting

If the dashboard cannot explain ARO or efficiency, staff will not change behaviour. Workshop Wrench ties owner widgets to board and invoice reality with formulas documented in product theory.

Primary search intent: auto repair shop KPIs ARO car count

Buyer problem

What shops feel without a real OS

Black-box scores and vanity charts train owners to manage by gut again.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

FAQ schema included for search. Updated when ship status changes.

What is ARO?+

Are charts fully live?+

KPI summary tiles are live. Chart series are a live + mock hybrid with explicit source labels — never marketed as Connected warehouse BI.
