By partnering with Zapmoto, the dealership implemented a high-efficiency logistics system that resulted in unprecedented growth in service capacity and a massive surge in Repair Order (RO) value.
The Challenge: Maximizing High-Value P&D Customers

The Results: Doubled Trips and a $1.2 Million Annual Revenue Windfall
The integration of Zapmoto drove exponential growth, demonstrating exceptional gains in operational efficiency and financial performance.
