Questions, answered

Does it change anything in CDK or QuickBooks?

No - WebRun reads data and posts a report only. It never modifies any record in your DMS or accounting system.

What if CDK uses a different report name in our version?

Tell WebRun the exact report name or menu path you normally use and it will navigate there directly.

Can we add other KPIs like CSI scores or parts-to-labour ratio?

Yes - specify which additional CDK or QuickBooks reports to pull and WebRun will include those metrics in the Monday report.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
