Automotive RepairCompensation Management3MediumAuto Body Technician$ implied
Auto body repair technicians in Saskatchewan are not compensated for the time and materials required to apply seam sealer to new replacement parts, which previously came pre-sealed.
Current flat-rate or hourly pay systems do not include a line item for seam sealing new parts, so technicians perform the work without compensation, while the task adds time and product cost.

- Material cost calculator for seam sealer usage
- Integration with shop management systems to add pay line items
Target Users: Auto body technicians and shop owners in collision repair facilities, especially in regions where seam sealing is unpaid
Revenue Model: $15/mo per technician subscription, or $199/shop flat monthly fee
