Streamlining Bicycle Maintenance Store Operations: How Retry Can Help with Scheduling, Inventory and Billing

Bicycle maintenance stores are essential for keeping cyclists on the road, but running one can come with its own set of challenges. Due to it’s unique industry nature, If you are considering opening a bicycle maintenance shop, or if you are currently the owner of a bicycle maintenance shop, here are a few points that may be of interest to you.

One of the most significant pain points in the workflow of a bicycle maintenance shop is the scheduling and management of appointments. It can be difficult to coordinate schedules and ensure that all customers are serviced in a timely manner when multiple technicians are working on different repairs at the same time.

With Retry, scheduling is a matter of a few mouse clicks. Retry integrates e-mail and text messaging. Web leads can be used to generate pre-populated documents for you. You can also configure your own lead-generating website.

Retry’s granular task management feature allows you to give the customer precise information about the job timeline. It also allows you to schedule, share, and assign tasks among your staff in an efficient and flexible manner, even when there are multiple bookings going on at the same time.
