Motasoft have announced the latest software update for their garage management software, VGM. Designed to streamline operations, improve customer retention, and uncover new revenue streams, VGM 3.12 introduces a suite of powerful tools and enhancements, most notably the brand-new Opportunities module.
Andrew Burgess, MD of Motasoft, commented: “We’re excited to bring VGM 3.12 to our users. This release is all about giving workshops smarter ways to manage follow-ups and turn potential into profit. It’s now more important than even for garages to maximise every customer interaction. This update will do just that, helping improve profits without creating more admin work.”
At the heart of VGM 3.12 is the Opportunities module. This is an intelligent feature set created to help garages easily capture, manage, and convert future work.
Key capabilities of the opportunities include:
Automated Opportunity Creation: Automatically generate follow-up opportunities from MOT advisories, Vehicle Health Checks (VHCs), and other service recommendations.
Advanced Opportunity Management: Track opportunity status (e.g., “In Progress,” “Won”), log internal notes, and view all related interactions in a comprehensive activity timeline.
Integrated Quoting & Booking: Build quotes using your parts stock, GSF catalogue, Group Tyre integration, MOTs, labour, and services then send via email or SMS. Once approved, quotes convert seamlessly into scheduled jobs within the VGM diary.
Customizable Grid View: Like all VGM grids, Opportunities offers full filtering and sorting, giving teams total visibility and control over their pipeline.
VGM 3.12 isn’t just about new tools. It also brings refinements across the platform, including:
GSF Quoting in VGM Classic: Add GSF parts to sales quotes without committing to an order, giving users more flexibility during the quoting process.
Real-Time Data Syncing: Updates to job sheets, customer profiles, vehicles, and quotes now sync instantly across all open sessions.
Enhanced Parts & Tyres Grids: Improved filtering and usability make managing parts inventory faster and more intuitive than ever before.
