New features added include:
- For the first time, the Internal Communications feature allows the Service Advisor to communicate internally with other key members of the dealership and external partners without leaving the myKaarma application via text, voice, mobile app. This feature eliminates noisy walkie-talkies, long walks to find technicians, and locating the much-needed shuttle driver.
- The Out-of-Office feature now allows any myKaarma user to auto-reply, auto-delegate, or auto-forward his/her voice calls, text messages, and emails with just a few clicks. It lets the Guests know that their Advisor is not available and seamlessly passes the baton to a fellow Service Advisor.
- myKaarma Payments now lets you accept cash and check through the same system where you process credit and debit card transactions. It allows you to keep all payment types in one single closing report with one-click auto-reconciliation. No other product in the Industry allows you to do this.
- Card issuers have rolled out new requirements for businesses to adopt EMV card readers in order to start accepting chip cards. myKaarma swipers support both kinds of these new smart cards: chip-and-PIN and chip-and-signature.
The myKaarma platform saves service departments time and money by:
- Boosting service advisor productivity by 71%
- Reducing loaner car days, saving $7,000 per month
- Minimizing authorization disputes by 86%
A JD Power study showed that customers who were sent updates have a higher average CSI score of over 200 points, 20% on a 1,000 point scale, versus those who were not. Please visit us at https://mykaarma.com.

"Check and Cash, and Chip-and-PIN make significant improvements to dealerships' ability to easily and securely accept multiple tender types from their customers."
