SAN JOSE, CA— July 2, 2013 — Kukui, a market leader in delivering automated communications, marketing and analytics software to the automotive repair industry, has launched its next generation platform for the auto repair industry.

The solution analyzes the results generated by a repair shop’s marketing channels and offers more effective tools to help amplify those results. The subscription service requires no additional hardware or IT resources and is available at a fraction of the cost of existing software and solutions.

"We are proud to offer our customers a powerful, fully-integrated platform previously available only to companies willing and able to spend millions of dollars on custom software solutions,” said Ryan Wilmot, president and CEO of Kukui. “Since releasing the first version of our platform over a year ago, we’ve helped hundreds of repair shops transform their businesses.

Kukui believes the Internet and Social Media have "democratized" local business marketing and that shops no longer have to tolerate expensive, risky, traditional marketing campaigns, SEO and websites that take months to build and offer little tangible return on investment.

The company’s platform provides customers with a range of revolutionary features in one turn-key, automated package, including smart web pages that are optimized to boost conversion rates; a simple-to-use Content Management System that is integrated with a shop’s Point-of-Sale system and customer retention tools such as email service reminders. The new version also allows clients to customize their dashboards to focus on the area of their operation they most want to track - from customer reviews to missed leads.

Auto repair shops of all sizes have become customers of Kukui. Because the service was built from the ground up to be the ultimate marketing solution for auto repair shops, it works seamlessly with a range of shop management systems and marketing options.
