The Shop-Ware shop management SaaS platform is now a part of the KUKUI Certified Partner program.  With KUKUI’s Shop-Ware integration, users of both platforms will have unrivaled access to performance metrics and tools to make their shops successful. 

 

Shop-Ware users will have complete transparency in the performance and effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.  Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram, Yelp, SEO, texting, email, postcards, shop videos, and review management are all clearly displayed using the KUKUI dashboard.  This provides shop owners with a better understanding of their shop’s performance and the ability to identify areas of improvement and focus on efforts that are driving the most success.

We’re thrilled to partner together, to supercharge services to our mutual customers as well as to their customers, the vehicle owners.”

 

Being a part of the KUKUI Certified program means that Shop-Ware is committed to upholding a set of standards that is focused on supporting the success of shop owners and the independent aftermarket industry alike.  Lorie Sharp, CEO of KUKUI believes that  "Shop owner success is our top priority.  Our experience and our software have helped thousands of shops across the country.  We are thrilled to partner with a company like Shop-Ware that is just as dedicated to helping shop owners maximize their potential.”
