 PlanManager from Solera Audatex is a state-of-the-art end-to-end body shop management solution. Activate Accident Repair has already successfully integrated PlanManager into three of its repair sites to date and will be working with the Audatex team to continue the roll out across all of its UK sites throughout 2021.
