New News!  In addition to providing support and training to OMD customers, we have also developed a solid working relationship with Digital Gateway and have already begun making  visits to customers using the e-automate software. Our fourth year in business should prove to be exciting indeed. In addition to teaching classes at the OMD User Group Symposium, Jack has also been a speaker at the e-automate Users Group. Our e-automate SMU Classes are be held at their brand new facility in Provo, Utah.

We are very excited about this new partnership and have already begun working together to provide users of e-automate with customized service reporting and increased functionality. Look for many new projects in the near future.

We will continue to support our many customers using the OMD software system while expanding our support to Digital Gateway users as well.

Our Newest Project is the PIP Audit, or Profit Improvement Potential. This is a series of analysis reports aimed at things that can improve efficiency, productivity, reduce cost or, in short - Improve Profits! This project is already underway and making an impact in many dealerships around the country. For more information, PIP Project

Our Parts Autoload project developed in conjunction with OMD is the Parts Restock & Reorder Setup, where we determine car stock & purchasing levels for a dealer and then load the information into the OMD Database to ease the pain (spelled data entry) of setting up the Auto Reorder & Restock programs. Using a REQ program from OMD, we can update thousands of Location and Master records in a matter of seconds where a manual process may take days or weeks to complete. Each instance has resulted in more accurate parts purchasing and lower reschedule rates in a very short time, providing maximum return on investment to our dealers! This project has reduced rescheduled service calls by 52 calls per month at our customer in Wichita, KS in less than 3 months! For more information, Parts Project Information     Email us using the "Email Jack" link above if you would like a free, no obligation "Scorecard" to see how much of an impact this project could have on your business!

JDC's Service Technician Territory project for OMD users has been updated to add average monthly volume per machine! This project gathers information from OMD to allow service team leaders to assign equipment to technicians based on location, machine qualification, required monthly service workload hours as well as volume to create balanced territories and decrease travel & expense while at the same time increasing customer satisfaction and lowering response time. Decreasing travel time will increase daily customer hours while lowering Burden Rates. Anything we can do to reduce travel time and expense will return $ to the bottom line with gas prices continually escalating. The magic of this project is that it is completed with no manual data entry in OMD!

This same project has also been duplicated for e-automate users as well!

SMU On The Road For dealers with five or more students, we can come to your facility to do the Service Managers University class, saving significant money on expenses. Just email for details. This class is also eligible for Katun's Professional Events funds.


Our Mission

Our Mission is to bridge the gap between a Great Service Technician and a Successful Service Manager through both Education and a Series of Projects designed to Increase Bottom Line Profits. Jack has 35 years of proven techniques to get the most from your operating software in order to maximize efficiency & control cost. Service Managers University not only delves into using your current software more efficiently, but also the art of managing a mobile workforce while still attaining profitability goals. After all, when you are managing Field Service Technicians, "When you can see them, they're not doing what you pay them to do!"

After many years of navigating the minefield known as "The Model" and meeting or exceeding model targets while maintaining  operational budgets, Jack Duncan Consulting was formed to not only consult, but to teach practices that will allow service management to run more productive and profitable departments while providing pro-active services to customers insuring a high degree of customer satisfaction. The true value of a good consultant is to be able to bring value by teaching practices which bring success based on years of experience.

With the burden of profit placed squarely on the aftermarket (service & Supply), it is imperative that we give our managers the training necessary to succeed. We must make the transition from a world of "Break - Fix" to that of a successful Business Manager. We are here to provide the training and tools to do just that.
