WEST CHESTER, PA — For years, auto body shops have juggled spreadsheets, whiteboards, and outdated software to manage jobs, staff, and schedules. That changes now.

Helios, the new cloud-based shop management platform, officially launches this month with a mission: to bring clarity, speed, and accountability to the heart of the auto repair workflow.

Helios was built by industry veterans who know the shop floor firsthand. Leading the charge is Rob Klopp, a third-generation owner of Elmer’s Auto Body in Washington Township, NJ. With over 20 years of experience running high-volume operations, Klopp saw the gaps in existing systems and helped design Helios to solve them.

“We wanted a system that didn’t just digitize the chaos but replaced it with something better,” said Klopp. “Helios lets teams see where every job stands, spot bottlenecks, and deliver faster without dropping quality.”

At its core, Helios is visual and intuitive. A real-time production board gives a shop-wide view of all work in progress. Users can drag-and-drop jobs across custom workflow stages, track parts and labor, assign technicians, and instantly know what’s moving and what’s stalled.

Other standout features include:

• Real-Time Job Tracking: Stay updated at every step—from estimate to delivery.
• Customizable Workflows: Tailor stages to match your shop’s unique process.
• Smart Scheduling: Optimize technician assignments and keep your paint booth booked efficiently.
• Job Details Hub: Access all job data, notes, photos, and updates in one place.
• Reporting and Insights: Monitor KPIs, turnaround time, and staff productivity.

Helios is priced simply at $199/month for up to 10 users, with additional users at $19.99 each. There are no setup fees and no bloated enterprise add-ons—just the essentials done right.

“The response from early adopters has been incredible,” Klopp added. “Shops want something that works out of the box and keeps them moving. That’s Helios.”

Helios is now live at heliospro.io.
