Why it holds up

The whole operation, not just the tool

A programmer is a device. A key business needs quoting, dispatch, payment, history and reviews. Because this runs on the Kore platform, all of that is one system instead of a device plus four subscriptions.

  • CRM, dispatch and invoicing included
  • Card payment taken at the vehicle
  • VIN-level history for warranty claims
  • Automatic review requests on completion
  • Volume pricing on keys and blanks
Built and supported in Frisco, Texas
