AUDATEX (UK) has signed a partnership agreement that will see its AudaWorkstation system become the operating standard across Balfour Beatty's 30-strong bodyshop network which looks after 6,500 of the company's 7,000 cars and commercial vehicles.

Balfour Beatty Plant Division Fleet Services has stipulated that AudaWorkstation will be used for all work carried out on its vehicles by members of its third-party bodyshop network, replacing a manual system and thereby slashing the process time for obtaining an estimate from a week to 30 minutes.
