THE FULL BREAKDOWN

Steer vs.
Shopgenie

As Shopgenie transitions into Tekmetric Marketing, many shops are taking a fresh look at their front-of-house experience. Steer delivers booking, phone, and communication tools today — without waiting for a new product to mature.

"I’ve had an excellent experience working with the team at Steer. Managing marketing for over 26 Grease Monkey® locations is no small task, and Steer has played a major role in helping us make over $500K per month this quarter alone!”
