Career
Dehnke founded Driven Audio in British Columbia in 2010 and sold it in 2017. He established 12v.Biz in 2019 after seeing the need for scheduling software designed around installation businesses. His company biography describes earlier retail and manufacturer-sales experience. The resulting product focuses on the shared information a shop needs while a customer’s vehicle is in its care.[1]
Contributions
The Toolbox combines a shared calendar, digital work orders and vehicle check-in records. Staff can attach timestamped photos and a customer signature to document condition before work begins. Two-way texting puts reminders, updates and replies in a shared shop inbox, while a QuickBooks integration synchronizes customer information. The tools supplement the shop’s existing accounting and point-of-sale systems.[2]
