What is an AMM and Why It Might Save You Thousands

November 18th, 2025

At ColorVision®, we know your collision center runs on process, people, and precision. That’s why we offer our Account Maintenance Matrix (AMM): a value-added, two-part audit designed to catch small problems before they become costly setbacks, and to help our partners thrive.

Whether you have a single-location or multiple, AMM audits are one of the most powerful free tools we offer to increase operational efficiency, prevent costly downtime, and align your business with best practices across the industry.

Why Preventative Audits Matter

One of ColorVision’s business principles is be proactive with everything. Unlike reactive vendor visits that only address issues after they happen, our AMM service is our unique proactive approach. It’s designed to:

  • Prevent technical breakdowns before they affect cycle time.

  • Ensure accuracy with product usage standards and updates.

  • Identify gaps in training, certifications, or documentation.

  • Confirm you’re equipped with the most effective product marketing and support materials.

What Is an AMM Audit?

AMM stands for Account Maintenance Matrix, and it’s ColorVision’s unique approach to holistic shop health. Conducted annually, the audit includes these two key components:

Technical Audit, Led by a Certified Technical Representative

This hands-on assessment ensures your shop’s equipment, processes, and systems are operating at peak efficiency. We evaluate:

  • Spray booth and prep station condition

  • Gun calibration and mixing room readiness

  • Proper usage and storage of PPG systems whether for automotive refinish or commercial/industrial.

  • Digital tool integration like PPG MoonWalk®, DigiMatch™, or MagicBox™

Business & Marketing Audit, Led by Your Business Development Manager

We review the business side of your operations, including:

  • Technician training records and certification gaps

  • Use of updated technical support materials

  • Alignment with current marketing materials

  • Opportunities for additional services like Profit Management

This partnership-focused approach ensures you’re supported with the latest marketing support, operational efficiency, and fully resourced to enhance your team’s success. Our AMM service is one example of how we’re helping our partners stay competitive in a high-demand, high-standards industry.
