In today’s fast-paced automotive service environment, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. Mercedes-Benz XENTRY Operation Time emerges as the solution to streamline your workshop operations, ensuring technicians can operate more intuitively, search faster, and ultimately, find better operation items and times. This innovative tool is designed to enhance productivity at every Mercedes-Benz service center.
Revolutionizing Operation Time Searches with Mercedes Benz XENTRY
Gone are the days of cumbersome, time-consuming searches for operation items. XENTRY Operation Time leverages FIN/VIN-based filtering, allowing for precise and rapid identification of the exact operation items and times needed for each specific Mercedes-Benz vehicle. This Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Factory Identification Number (FIN) driven approach minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency in service operations.
XENTRY Operation Time is engineered for accessibility and convenience. Its web-based application is compatible across all mobile devices, eliminating the previous dependency on JAVA OpenWebStart clients. This mobile-friendly design empowers technicians to access critical operation data directly from the workshop floor, saving valuable time and steps.
The newly designed product interface prioritizes user experience. With a focus on intuitive navigation and streamlined workflows, XENTRY Operation Time consolidates essential functions onto just two screens. This simplified design reduces complexity and accelerates the operation time search process, enabling your team to focus on what matters most – servicing Mercedes-Benz vehicles with expertise.
Key Features of Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time
Mercedes Benz Xentry Operation Time is packed with features designed to optimize your workshop’s workflow:
- FIN/VIN or Model Designation Access: Quickly access vehicle-specific operation times using either the FIN/VIN or the model designation. This flexibility ensures you can find the information you need, regardless of the data you have readily available.
- Effortless Search for Work Operation Items and Times: The core function of XENTRY Operation Time is to simplify and accelerate the search process. Find work operation items and their corresponding times with ease, reducing administrative overhead and improving quoting accuracy.
- Creation of Operation Items Lists: Compile and manage lists of operation items for specific jobs or vehicle types. This feature facilitates better job planning, parts ordering, and customer communication.
What’s New in Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time?
Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time is continuously evolving to meet the demands of modern Mercedes-Benz servicing. The latest updates include significant enhancements:
- FIN/VIN-Specific Filtering and Searching: As highlighted, the FIN/VIN-specific filtering revolutionizes the accuracy and speed of searches. This ensures technicians are working with the precise operation times for the exact vehicle they are servicing, minimizing discrepancies and improving customer satisfaction.
- Mobile Device Optimization: The application’s mobile-first design is a game-changer for workshop efficiency. Technicians can now perform searches and access operation data directly at the vehicle, reducing trips to stationary computers and keeping the workflow moving.
- Enhanced Search Capabilities: Beyond FIN/VIN, the search functionality has been significantly expanded. Users can now search for work operations by defect location, WIS (Workshop Information System) document number, and even part number. This multifaceted search capability ensures comprehensive coverage and quicker results, no matter the search criteria.
Introducing Damage Code: Integrated Damage Assessment within XENTRY
Expanding its capabilities further, Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time now integrates the Damage Code module. Launched in December 2022, Damage Code is included within XENTRY Operation Time at no additional cost, providing even greater value to Mercedes-Benz workshops.
Damage Code introduces image-based damage key determination directly within the XENTRY ecosystem. This stand-alone application seamlessly integrates with XENTRY Parts Information and XENTRY Operation Time. Damage Code simplifies the often complex process of damage assessment, particularly crucial for warranty and goodwill claims processing within the Mercedes-Benz factory network.
Benefits of Utilizing Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time
Implementing Mercedes Benz XENTRY Operation Time in your workshop translates to tangible benefits across your service operations:
- Simple and Intuitive Usage: The user-friendly design ensures a minimal learning curve and rapid adoption by your team. Its intuitive interface minimizes frustration and maximizes usability from day one.
- Time Savings During Search: The optimized search functionality drastically reduces the time spent looking for operation items and times. This reclaimed time can be redirected to billable service work, boosting workshop revenue.
- Higher Accuracy, Lower Error Rate: FIN/VIN-specific data and enhanced search filters minimize the risk of errors in operation time selection and quoting. Accuracy leads to improved customer trust and reduced financial discrepancies.

Important EWANAPI Adjustments for XENTRY Users
For users of EWANAPI (EWA Notification API), a new version is available. Install the latest version to maintain uninterrupted access to EWANAPI functionalities, especially as WIS/ASRA support is phased out.
Moving forward, XENTRY Operation Time and Damage Code will replace ASRA and SSL as the primary interfaces accessed via EWANAPI. This transition is already being adopted in various DMS (Dealer Management Systems) for initiating WIS/ASRA functions. Further details on EWANAPI adjustments can be found at EWANAPI Information.
