Software for auto repair shops

Software for auto repair shops that understands how a car comes in and out.

We build the software for the shop: repair order with hours and parts, quotes to the customer, bay management, billing and notifications. No impossible ERPs and no 'modules' that don't fit.

SCROLL

The problem

What generic software doesn't get

01
Repair order
An RO isn't an invoice. It has labour hours per mechanic, parts with different margins, customer authorisation and a state (waiting for part, in repair, ready for delivery). A generic tool treats it as an invoice line and loses everything.
02
Parts
A shop's stock is 200–2,000 references with different suppliers and margins. Without a serious parts module, every quote is done by hand and margins evaporate.
03
Bays and planning
You have 3 lifts and 5 mechanics. Knowing which car comes in at 9, which finishes at 12 and which blocks a lift until Friday isn't 'an agenda'; it's resource planning.
04
Customer appointments
If your customer can see availability and book online (with brand, model, plate and reason) without calling you, you save a fair share of the front-desk calls.

What's included

The complete operational system

Repair orders

RO with vehicle data, reason, labour (hours + rate per mechanic), parts, signed customer authorisation and state.

Billing and inspections

Invoice with breakdown, VAT, payment methods. Automatic reminders for upcoming inspections and mileage-based service.

Vehicle history

Each plate has its history: services, interventions, oil changes, tyres. The customer sees it too.

How we build it

From audit to full operation. You use the system from day one.

01
Operational audit
One week in the shop: how ROs come in, how you charge, which parts supplier dominates and where money is lost. From there, the MVP.
02
Shop MVP
4–6 weeks. RO, quotes, parts and billing. The shop no longer needs the old system.
03
Online booking and customer app
Online booking and a portal for customers to view quotes, authorise and receive invoices. Phone calls drop ~30%.
04
Full operation
POS integration, plate or customer-card reading, AI for RO summaries. Whatever your operation needs, scoped at kick-off.
05
Maintenance
Flat monthly fee. Small changes included. The code and data belong to the shop.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does it handle fleets or only retail customers?

Both. Retail customer with single vehicle and company with fleet: vehicles assigned to the company tax ID, consolidated quotes, contract conditions and monthly billing.

How is the parts catalogue handled?

The system keeps your internal catalogue with stock, suppliers and margins. Integration with any external system is scoped at kick-off based on your specific operation.

Can it manage several shops?

Yes. Multi-centre with stock per shop, internal transfers and consolidated reports per customer plate or per centre.

What about part warranty?

Yes. Each part stores the manufacturer's warranty and the shop's. If the customer comes back within the period, the warranty RO is created without billing the part.

How long does a realistic implementation take?

The MVP with RO + quotes + billing is built to ship soon. Full operation with online booking and parts depends on volume — planned at kick-off.

Shall we build it for your business?

MVP in production in 3–6 weeks. Closed budget before we start. Code and data are yours.
