Garage β Smart Workshop & Auto Service ERP
How it Works
G
arage is a specialized enterprise platform built to streamline the complex operations of automotive workshops. It manages the entire customer journeyβfrom vehicle check-in and automated job card creation to spare parts inventory and final invoicing. The system provides a centralized dashboard to track active services, employee performance, and supplier records. With integrated modules for vehicle sales, compliance tracking, and specialized observation libraries, it transforms traditional grease-and-paper garages into highly efficient, data-driven service hubs.
Key Features
- Digital Job Card System: Streamlined workflow for mechanics to open, track, and complete service tasks with real-time status updates on the dashboard.
- Intelligent Inventory & Part Sells: Comprehensive management of spare parts, stock levels, and supplier relationships with a dedicated point-of-sale for part sales.
- Vehicle & Customer CRM: Detailed profiles for vehicles (VIN, Model, Service History) and customers, including a "Recently Joined" tracking system.
- Quotation & Invoice Automation: Instant generation of professional PDF quotations and invoices that automatically deduct used parts from the inventory.
- Observation Library & Compliances: A specialized knowledge base for mechanics to log vehicle observations and track regulatory workshop compliances.
- Branch & Multi-Employee Management: Support for multiple garage branches with granular access controls for employees, managers, and accountants.
