Features

Everything a modern workshop needs to earn trust — nothing it doesn't.

Digital intake, no clipboards

Photograph dents, scratches and fluid levels the moment the car rolls in. Signed off by the owner in seconds.

Live job tracker

Every mechanic sees the same board. Diagnosis, approval, parts, labour, QC — all timestamped and audit-safe.

WhatsApp updates

Push status changes and photos straight to the owner. No more phone-tag chasing an approval.

Shop dashboard

Total jobs, common issues, return-rate, satisfaction score and average frequency per make — at a glance.

Owner approval

Customers sign off on quotes with a tap. Nothing gets stripped down without written consent.

Multi-shop, secure

Each workshop's data is isolated. Row-level security means techs only see their bay.

How it works

Four steps from key-drop to happy customer.

01

Capture intake

Snap photos, list existing damage, log fuel & odometer. Owner signs on-screen.

02

Diagnose & quote

Add findings and parts. Send the quote to the owner's phone for approval.

03

Track work

Update progress in taps. Owners get notified at each milestone.

04

Handover

Final QC photos, invoice, and satisfaction survey — all in the same thread.

Test drive

Poke around the Northside Auto demo shop.

A pre-seeded workshop account so you can explore the dashboard, jobs and vehicle records without setting anything up.

Intake capture works offline and syncs when you're back on Wi-Fi.
