When the phone rings during a brake job, you don't alt-tab.

A workshop OS that fits how an AU auto service shop actually runs — logbook, rego, RWC, parts, diary, all on one screen, all in one tab.

  • Logbook services
  • Brake & tyre
  • Rego / RWC
  • Mixed makes
  • Suburban
  • 1–6 bays
PROBLEM

Reception is the bottleneck.

The phone rings, the customer's at the counter, the tech needs a part code — and you're switching between three apps and a paper diary. That's how bookings get missed, parts get double-ordered, and reminders never go out.

CAPABILITY · 01

Diary that speaks bay.

  • Drag-and-drop bookings, colour-coded by bay
  • Service-type templates (logbook 60k, brake job, RWC) with default duration + parts
  • Customer SMS confirmation auto-fires on booking
CAPABILITY · 02

Quote to invoice without re-keying.

  • Quote + photos sent from the iPad in the bay
  • Approved quote becomes a job; job becomes an invoice
  • GST-inclusive customer-facing totals; Xero / MYOB sync
CAPABILITY · 03

Reminders that bring customers back.

  • Auto rego, logbook-km, and seasonal reminder cycles
  • Two-way SMS — customer replies "book me" from the cycle
  • Conversion reporting per cycle so you know what works

We were tab-juggling MechanicDesk, a parts portal, and a paper diary. Switching to PitlaneHQ cut about ten admin hours a week off reception.
