The problem

Running a shop shouldn't mean chasing it all day.

Jobs, customers, and money live across phone calls, texts, sticky notes and spreadsheets. The work gets done — but something always slips through.

Every dropped thread becomes

a slower payment

an unhappy customer

a job that never comes back

How it fits together

From drop-off to paid, in one connected workflow.

Not a pile of disconnected tools — the whole job, handed off cleanly from one step to the next.

01

Run the job

One board, every repair

Orders move through estimate, approved, in progress and done — with inspections, parts and technicians on each one.

  • Estimate → approved → invoiced board
  • Digital inspections with photos
  • Parts, labour & techs per order
02

Win the yes

Approvals from their phone

Customers open one branded link — no login — to review the estimate, sign, and choose exactly which inspection work to do.

  • Approve & e-sign on the portal
  • Request or defer each finding
  • Every decision timestamped
03

Get paid

Money in, not chased

Invoices come straight off the finished job. Customers pay by card through Stripe, reminders handle the stragglers, and it syncs to QuickBooks.

  • Invoice from the completed order
  • Card payments via Stripe
  • Auto reminders + QuickBooks sync
Built for the shop floor

The tools that change how the day runs.

Each one removes a specific headache independent shops hit every single day.

Digital inspections

Show them the problem. Let them pick the fix.

Photograph what you find and send it over. The customer requests or defers each item right on their phone — and you build the estimate from exactly what they said yes to.

  • Photo & video findings
  • Customer requests or defers each item
  • Estimate built from what they picked

Send to customer

Customer gets a clean branded email with one link to review the full estimate.

3

6

Send invoice
