What ROADe is
ROADe is a cloud-based management system for automotive repair shops, mobile technicians, and fleet operations. Its Shop, Tech, Customer, and Fleet portals cover shop work, technicians, customers, and fleet managers. The system supports work orders, estimate approvals, parts inventory, technician time tracking, and vehicle history. Repair businesses can take online bookings, send automated SMS reminders, conduct digital inspections with photo and video documentation, and accept card, ACH, electronic-check, or mobile payments. Fleet tools include GPS tracking, telematics, preventive maintenance scheduling, fuel management, and inspections with DVIR compliance. ROADe says the service works on any device without hardware. Shop costs $150 a month; Commercial is $250 a month and includes a fleet portal for up to 50 vehicles. Professional costs $350 a month per site for multi-location use.
