What Workshop Software is

Workshop Software is cloud-based management software for automotive and mechanical repair workshops. Its dashboard brings job progress, quotes, stock, staff allocation and invoicing into one view. Customers can book into a workshop online, and the mobile app supports bookings, jobs, photos, videos, work hours and inspections. Paperless vehicle inspections send findings and costs to customers’ smartphones for approval. Stock tools cover inventory levels and reorders, while supplier management handles orders, invoices and payments. Listed integrations include Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, Burson EzyParts, Repco Navigator Pro and WorkshopData. The software runs on Android, iOS and web. Plans are paid, with no free plan and a 14-day trial. The pricing note says from $149/mo (annual); listed Australian plans range from A$99 a year for Silver to A$199 a year for Platinum, plus GST. Integrated payments are available only in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA.
