How to leave the notebook behind in your mechanical workshop

65% of mechanical workshops in Peru manage their orders in notebooks, loose sheets or simply by memory. The owner knows (more or less) how much he charges each day. The technician knows (more or less) what is missing in spare parts. But no one has a clear view of the entire business.

The notebook problem in the workshop

When a customer calls asking about their car, you or your receptionist look in the notebook. When a part they swore they had is missing, they search the physical warehouse. When you want to know how much you generated this month, you take out the calculator.

That has a cost — in time, in errors, and in customers who don't return because you didn't have the information at hand.

What the modern workshop needs

Work orders with clear statuses

An order should have a visible cycle: received, under diagnosis, quote sent, approved, under repair, ready, delivered. Each state with date and person responsible. This way the customer knows where their car is and you know what each technician has pending.

PDF quote for the client

A professional PDF with details of services and spare parts changes the customer's perception of your workshop. You're not the notebook mechanic — you're serious business.

Spare parts inventory in real time

Know that you have 3 oil filters before the customer arrives, not after. And when it drops below 1, receive the alert to replenish.

Daily box without surprises

The owner needs to know how much came in, how much went out, and how much is left — every day, without relying on anyone's memory.
