Garage and Workshop Management Software
Job card in, estimate approved, parts issued, bill out.
A workshop day is a stream of interruptions. A vehicle comes in, a mechanic starts on it, the customer calls asking for a status, a part turns out to be unavailable, another vehicle arrives for a quick job that takes two hours, and by evening nobody can say precisely what was done to which vehicle or whether the parts issued match what was billed. The revenue leak is rarely dramatic — it is a few hundred rupees of parts unbilled on each job, repeated all month.
This system runs the workshop on job cards. Every vehicle that enters gets one, with complaints recorded, an estimate the customer approves on WhatsApp before work begins, parts issued against that job card and nothing else, mechanic time logged, and a final bill built from exactly what was consumed. Service history follows the vehicle registration number forever, so the next visit starts with a full picture — and service reminders bring customers back rather than waiting for them to remember.
Modules
Take the whole system or start with the modules that hurt most — the rest can be added later without a rebuild.

Vehicle service history
Complete history by registration number covering every job, part, kilometre reading and observation across years.
Mechanic productivity
