Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hoist workshop management software.

What is Hoist?
Hoist is all-in-one workshop management software built specifically for New Zealand automotive workshops. It lets you manage work orders, customers, inventory, invoicing, scheduling, and more — all from one platform, with a mobile app for iOS and Android.
Is Hoist built for New Zealand workshops?
Yes. Hoist is built in NZ and integrates directly with NZTA for vehicle registration lookups and Xero for accounting. All data is hosted in New Zealand and pricing is in NZD. Everything is designed around how Kiwi workshops actually operate.
How does the Xero integration work?
Hoist syncs two-ways with Xero — invoices created in Hoist appear automatically in Xero, and payments reconcile without double-entry. No more copying data between systems at end of day.
Is there a mobile app for mechanics?
Yes. Hoist has a native mobile app for both iOS (iPhone) and Android. Mechanics can log time, update job status, add parts, and check their schedule from the workshop floor — no desktop needed.
What is the early adopter pricing?
Workshops that sign up before our April 2026 public launch lock in $60/month + GST for the life of their subscription. After launch, the regular price is $99/month. Additional users are $10/month each.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most workshops are up and running in a day. We'll walk you through the setup, help migrate your existing customer and vehicle data, and make sure your team knows how to use it. There's no long onboarding process.
