Why workshops pick Hoist over the alternatives
Plenty of workshop software exists. Most of it is desktop-era, built overseas, or priced like enterprise gear. Hoist is the opposite.
Made in NZ, for NZ workshops
NZTA vehicle lookups, GST handling and NZD pricing are built in - not bolted onto an overseas tool. Support is local and speaks workshop.
Everything in one system, not five
Jobs, scheduling, invoicing, inventory and customer history all live together - so you are not stitching together a calendar app, a spreadsheet and a separate invoicing tool.
No double entry into your accounting
Invoices and payments flow straight through to Xero, so end-of-day data entry disappears and your numbers reconcile without you chasing them.
Honest pricing, and a free switch
$60/month + GST at our early-adopter rate, locked in for 6 months - no setup fees, no lock-in. And while early-adopter pricing lasts, we import your existing data for free.
