The complete toolkit

Everything your workshop needs, in one place

From the first phone call to the paid invoice - booking, job cards, parts, invoicing and reminders, all in one system built for New Zealand workshops.

Free trial, no card needed - up and running in a day.

Every step of the job

One system, from booking to paid and back again

Enter a job once and it flows all the way through - no re-keying, nothing lost between the front desk and the floor.

Parts & stock

Stock that keeps itself honest

Add parts to a job and stock drops on its own. Low and out-of-stock lines get flagged before you get caught short on a Friday afternoon.

  • Stock drops as you add parts
  • Low and out-of-stock flags
  • Codes, prices and categories

And the rest of the day

The little things that add up

Works on the floor

Update jobs, add parts and check the day’s schedule from any phone. Native iOS and Android apps coming soon.

ABC123

Carjam rego lookups

Type a rego and Carjam fills in the make, model and vehicle details for you.

Digital inspections

Run WOF and service checks on-screen, add photos, and send the customer a clean report they can trust.

Quotes & approvals

Send a quote the customer can approve in a tap, then turn it straight into a job - no back and forth.

Online payments

Let customers pay online with HoistPay. The money lands in your account, matched to the job - less chasing.

Purchasing & suppliers

Order parts from suppliers and keep on top of what you have bought and what you owe.

Time on the tools

Techs clock on and off jobs, so the hours land on the invoice as billable time - no guessing at day’s end.

Reports that add up

See what is actually making money - by job, by tech, by month - with the numbers your accountant will thank you for.

Job templates

Save the jobs you do every day - a WOF, a service - and drop them onto a work order in a tap.

Roles for the team

Techs, front desk and owners each get the right access - and their own view of the day.
