Software for machinery and ag workshops

Tractors, diggers and plant entered by VIN or chassis number and tracked in hours, kilometres or miles, with callouts run from a phone.

Any machine, with or without a plate

Tractors, trailers and plant go on the system the same way a car does.

VIN or chassis number. Enter anything without a plate by VIN or chassis number.
Cars, trucks, bikes, tractors, boats and more. Every vehicle type goes on the same job cards and invoices.
Hours, kilometres or miles. Track engine hours, kilometres or miles per vehicle, whichever the machine goes by.
Everything on the vehicle’s file. Past jobs, invoices and reminders sit on the machine’s record.

Run the job from a phone or tablet at the machine, and invoice before you leave.

The Hoist mobile app. On iOS and Android, and Hoist also works in any phone or tablet browser.
Job cards at the machine. Add the job, parts and photos where the machine is.
Estimates approved from a link. The customer taps Go ahead or No thanks, with no login.
Invoice on the spot. Send the invoice with a pay link before you leave the yard.

Set the date when the job is done and the customer is reminded when it comes round.

Reminders by text or email. They go out on their own, so nobody has to run through a list.
WoF and CoF reminders. For road-going machinery, the date sits on the vehicle.
Booking reminders. Customers get a text before the appointment.
Reusable messages. Keep templates for the messages you send most.

The invoice comes straight off the job card, and it goes to Xero.

One-click invoices. The job card becomes the GST invoice in one click.
Deposits and part payments. Take some now and the rest later, and Hoist tracks what is owing.
Account customers. Payment terms and statements for the farms and contractors you bill monthly.
Two-way Xero sync. Invoices and payments flow between Hoist and Xero.

What machinery and ag ask before they start.

Can I enter a tractor or digger without a plate?

Yes. Anything without a plate can be entered by VIN or chassis number.

Can I record engine hours instead of kilometres?

Yes. Each vehicle can be tracked in kilometres, miles or engine hours.

Can I use Hoist on a phone at the customer’s place?

Yes. Use the Hoist mobile app on iOS and Android, or any phone or tablet browser, to run the job and invoice before you leave.

Can I set service reminders for machinery?

Yes. You set the reminder date when the job is done, and Hoist sends it by text or email when it comes round.

Whatever comes through the door, the vehicle, the job and the invoice work the same way.
