“Highly recommend Hoist Software. We find Hoist much better suited to our business, with customer information centralised. Speed is incredible. Invoicing is extremely easy and FAST. Templates are easy to make up, and not through an add-on. Alex and Jess have both been incredible to deal with and made the transfer so easy. Hoist are also willing to listen to any thoughts regarding improvements. Definitely a 5 ⭐️ review from us at Gray Mechanical Limited!”

Everything's included

There's no feature-comparison table on this page, because there's nothing to compare. Every workshop on Hoist gets the lot, from day one.

Works with what you already use

Hoist connects to Xero, a Verifone EFTPOS terminal and official NZ vehicle records, so nothing is keyed in twice.

See all integrations

  • Xero

    Invoices and payments land in Xero on their own. You don’t need Xero to use Hoist.

  • Rego lookup

    Type a rego and the vehicle fills itself in from official NZ records.

  • Verifone EFTPOS

    Take the payment on the terminal straight from the job, and the invoice marks itself paid.

Extras on top of the base price

Texts and lookups at cost plus a little, extra users and mailboxes by the month.

Pricing questions, answered

Everything you might want to know about what it costs and what's included.

How much does workshop management software cost in New Zealand?
Hoist is $140/month + GST. It's one flat rate with every feature included and no tiers. Your plan includes 3 users, and extra users are $10/month each.
I signed up on early bird pricing - what happens to my rate?
Nothing changes for you. Early bird pricing closed on 31 August 2026, and every workshop that locked it in keeps that rate for the full period it was promised. When it ends your plan moves to the standard rate, and we give you at least 30 days' notice before any price change to an existing subscription.
Is Hoist available now?
Yes - Hoist is live and you can sign up today at my.hoist.nz, at $140/month + GST.
What features are included in Hoist workshop software?
Hoist includes job cards and work orders, the customer and vehicle database, invoicing and payments, rego lookups, Xero integration, stock and parts, technician scheduling, reporting and analytics, two-way customer texting, a connected mailbox, deferred work tracking, and it works on any device. Every feature is included at one price - no premium tiers, nothing held back for an upgrade.
Does Hoist integrate with Xero accounting software?
Yes, and it costs nothing extra. Invoices go across to Xero on their own and customer details stay in step, so nothing gets typed twice.
How many users are included, and can I add more?
Every plan includes 3 users. Additional users are $10/month each, added from your account settings, with no limit on how many you can add.
Is there a contract or can I cancel anytime?
There's no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime, no penalties. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into one.
Is GST included in the pricing?
All prices shown are exclusive of GST. GST gets added at checkout for New Zealand customers, and you'll get a GST invoice for your records.
What support is included with Hoist?
Live chat, phone and email, included for every customer at no extra cost. You get a person in New Zealand in your own time zone, not a ticket number and a queue. When you move from another system, we do the migration for you and help you get set up.
How do rego lookups work?
Type a rego and Hoist pulls the details straight from official NZ vehicle records: make, model, year, VIN and more. Cached lookups cost 5c, live lookups cost 24c. No plate? Enter it once by VIN or chassis number instead.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your data stays accessible for 30 days after cancellation, and you can request a full export at any time. After 30 days it's removed from our active systems, and from backups within 90 days.
