Why Us
Most systems translate the interface. We go further - your entire operation runs in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Every screen, estimate, invoice and automated message your customers receive is in their language - English, Spanish or Portuguese. Not just the interface: the full client experience.
Send estimates, inspection reports, payment links, and status updates by SMS, WhatsApp, or email, in the customer's language, directly from your workflow. No copy-paste, no switching apps.
Your customers get a dedicated portal to view their full vehicle and fleet service history, approve or decline estimates, and pay invoices online - anytime, from any device.
How It Works
Scan the VIN to auto-populate vehicle info. Create the repair order, assign a technician and start the digital inspection - all in under 2 minutes.
Technician completes the DVI with photos and videos on the app. The estimate is built automatically and sent to the customer for digital approval.
Customer receives a text or email with the inspection report and estimate. They approve line items, ask questions and sign - no paper needed.
When the car is ready, send a payment link by text. Customers pay by card, ACH or BNPL. Funds hit your account automatically.
