Description

Hoist is designed to simplify workshop operations for automotive businesses across New Zealand. It centralizes job management, invoicing, and customer communication in one easy-to-use platform. Digital job cards replace paper-based systems, reducing mistakes and improving visibility across jobs. Automated calculations and workflows minimize human error and save administrative time. Hoist integrates directly with Xero for two-way syncing of invoices, payments, and customer data. Built-in EFTPOS integrations allow workshops to take payments quickly and accurately. Vehicle lookup tools provide instant access to registration and WoF history. Customers receive timely updates, improving trust and repeat business. Hoist supports the tools workshops already use, including parts suppliers and payment providers. With a short setup time and free onboarding, teams can start seeing value quickly.

Description

Workshop Hub is a cloud-based management solution tailored for both independent and multi-bay automotive repair facilities. This browser-based platform integrates essential features such as a booking calendar alongside an online booking tool, comprehensive customer and vehicle records, digital job cards, photo-driven estimates, invoicing, payment requests, and tracking of workshop jobs. Mechanics have the ability to clock their working hours, utilize checklists, and document parts and notes, while administrative personnel oversee reminders, customer status updates, generate reports, and manage inventory workflows. The integrated AI can respond to inquiries based on shop records, draft quotes, and identify potentially missing charges on invoices for staff consideration. The Shop and Pro+ plans offer seamless accounting integration with Xero and QuickBooks Online, while the Pro+ plan enhances functionality with video updates, a social calendar, and tools for managing supplier invoices. Additionally, an optional AI Receptionist is available to assist with phone calls and booking inquiries. This online service also provides features like Australian registration lookups and invoices that are compliant with ABN/GST requirements, making it a comprehensive tool for automotive repair shops. Overall, Workshop Hub streamlines operations, enhances efficiency, and improves customer service for repair shop owners.
