Automan Features for Workshops & Repair Shops
Six things Automan does for your business — from bringing customers in and automating operations to controlling the money and the team. The vocabulary and the fields follow your trade: an auto workshop or an electronics repair counter.
One engine, your business wheel turning
Other apps stop at record-keeping. Automan turns your customer wheel.
Not just a recording tool — an engine that brings customers in, serves them automatically, keeps them loyal, then calls them back. Always turning.
The same six jobs, two very different trades
The wheel above applies to an auto workshop and an electronics repair counter alike. What differs is not the modules but the words and the fields — and those change on their own, following the business type you choose when setting the shop up.
On a vehicle business type, Repair Unit appears as Vehicle, Technician as Mechanic, Item Type as Vehicle Type, and plate number, chassis number, engine number, and odometer become available. One Store App serves one kind of unit — general electronics or vehicles. Running both? They are two Store Apps under a single account.
-
Auto Repair Shop Software
Car and motorcycle workshops: plate number and odometer, customer complaints, the vehicle intake checklist, and mechanic commissions per workshop service.
-
Phone Repair Shop Software
Phone, laptop, and electronics counters: IMEI and serial numbers, a dense unit queue, repair warranties, and technician commissions per job.
Bring customers in
Turn ads and reputation into customers who actually walk in — not just viewers.
Most repair shops wait for walk-ins, then call a quiet week 'low season'. The truth is simpler: the shop next door shows up on Google with a 4.8 rating and a promo page you can tap from an ad — you don't. Today's customers decide from their phone screen, long before they pass your storefront.
Automan hands you the same machine big businesses use — no IT team required: a shop website assembled without code, lead-capture forms from Facebook/Instagram ads whose entries land neatly in the app (not scattered across chats), and happy customers automatically invited to review you on Google. Reputation stops being luck — it becomes a system.
-
Customer Acquisition
Build your shop site and landing pages with no code, and capture leads from Facebook/Instagram ads — Meta Pixel + CAPI already wired in.
-
WhatsApp
Every finished repair automatically invites happy customers to leave a Google review — the rating climbs for real, and that is what makes new customers pick your shop.
Automate daily operations
The work that usually drains you runs on its own and stays connected — record once, the system links the rest.
Count how many times a day you answer questions the records should answer: the unit that is 'probably done', the part that is 'probably still there', the receipt that was 'just here'. A busy but messy shop pays a hidden tax: the owner's day spent as a walking search engine.
In Automan you record a thing once — the system links the rest: a repair deducts stock, forms cost, computes commission, and flows into reports with no re-keying. Click one repair and every answer appears: status, parts used, profit, warranty, balance due. Your five daily questions, one screen.
-
Repair Management
From intake to pickup, every unit leaves a trail: queue, work record, parts, warranty, and a tracking page for customers.
-
POS & Sales
A fast register for parts and accessories — merged with stock and books, no separate POS app.
-
Spare Parts Inventory
Cost price stored per purchase batch, with serial/IMEI and salvaged parts — stock becomes a profit source, not a number on a shelf.
-
Returns & Claims
Three-way returns and corrections with a trail — the shop stays tidy exactly when transactions get messy.
-
Operations System
All the modules above on one source of truth — see the full picture of how a workshop or a repair counter connects.
-
Multi-Branch Transfers
Second location? Goods move between shops as a recorded transaction — the receiving side confirms what actually arrived, partial receiving included.
-
Van Sales
Hand stock to travelling reps as consignment — they sell, collect, and take returns at the customer’s door, and one settlement reconciles cash and leftover goods together.
-
Android App
Automan Mobile: technicians take jobs and change status from their phone, and it keeps working when the signal drops — transactions queue on the phone and send themselves once it returns.
Build trust & loyalty
Customers come back when they trust you — and trust is built on repairs that are transparent and kept.
Customers don't leave over a small price gap. They leave after asking 'is it done yet?' three times and hearing 'almost' three times. Quietly they conclude one thing: this shop is not in control — and my phone is in the wrong place.
Automan flips that experience without adding work: customers track their own repair with the code on the receipt, status updates send themselves, warranties are recorded and provable, and points make the next visit feel obvious. A shop that looks organized to customers isn't an aesthetic accident — it's a system keeping its promises.
-
Repair Tracking
Customers check their own repair status with the code on the receipt — the "is it done yet?" chats drop on their own.
-
WhatsApp
On every status change, Autonomous WhatsApp updates them from the server itself — receipt, "in progress", to "ready for pickup", sent without you touching a phone.
-
Customer Acquisition
Points, membership, and promos you can craft freely give customers a reason to return — not just a flat discount.
Win-back & follow-up
Follow-up fails not from lack of will, but from forgetting. Automan schedules it for you.
The most expensive data in your shop is the data you use least: your list of past customers. They trusted you once, paid you once — then got forgotten, because follow-up always loses to today's busyness. Yet winning a new customer costs multiples of calling back an old one.
The Reminder System works like an employee who never forgets: 26 scheduled reminder types — follow up a few days after a unit or vehicle is collected, flag expiring warranties, chase due debts, even birthday greetings — sent on their own via WhatsApp to the right person at the right time. Set it once; it collects results forever.
Control the money
Owners never have to guess. Numbers you can confidently take to an accountant or bank.
There is a simple question many owners fear: 'how much did we make this month?' Not because the answer is bad — but because nobody knows for sure. The report says profit, the drawer says otherwise, and the gap always ends in a shrug. A shop that doesn't know its numbers is running blindfolded.
Automan forms those numbers by itself from daily transactions: each cash pocket, cash flow, receivables and payables, profit and loss — readable without an accounting degree. When the shop levels up, the accounting module carries the same data through journals to a standards-compliant balance sheet. Stop guessing; start deciding.
-
Owner Reports
Read each cash pocket, cash flow, receivables, payables, and profit-and-loss — straight from transactions, no manual recap.
-
Accounting
When the shop needs accountant-grade books, journals, balance sheet, and asset depreciation form themselves per standards — no debit-credit knowledge required.
-
Spare Parts Inventory
Cost stored per purchase keeps profit per transaction correct — no more guessing margin when purchase prices vary.
-
Multi-Branch Transfers
Parts move between locations with their cost carried across, and the journals post themselves in both sets of books.
Control the team
Staff come and go, control stays with you — and the honest ones are the ones protected.
Delegating without control is the fastest way to lose money without knowing where it went. But the answer isn't suspecting everyone — it's a system that makes honesty provable. In a shop without trails, even your best staff can be accused; in a shop with trails, the honest are the best protected.
Automan gives you that control without drama: permissions down to each menu and action, every data change logged as who-when-changed-what, and technician commissions computed from recorded work. Trust stops being a feeling — it becomes data you can open anytime.
