Amazing amazing amazing

For someone like me who runs his own business service manager, service writer and mechanic and deal with all my incompetent mechanic lol this has been a blessing. Alldata shopkey all those useless invoicing system that I used over the years and spent thousands of dollars on I regret. This software now app has been so convenient I can simply be in the shop fixing a car raise my head I pull my phone out create invoice sent it over to the customer they sign it I get paid this thing is just amazing. I do a high-end European car repairs and most of the invoicing system does not have exotic cars. With this software I can just add my own brand or they have it. It’s so detailed if you want to use the app to its full capabilities or you can simplify it based on your needs. Eurocarpro Pearland TX

Truly Comprehensive App

After trying about 6 other invoicing apps, I stumbled upon this one. This was exactly what I was looking for all along. Exceptionally comprehensive and intuitive. Seamless integration between customer data, work orders, and invoicing. The very first customer to receive an invoice generated by this app took the time to call me personally and comment on the thoroughness of the invoice and asked how he could find it himself. If you appreciate the ability to track data, maintain a well put together CRM, or generate prefilled documents at the touch of a button, you’ll really like this app. Give it a shot.

Great app

I like this app, I’m a mobile mechanic and save me time and looks professional my work orders because I have a mobile printer as well and every time I used it I have to save the invoices If I forget it will start all over again. The only problem I have is when I give a discount to my customer on my profit doesn’t take it off for example if I make $200 and gave to the customer $20 off still shows on the app $200 profit total,they should fix that and also I collect taxes I be good idea to have an extra option to check how much taxes has been collected from all parts.
I love it. I highly recommend this app
