Project Goals & Challenges

Mechanic garages face complex scheduling and invoicing challenges, often relying on manual booking systems, spreadsheets, or outdated software. This results in missed appointments, scheduling conflicts, and inefficient invoice management.

Our goal was to develop a bespoke garage management system that would streamline booking processes, enhance invoicing accuracy, and provide a seamless customer experience. We aimed to create a system where:

  • Customers can book services effortlessly through a dynamic booking wizard with car registration lookup and service selection.
  • Garages can efficiently manage schedules with a calendar-based view, ensuring no overbooking or scheduling gaps.
  • Invoicing becomes more efficient with pre-filled data from bookings, minimizing errors and reducing admin time.
  • A central dashboard provides a quick overview of bookings, payments, and customer data at a glance.

By addressing these challenges, we built a scalable, intuitive, and powerful garage management system that enhances workflow efficiency, reduces administrative workload, and improves customer satisfaction.
