Auto repair software programs are generally employed by mechanics and workshop owners. These software programs are completely different from ordinary software POS programs that are used in general stores and local shops. Due to the differences in the nature of business, auto repair shops use specialized software programs that are specifically tailored for use in mechanical workshops. Using a specially designed POS software program allows you to record invoices, track inventory, and maintain sales records.
Invoice Generation
If you have ever gotten your car repaired from a workshop, you will know the invoice is extremely detailed. It includes all of the parts that were installed in your car, along with the serial number of each part. At the top of the invoice, you will find details of your own vehicle, including the registration, engine, and chassis number. Auto repair POS software programs are designed to print out detailed invoices that are given to customers. It’s important for both parties to be able to keep detailed records. Most POS terminal programs also have automatic backup facilities. You can easily backup all the invoices to a cloud server or on a separate hard drive.
Inventory Management
Many auto repair POS software programs also include inventory management facilities. You can easily add in the number of items available in your inventory through the POS program. As soon as items are sold and added to the invoices, the software program will automatically reduce the inventory. When the inventory is low, the program will automatically give you a notification to place another order. It’s a great option for small business owners who are interested in streamlining their business, and makes it easy for you to manage employees.
