Workshop management software that gets cars out the door.
Job cards, quotes and invoices, parts, technician clocking per job, bay scheduling, customer updates by WhatsApp, insurer-ready photo records — Swiss Workshop, built in South Africa for mechanical, panel, auto-electrical and dealership workshops.
For independent workshops, panel beaters, fleet workshops, tyre and exhaust fitment centres and dealer service departments.
What we walk into — and what we leave behind.
Job cards on a clipboard with a torn carbon copy. Parts ordered twice. Technicians' hours guessed at month-end. Insurers asking for photos you didn't take. Customers phoning every hour. Bays sitting empty while a car waits for a part.
Swiss Workshop runs the whole flow — booking, check-in photos, job card, quote and authorisation, parts, technician clocking, bay scheduling, QC, invoice — with automatic WhatsApp updates to the customer and insurer-ready records.
The workflows, and the rules behind them.

- Parts ordering, stock and supplier returns
- Technician clocking per job and efficiency reports
- Bay and courtesy-car scheduling
- WhatsApp and SMS customer updates
- Insurer and assessor photo records
- Invoicing and accounting export
