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.

Workshops, Panel Shops & Dealerships

What we walk into — and what we leave behind.

The reality

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.

How we solve it

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.
