The problem

A workshop runs on phone calls, an agenda and paper work sheets. A time is promised twice, an estimate is agreed by voice and disputed later, and on a quiet day nobody has the time to call the customers who are due.

What it does

A customer scans the code on the workshop’s banner, picks a service and a day, and sees only times that are really free: the system checks bays, mechanics with the right skills, opening hours and holidays. If 2 pm is taken, it offers the nearest alternatives.

In the workshop, every car has a work order with photos, the time logged from the mechanic’s tablet and its full history by plate. The customer approves extra work line by line from the phone, and the invoice goes out as an Italian e-invoice checked against the official schema.

The assistants only draft. An estimate from damage photos, a diagnosis, a booking reply or a customer message waits for a person to approve it, and free times come only from the calendar, never from the model.

Garage Pilot runs on our own server.
