About

Hoist is an all-in-one workshop management software built in New Zealand for Kiwi automotive workshops. It replaces paperwork and manual processes with digital job cards, automated invoicing, and streamlined workflows. By eliminating double-entry, Hoist helps workshops save time and reduce costly errors. Integrated payments and instant invoicing improve cash flow and help businesses get paid faster. Customer communication is automated, keeping clients informed and improving overall satisfaction. Hoist syncs seamlessly with Xero, ensuring accounting data stays accurate and up to date. The result is a smarter, more efficient workshop that runs smoothly day to day.

About

Mech Connect is a cloud-based garage management system for auto repair workshops of every size, from single-bay independents to multi-branch operations. It replaces paper job cards, spreadsheet invoicing, and disconnected tools with one platform that runs the entire workshop. Every vehicle follows a guided 8-stage workflow - drop-off, inspection, diagnosis, estimate, customer approval, repair, invoice, payment - so no job skips a step and nothing leaves unbilled. Features: digital job cards; photo inspections with phone approvals; branded estimates and invoices; payments reconciled across bank, cash, and mobile money (incl. M-Pesa); live parts inventory tied to jobs; built-in double-entry accounting with VAT/tax reports; CRM with vehicle service history; SMS/WhatsApp reminders and campaigns; online booking; technician productivity; multi-branch with HQ roll-up; multi-currency for any market. Runs in any browser, setup in ~30 minutes. Trusted by 150+ workshops in 5+ countries.
