Description

An all-encompassing automotive software solution that is extensively utilized by numerous auto repair shops and tire retailers. This software offers a variety of features, including inventory management, comprehensive accounting, customer communication via mailouts, estimates and invoices generation, sales monitoring, and inventory oversight, among other functionalities. Renowned for its user-friendly design, it is considered one of the most accessible point of sale systems available. Our organization is well-versed in the demands of the automotive repair software sector, ensuring that the software effectively addresses those requirements. It is a fast and efficient application that enables users to create estimates and print invoices seamlessly from a single interface. Estimates are conveniently stored for future reference, allowing for easy retrieval and assessment. Users can modify estimates as needed, and these can also be printed as invoices or work orders when necessary. The program automatically calculates part and service costs, as well as the final invoice total, streamlining the process and eliminating the risk of manual calculation errors. Additionally, the inventory is dynamically updated to reflect the parts utilized for each transaction, enhancing overall operational efficiency and accuracy. This comprehensive approach not only saves time but also significantly improves the management of resources and customer interactions.

Description

A service writer hands Daedalus a rough note — "stalls at idle, new coil and plugs, 1.2 hr" — and gets back a structured draft: the symptom filed as the write-up, the parts and labor as priced estimate lines costed at the shop's own labour rate. Nothing is committed until a person approves it. Around that sits a full shop-management system for independent auto repair: repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments and scheduling on one record. The same assistant answers questions against the shop's own data — pull a vehicle's history, check the day's schedule, update an order. Vehicle owners get a portal under the shop's branding — at a permanent address, so it is one link to keep — to follow the job, approve work and pay. They can ask it questions rather than phoning in, and it hands off to a person when it can't answer. Shop data exports in full at any time.

Product Features

Auto Repair Shop Management

Daedalus is a comprehensive management solution designed specifically for independent auto repair shops. It consolidates various functions such as repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments, and scheduling into a single accessible record. Service writers can provide the assistant with a brief outline, detailing the symptoms, parts used, and labor hours, and receive a preliminary priced estimate for review. No information is added to the repair order until it has received personal approval. Vehicle owners can monitor the progress of their repairs, authorize work, and complete payments via a branded portal that reflects the shop's identity. Additionally, the shop's data can be fully exported at any moment and is securely backed up each night, encrypted and stored in a dedicated bucket owned by the shop.
