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.
