Description

Hoist is designed to simplify workshop operations for automotive businesses across New Zealand. It centralizes job management, invoicing, and customer communication in one easy-to-use platform. Digital job cards replace paper-based systems, reducing mistakes and improving visibility across jobs. Automated calculations and workflows minimize human error and save administrative time. Hoist integrates directly with Xero for two-way syncing of invoices, payments, and customer data. Built-in EFTPOS integrations allow workshops to take payments quickly and accurately. Vehicle lookup tools provide instant access to registration and WoF history. Customers receive timely updates, improving trust and repeat business. Hoist supports the tools workshops already use, including parts suppliers and payment providers. With a short setup time and free onboarding, teams can start seeing value quickly.
