Enter Work Order information from
one screen
When you enter a new Work Order a customer
selection table allows you to the pick an existing
customer or add a new one. Once the customer has
been selected, all the information about that customer
is brought into the Work Order for you. Click on the
parts button and add as many parts as you want. The
parts are totaled for you and the totals are brought
into the work order. Click on the Labor button and
add the labor. The labor totals are brought into the
Work Order for you. Hazardous waste is an example
of one item that can be put in Other Charges. This is
added the same way.
Taxes are applied according to the percentage you
enter in Company Setup.
You can add discounts and Supply Charges. Supply
charges would be a percentage of the parts price to
help calculate a disposal price.
Example items such as brake fluid, power steering
fluid, etc. could be included under supply charges.
Click one button and get a profit report for any
invoice or estimate you do at your repair shop. This
is a great report for auto, boat and other repair
businesses.
Work Orders can be paid in full or charged. When
charged you can make payments on the completed
work orders.
Print a list of all customers with outstanding balances
or print copies of the work orders to mail to
customers.
Customer History
Have you had a customer come in that you did work
for 6 months or a year ago?
Did it require you to search through file cabinets and
boxes for hours to find a copy of that Invoice?
I'm sure you could have been doing something more
profitable!
With Digital Wrench you can bring up a customers
old Invoices in Seconds by clicking on the customer
history button. All Work Orders for that customer
display allowing you to pick the one you want. You
can look at all the parts, labor, etc. for that Work
Order. You can even print the customer history you
want; for one Work Order, or for all Work Orders!
Don't work hard, work smart using our software in
your auto, boat, or other repair shop.
Labor
Labor can be imported from the Real-Time Labor
Guide©, if you have that installed in your auto shop.
Add labor 'on the fly' for work you don't do often or
any time you want.
Labor can be added to a labor list you can use over
and over again. If you change your labor rate the
change to the labor will be automatic unless you do
an override for that job.
Labor descriptions can be a couple of words or up to
1000 characters.
Inventory and parts as you go
Items can be entered into the Work Order as you buy
them or from inventory.
Inventory is standard in Digital Wrench, however, if
you do not want to use inventory, you can enter parts
as you use them for each work order.
When entering inventory, parts are put into
categories to help you find them quicker.
Example: Drive Shaft, Universals, Heater & Air
Conditioning, etc. - there is no limit on categories.
The quantity in stock, quantity on order, date
purchased, cost, retail, number sold, location, vendor,
minimum in stock, part number, date last sold and
number sold, are all tracked for you. When parts are
ordered, the quantity is automatically tracked in the
On Order field for that part. When they are received,
the quantity received is put in the quantity in stock
and that number is subtracted from the quantity on
order.
As you make Work Orders, the parts are put On
Hold, and that number is subtracted from In Stock.
When the Work Order is completed, they are taken
away from the On Hold.
A mark up field is available for adjusting your retail
price. You can also set a different markup for
wholesale customers, great for an auto shop that has
fleet work.
The Major transaction report, the Activity Report,
Shows the income for parts, labor, and other charges
by category. It also shows the technician information
and Repair Order (Work Order) information. As you
use the program, it will show you a comparison on
the same time period last year, last month, year to
date, last year for same year to date, and all of last
year. This is a great report for owners that like to
keep a close eye on trends.
Suggest Repairs
The customer memo prints on the invoice allowing
you to enter notes that suggest needed repairs for
auto, boat, or any business.

the IN button. The parts will automatically be

or cancel the suggested re order with just the click of
the mouse.

Features of our repair software for auto repair, boat
repair or any repair business.
Auto repair shops we have added several features
that can be turned ON or OFF depending on the auto
repair shops needs. Auto repair shops that do not
want to track insurance information can turn that
option off where as auto repair shops that do need
insurance can turn that on. New options for boat
repair have been added that will allow making
custom lists for emailing. A creative auto repair shop
could also use this feature to set up what we call user
defined fields they can search on and create mailing
lists with.
Many auto repair businesses find they need a easy to
use auto repair software program like Digital
Wrench.
