ShineDesk › Workshop job card software

Job card and billing software for workshops and service centres

Open a job card when the vehicle comes in, record its condition, assign a technician, add parts and labour, tell the customer when it is ready and turn the job card into a GST bill — in one app.

Free for 30 days or 20 bills. No card needed.

From vehicle in to bill out

Turn on Job cards in Company Setup. Every job follows the same four stages.

  1. ReceivedVehicle number, make and model, odometer, fuel level, complaints and the intake checklist.
  2. Working and ReadyThe technician's parts and services are added as the work goes on. When it is done, the customer gets a ready message on WhatsApp.
  3. DeliveredConvert the job card to a bill in one click, print it or send it, and the vehicle goes home.

What goes on a ShineDesk job card

Vehicle details
Vehicle number, make and model, odometer reading and fuel level when the vehicle came in.
Intake checklist
Scratches, dents, spare wheel, jack and tools, music system, floor mats, documents (RC and insurance) and valuables — each marked OK, Damaged or Missing, so there are no arguments at delivery.
Complaints and work requested
Write down what the customer asked for, such as brake noise, general service or wash and polish.
Technician
Assign the job to a technician so everyone knows who is working on which vehicle.
Promised delivery
Record the date and time you promised, so the team works to it.
Parts and services with estimate
Search parts and services from your item list and add them with quantity, rate and GST. The estimate total updates as you go.
Print the job card
Print the job card with the checklist for the customer to sign, or keep it on screen.
Convert to bill
When the work is done, the job card becomes a GST bill with all its parts and labour — nothing is typed twice.

Keep customers coming back

A workshop grows on repeat visits. ShineDesk helps you remind customers at the right time.

Service reminders
Set rules on a service item — for example an oil change reminder 90 days after the bill, or an AMC renewal — and ShineDesk sends the reminder on WhatsApp or email at the time you choose. Up to 10 reminders per item.
Appointments
Book appointments with the service, and the customer is told when it is booked and reminded before it.
Vehicle history
Type the customer's mobile number while billing and their old bills and dues show at once.
Service requests (RMA)
For product repairs, customers send a request with product and serial photos from a link, and you track it through approval, service centre and return.
Bills on WhatsApp
Link your workshop's WhatsApp and bills and receipts go to the customer as PDFs from your own number.
Dues and part payments
Track what each customer owes, take part payments and send due reminders with a pay link.

Stock and accounts for the parts counter

Every part used on a bill comes out of stock. Enter supplier bills in purchase entry, get a low-stock list every morning, and see profit by item, customer and month in the MIS report.

Car care and detailing businesses can choose the car care business type in Company Setup. Restaurants, shops and gyms have their own pages: retail billing, restaurant billing.
