GarageFlow

GarageFlow is a workflow management app for automotive repair shops that integrates job status tracking, parts ordering, customer history, invoicing, and real-time communication between office and mechanics. It replaces whiteboards, sticky notes, and disconnected tools with a unified, affordable platform tailored to small garages.

Key Features
  • Job board with drag-and-drop status updates (e.g., received, in progress, waiting for parts, ready)
  • Built-in parts ordering with supplier integration and inventory tracking
  • Customer history and vehicle profiles with service records
  • In-app messaging and notifications between front office and mechanics
Target Users: Small to medium auto repair shop owners and their staff (mechanics, service advisors, managers) who currently rely on manual methods or fragmented tools.
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription (monthly or annual) tiered by number of active jobs or users, with a free trial for small shops.
