What dmsforall does for your garage

Client records, contacts, vehicles with their owner history, and a global search.

Labour, parts and fee lines, statuses from planned to closed, and supplementary quotes that the client accepts or refuses line by line.

Appointments, and a list of courtesy cars.

Technicians clock their time on repair orders from a shared workshop terminal protected by a PIN, or from their own account.

Quotes, purchase orders, invoices and credit notes, plus down-payment invoices. Numbers come from a continuous series for each year.

Invoices carry a QR reference or a creditor reference, with PDF output. VAT is calculated line by line, and amounts are stored as whole centimes.

An issued invoice is never edited. A credit note corrects it, and a receptionist can issue one only up to a ceiling that management sets.

Cash, card, bank transfer, QR-bill, TWINT, compensation and leasing, recorded per invoice, partial payments included.

Automatic e-mail reminders for overdue invoices, and a WinBIZ export of invoices and payments.

Articles, stock per site, movements that keep who and when, reservations on repair orders, supplier orders and supplier invoices.

Vehicle stock, sales files, trade-ins, and the confirmation of a credit or a leasing.

Seasonal tyre sets in storage, flagged for recall when they have not moved for a while.

An import of Microsoft Access or dBase/FoxPro archives, with a plan to review before anything is written. Tested with archives exported from Auto-i.

Management, accounting, counter, sales, workshop manager, technician, parts, workshop terminal and technical administrator. One rights matrix, checked by the API on every request.

One installation can serve several garages. PostgreSQL row-level security keeps their data separate.

The API describes its endpoints in OpenAPI, and the web interface calls that API.

Caddy, web, API, worker, PostgreSQL and Redis, started with one command. An optional profile makes encrypted nightly backups.

Bank statement reconciliation (camt.054), SMS reminders, accounting exports other than WinBIZ, and reliable margins per part, because stock valuation by FIFO is decided but not yet implemented.

Two-factor sign-in is not available for garage accounts yet. Encryption at rest, off-site backups and the server itself are the operator's job.

The complete install has not been run end to end on a clean machine with a real domain, and a complete restore of a backup has not been proven yet.

The data model, the configuration variables and the screens can still change between releases.

The interface exists in these three languages. The documentation is in English.

Not designed for other countries.

Have invoices, VAT figures and accounting exports checked by a fiduciary.

Connectors to outside services need their own licences or accounts.
