How many orders were opened, what state they are in, which operations and parts come up most often and what the jobs cost: aggregated indicators from the work orders, without manual calculations.
In short: a service manager without an overview tends to decide on impressions. They assume a job is profitable when the orders show otherwise, or they miss that the same part keeps coming back. 4mygarage calculates an analysis summary from the work orders: how many orders were opened, what state they are in, which operations and parts come up most often and what the jobs cost, calculated from their lines. The vehicle history completes the picture. The summary shows what was done and what it cost, based on the data entered on the orders. It does not replace the workshop's accounting.
The analysis summary counts the work orders and groups them by status, so you can see how many jobs are open and how many are finished. It also shows the operations that come up most often, which are the typical jobs of the workshop. It is an overview calculated from the existing orders, not an estimate.
The cost of each job is the sum of the lines on its order, and the summary adds these sums up. The parts fitted most often appear separately, with the number of times they occur on orders. This shows which jobs and which parts carry the highest cost, and which catalogue prices are worth checking.
The overview is completed by each car's history: visits, jobs, parts and the mileage noted. If a car keeps coming back for the same problem, the history shows it. Deciding whether to change a job or a price remains the team's call; the product only brings the order data to the front.
Work orders by status, the operations and parts that come up most often, the cost of jobs calculated from their lines, and vehicle histories. These are aggregated indicators across the orders.
As work orders are opened and closed, the summary reflects the new data.
The sum of its operation and part lines, each with its quantity and price. The summary takes these totals from the work orders.
The visits, work orders, parts fitted and the mileage noted at each visit, searched by registration number or VIN.
Yes. The parts fitted most often appear, taken from the lines of the work orders. The product does not track warehouse quantities.
No. It shows what was done and what the jobs cost, based on the order data. Accounting and tax documents remain outside the product.
We show you the analysis summary on your orders and how to read the indicators, without manual calculations in a spreadsheet.

4mygarage brings into one application the vehicle card, work orders with labour and parts lines, the catalogue of operations and parts, service reminders and an analysis summary built from work orders.
The customer complaint, mileage at reception, scheduled and reception dates, a status that moves step by step, and labour and parts lines with quantities and catalogue prices.
No. 4mygarage does not issue invoices and has no e-invoicing or ANAF connection. The work order keeps labour and parts lines, with quantities and prices, as a record of the intervention.
No. 4mygarage does not send SMS, WhatsApp or email to customers. Reminders and work order status are for the service team, which decides what to tell each customer.
No. There is no stock module with alarms. Parts appear as lines on the work order, with quantity and catalogue price, so you can see what was used on each vehicle.
