Checklist: digitizing your garage
A practical checklist to replace Excel/Access: processes, roles, data import, and floor adoption.
Digitizing isn’t “install a package.” It’s choosing processes, agreeing roles, and getting adoption on the floor.
Checklist
- Document the job flow from intake to invoice
- Define roles (inspection, planning, invoicing)
- Build checklist templates you reuse weekly
- Decide what customers may see in a portal
- Plan data import (customers, vehicles, open jobs)
- Pilot one location with a short feedback loop
- Train techs on time first; back office on invoicing next
- Measure status calls, invoice errors, time-to-invoice
Cold online booking from the homepage and payment gateways without setup can wait. Motivox does not offer street-side self-booking; customers pick a slot only after quote approval. Online pay for repair invoices needs Mollie or Tikkie connected by the shop. The core win is inspection → quote → approval → hours → invoice.
Start a Motivox trial and walk this checklist for your shop.
