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

  1. Document the job flow from intake to invoice
  2. Define roles (inspection, planning, invoicing)
  3. Build checklist templates you reuse weekly
  4. Decide what customers may see in a portal
  5. Plan data import (customers, vehicles, open jobs)
  6. Pilot one location with a short feedback loop
  7. Train techs on time first; back office on invoicing next
  8. 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.
