Every step of a service job sits on one customer and vehicle record.

Delivery boundary

This page describes a reference approach, not an automatic bundle. We agree the systems, record ownership, interfaces, approvals, delivery gates and handover before implementation. Published outcomes are used only where their client-approved basis is clear.

Why open source

No per-user fee. Your data stays yours.

Add service advisors and branches without a bigger licence bill, and keep every customer and vehicle record on servers you choose.

Why car workshops in India move to open-source software

A workshop needs full bays and returning customers; both break when bookings sit in a diary, parts in a separate register and follow-ups in memory. In one system, a booking becomes a job card, each part draws down stock and each completed job sets up the next reminder.

Proprietary workshop software charges per user every month, so each new advisor or technician raises the bill. Open-source ERPNext runs job cards, parts control and GST-ready invoicing with no per-user licence, on infrastructure you own.

We built this kind of service, parts and warranty loop for Fixcent. Read how we run an ERPNext implementation, what drives the cost of ERPNext in India, or browse our guides to choosing an ERP.

Automotive software: questions buyers ask

Most Indian workshops are best served by one system for the whole job: online service booking, a job-card and parts ERP, and a customer record that drives reminders. ERPNext covers the back office (job cards, parts, GST invoicing) while a booking site and WhatsApp messages handle the front end, so nothing is typed twice between tools.
