Add labor 'on the fly' for work you don't do often or any time you want.
Labor can be added to a labor list you can use over and over again. If you change your labor rate the change to the labor will be automatic unless you do an override for that job.
Labor descriptions can be a couple of words or up to 2350 characters.
Inventory and parts as you go
Items can be entered into the Work Order as you buy them or from inventory.
Inventory is standard in Digital Wrench, however, if you do not want to use inventory, you can enter parts as you use them for each work order.
When entering inventory, parts are put into categories to help you find them quicker.
Example: Drive Shaft, Universals, Heater & Air Conditioning, etc. - there is no limit on categories.
The quantity in stock, quantity on order, date purchased, cost, retail, number sold, location, vendor, minimum in stock, part number, date last sold and number sold, are all tracked for you. When parts are ordered, the quantity is automatically tracked in the On
Order field for that part. When they are received, the quantity received is put in the quantity in stock and that number is subtracted from the quantity on order.
As you make Work Orders, the parts are put On Hold, and that number is subtracted from In Stock. When the Work Order is completed, they are taken away from the On Hold.
A mark up field is available for adjusting your retail price. You can also set a different markup for wholesale customers, great for an auto shop that has fleet work.
The Major transaction report, the Activity Report, Shows the income for parts, labor, and other charges by category. It also shows the technician information and Repair Order (Work Order) information. As you use the program, it will show you a comparison on the
same time period last year, last month, year to date, last year for same year to date, and all of last year. This is a great report for owners that like to keep a close eye on trends.

Features of our repair software for auto repair, boat repair or any repair business.
Repair shops, we have added several features that can be turned ON or OFF depending on the repair shops needs. Repair shops that do not want to track insurance information can turn that option off where as auto repair shops that do need insurance can turn that
on. New options have been added that will allow making custom lists for emailing. A creative repair shop could also use this feature to set up what we call user defined fields they can search on and create mailing lists with.
Many repair businesses find they need a easy to use repair order software program like Digital Wrench.
