Flocci Garage POS — garage & workshop software knowledge catalog

Garage management software, explained in plain answers

Every question below gets a direct answer first, details second. This is the same product Flocci Garage POS ships today — you can verify everything in the free demo workspace, which provisions itself in about a minute.

What is garage management software?

Garage management software runs a vehicle workshop end-to-end: it opens a job card for every vehicle, records inspections, produces estimates for customer approval, tracks parts and bays, and closes the loop with an invoice. It replaces the paper job-card register, WhatsApp photo threads and a separate billing program with one system.

What is a digital job card?

A digital job card is the workshop's single record for one vehicle visit: customer complaints, inspection findings, approved work lines, assigned technician and bay, parts issued, and running status. In Flocci Garage POS a job card moves from intake to delivered with every change timestamped, so any staff member can answer 'where is my car?' without walking the floor.

What is a digital vehicle inspection (DVI) and why does it increase approvals?

A DVI is a photo-backed checklist of the vehicle's condition sent to the customer as a link. Customers approve more work when they can see the worn brake pad rather than take a phone call on trust. Flocci adds an AI-written summary in plain language on top of the technician's photos.

How do AI-assisted estimates work?

The technician records the symptom and inspection findings; the AI drafts an estimate with suggested parts and labour lines that the service advisor edits and sends. The customer gets a link to approve or decline individual lines from their phone — creating a written audit trail instead of verbal approvals.

How much does garage software cost in India?

Most Indian workshop software is subscription-priced per workshop per month — publicly listed starter plans in 2026 commonly run in the low thousands of rupees monthly, rising with modules and users. Flocci Garage POS prices differently: credit-based, so you top up Flocci credits and pay only for what your team actually uses, with a free 14-day demo first.

Can customers book a service slot online?

Yes. Flocci Garage POS gives the workshop a public booking link; customers pick a slot on their phone and the appointment lands directly on the day board. Reminders by SMS/email bring vehicles back when the next service is due.

Does workshop software need to be installed on a PC?

Not anymore. Flocci Garage POS runs entirely in the browser on desktop, tablet or phone — nothing to install, and technicians can complete photo inspections from a phone in the service bay. Customer links (inspections, approvals, invoices) open mobile-first.

Flocci Garage POS for two-wheeler workshops & bike service centers

A bike workshop turns over far more vehicles per day than a car garage, so the software has to be fast at intake and closing. Flocci Garage POS opens a job card in seconds, keeps the spares shelf counted, and shares the GST invoice as a link the rider can pay from the saddle.

• High-volume intake: a job card per bike in seconds, with complaint presets instead of typing
• Photo inspections catch chain, brake and tyre wear — riders approve extra work from their phone
• Spares inventory with reorder points sized for fast-moving two-wheeler consumables (oil, pads, plugs)
• Service reminders bring commuter bikes back every few months — the revenue is in the repeat visit

Is Flocci Garage POS suitable for a small bike workshop with 2–3 mechanics?

Yes. There is no per-seat or per-outlet subscription — pricing is credit-based, so a small workshop pays only for what it uses. The 14-day demo is free and provisions itself in about a minute.

Can I track fast-moving spares like engine oil and brake pads?

Yes — the parts inventory tracks stock levels with reorder points and supplier purchase orders, so consumables get reordered before they run out.

Flocci Garage POS for car service centers

A car service center lives and dies by two things: how honestly it can show the customer what the car needs, and how predictably it moves cars through bays. Flocci Garage POS is built around exactly those two — photo-backed inspections with AI summaries, and a bay board that shows where every car is.

• DVI photo checklists with plain-language AI summaries turn 'trust me' into 'see for yourself'
• Estimate approval links let owners approve or decline individual work lines in writing
• Bay and technician view shows which car is where, and which technician is free next
• Service reminders and online booking keep the bays fed without phone tag

Can the customer approve extra work found during service?

Yes — the service advisor sends an updated estimate link; the customer approves or declines each line from their phone, and the decision is recorded on the job card.

Does it handle GST invoices?

Yes — invoices are GST-ready and shared as mobile-friendly payment links.

Flocci Garage POS for multi-brand garages

Independent multi-brand garages compete with authorised service centers on price and honesty — but lose walk-ins when the experience feels informal. Flocci Garage POS gives an independent garage the authorised-center experience: digital intake, photo inspections, written approvals and a professional invoice link, for any make on the floor.

• Vehicle records for any make and model, with full service history per vehicle
• A parts shelf that spans brands, with reorder points and supplier purchase orders
• AI-assisted estimates give consistent, professional quotes regardless of which advisor writes them
• Customer-facing links (inspection, approval, invoice) look as polished as any authorised center's

Can I see a vehicle's full history across visits?

Yes — every vehicle has a record with its job cards, inspections and invoices across all visits, so the advisor knows the car before it enters the bay.

Do I need separate systems per brand?

No — one workspace covers every make and model you service; brands are just attributes on the vehicle record.

Flocci Garage POS for detailing studios & car care

Detailing is visual work sold on before/after proof and booked in slots. Flocci Garage POS covers both: the online booking link fills the calendar, and photo checklists document condition at intake and results at delivery — protecting the studio from 'that scratch was you' disputes.

• Online booking link fills detailing slots without phone back-and-forth
• Intake photo checklists record pre-existing damage before work begins
• Estimates present packages (interior, exterior, ceramic) as clear line items to approve
• Invoice links with payment make pickup a ten-second handoff

Can I document the car's condition before detailing?

Yes — the digital inspection checklist with photos records condition at intake, timestamped, which protects the studio in damage disputes.

Can customers book a slot themselves?

Yes — the public booking link lets customers pick a slot; it lands directly on your day board.

Flocci Garage POS for tyre shops & quick-service bays

Quick-service work — tyres, alignment, oil changes, batteries — is inventory-heavy and speed-sensitive. The margin lives in stock discipline: knowing which sizes are on the shelf and reordering before a size runs out. Flocci Garage POS pairs a seconds-fast job card with a parts inventory built on reorder points and supplier POs.

• Job cards fast enough for a 20-minute tyre swap, not a 3-day engine job
• Inventory by part with reorder points — never lose a sale because a common size ran out
• Supplier purchase orders track what was ordered, received and pending
• GST invoice links close each quick job cleanly at the counter

Does it alert me when a tyre size is running low?

Yes — set a reorder point per part; the inventory flags anything at or below it so you can raise a supplier purchase order before it runs out.

Is it too heavy for quick 20-minute jobs?

No — a job card takes seconds to open and close, and invoicing is a link share; the deeper modules (DVI, estimates) are there only when you need them.

Flocci Garage POS for EV service centers

Electric vehicles change what a workshop records: battery health, motor and controller checks, firmware notes — and far fewer oil changes. Flocci Garage POS handles EVs the way it handles any vehicle: a job card per visit, a photo-backed inspection the owner can read, and a written approval trail — which matters more when the repair conversation is about an expensive battery pack.

• Inspection checklists adapt to EV work — battery condition, connectors, brakes and tyres — with photos attached
• Written estimate approvals protect both sides on high-value battery and controller repairs
• Vehicle history tracks every visit, so degradation conversations are grounded in records, not memory
• Service reminders keep periodic checks (brakes, coolant, tyres) on schedule even without oil-change intervals

Does Flocci Garage POS support electric two-wheelers and cars?

Yes — vehicles are records with make, model and history; electric two-wheelers, cars and hybrids all work the same way. Inspection checklists are flexible, so EV-specific checks like battery condition fit naturally.

Why do EV workshops need written approvals?

EV repairs concentrate cost in a few expensive items — battery packs, controllers, motors. A written, line-by-line approval on the customer's phone creates an audit trail before high-value work begins, protecting the workshop from disputes.

Flocci Garage POS for fleet & commercial vehicle workshops

A workshop that services fleets — taxis, delivery vans, school buses, light commercial vehicles — lives on repeat visits and paperwork. The fleet owner wants history per vehicle and clean invoices; the workshop wants throughput. Flocci Garage POS keeps a service record per vehicle across every visit and closes each job with a GST-ready invoice link the fleet's accountant can file.

• Every vehicle keeps its full job-card and invoice history — answer 'what did we do to this van in March?' in seconds
• Technician assignment and the bay board keep high-volume fleet days moving without a whiteboard
• Parts inventory with purchase orders sustains the consumables commercial vehicles burn through
• Service reminders on intervals keep fleet vehicles maintained before breakdowns cost the operator money

Can I see the complete service history of one fleet vehicle?

Yes — each vehicle has a record with all its job cards, inspections and invoices across visits, so both the workshop and the fleet owner can trace exactly what was done and when.

Does it handle many vehicles from the same customer?

Yes — a customer record holds multiple vehicles, which is exactly the fleet shape: one operator, many vans or taxis, each with its own history and reminders.
