Q. What is Shop-Ware used for?

Shop-Ware is a complete, cloud-based shop management solution for independent repair shops and multi-location groups, built to replace the separate tools and spreadsheets shops usually stitch together. The repair order, customer communication, parts, payments, and reporting all live in one system. The Digital Vehicle Experience (DVX) shares photos, videos, and notes directly with the customer for faster approvals, backed by AI Parts Matrix for on-target parts pricing and AutoWrite for faster, clearer technician notes. An AI Receptionist answers calls a busy front desk would otherwise miss. A built-in CRM keeps every customer interaction in the same system as the repair order, and Analytics turns that data into everyday shop decisions.


Q. What level of support does Shop-Ware offer?

Shop-Ware offers the following support options:
Email/Help Desk, Chat, Phone Support, FAQs/Forum, Knowledge Base, 24/7 (Live rep)
