The connection fails
If the internet doesn't reach the workshop properly, Gestión Taller keeps the work moving.
01Comparison
Two of our own tools for two ways of running a workshop.
In short
Gestión Taller is a simple Android app that runs at the workshop with no internet, suited to a local setup that one person or several can use. MecánicOS is web software for shared work, several devices and access from off site, with one or up to five users depending on the plan.
Who it's for
For anyone who already knows both names and wants a straight comparison that includes the limits as well as the features, before taking the next step.
The real problem
Choosing by the number of features leads to putting in too much, or falling short. The real fit shows up when you compare platform, connection, users and where you work from.
What decides it
It depends on how you work, not on a feature list
Gestión Taller keeps the work on Android and at the workshop. MecánicOS centralises the organisation on the web so it can be shared. Both cover the core of the workshop, but they are not interchangeable once working without internet or getting in from off site comes into play.

The decision
MecánicOS
Web software
- Platform
- Android app
- Web: PC, phone and tablet
- Connection
- Works with no internet
- Needs internet
- Access
- Android and web on the same WiFi
- From outside the workshop and several devices
- Working
- Local, one person or several
- Shared, several users at the same time
The differences, one by one
- 01Gestión Taller: Android, local, no internet needed, web access on the workshop network
- 02MecánicOS: web from computer, phone and tablet
- 03MecánicOS: users, roles, assigned mechanics, stock and profitability
- 04Both: customers, vehicles, repairs, orders and documents
A possible move, not an obligation
A workshop can start with Gestión Taller and move to MecánicOS if the team grows or it needs access from off site. There is an import for customers, vehicles and repairs. That import covers those three; not other data.
Three common situations
Front desk, office and workshop
If several people need the same order at once, that's what MecánicOS solves.
You need both
If you need to work with no internet and open it from off site, sort your priorities before choosing.
Before you decide
01Which is better for a sole trader?
Gestión Taller usually fits better: it is simple, runs on Android, works at the workshop and keeps going with no internet. Unless you need access from off site or several devices.
02Which is better for several users?
MecánicOS, if you need to work on the same records at once. Basic allows one user and Pro up to five, with roles and assigned mechanics.
03Can I move from Gestión Taller to MecánicOS?
Yes, there is an importer for customers, vehicles and repairs. It's worth considering the move when the way you work changes.
