Sole trader
Running the whole workshop from Android and working with no internet.
01Need
Putting a small workshop in order without installing an ERP.
In short
Gestión Taller usually fits small workshops that want a simple Android app that runs at the workshop with no internet, whether one person or several use it. If you need several users at once or access from off site, MecánicOS can be the better choice even in a small workshop.
Who it's for
For sole traders and people running small workshops who need customers, vehicles, jobs and documents in order without installing a general-purpose ERP.
The real problem
In a small workshop the same person books the vehicle in, repairs it, quotes for it and hands it back. The software should cut down the switching and keep the information, without imposing a structure heavier than the work itself.
Our recommendation
Gestión Taller
Headcount doesn't decide on its own: a workshop with several people can work perfectly well with Gestión Taller if the work happens at the workshop and stays simple. What tips it towards MecánicOS is needing the same records at the same time from several devices, or getting in from off site.
Fit
Workshops that keep everything at the workshop and want something simple, whether one person or several.
Limit
It is not a cloud service or a remote multi-station system.
A practical base for the day-to-day
- 01Customers, vehicles and repairs
- 02Job orders, quotes and invoices
- 03Photos, signatures and document history
- 04Reminders, servicing and backups
Growing without getting stuck
MecánicOS has an importer from Gestión Taller for customers, vehicles and repairs. That lets you start at the workshop and look at a move to the web when the business actually needs it.
Three common situations
Several people
Still fits locally, as long as you don't need the same records at the same time.
Growth
Revisiting the choice when more users appear or you need to open it from off site.
