G’Day to everyone out there using Workshop Software or considering our product!
We’re convinced that there is extra value we can bring to your store, so I’ve made this summary of the important learnings from the recent Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association webinar, including strong input from David Fraser of Capricorn.
All the best towards building the business of your dreams!

Workshop Software is pleased to announce its official status as Capricorn New Zealand Preferred Supplier.
We are excited by the opportunity our two organisations together can create for the New Zealand Automotive Aftermarket industry.
The market in New Zealand has been relatively untapped when it comes to specialist Automotive Software, something that we think is a great opportunity. With Workshop Software’s state of the art online management system New Zealand Workshops now have a true system they can rely on to deliver what they need now and into the future.
Integrate Workshop Software with your favourite accounting system, Xero or MYOB, and you have a complete business system right from booking through to Profit and Loss. With integration with Repco, and customer reminders including WOF, you’ll be sure your Workshop is not only streamlined, but your customers will keep coming back, putting more money in your pocket.
This is an alliance of two key players in the automotive industry working together to help move the industry forward. This puts the right tools into the hands of Capricorn Members enabling them to compete more effectively with the bigger players and dealerships.
We are looking forward to working closely with Capricorn to help members grow their business.
Workshop Software is pleased to announce the release of two new features that will help Workshops be even more efficient and save time and money.
At the AAAA Trade Show to be held in Melbourne on the 16th – 18th April, Workshop Software is officially launching two amazing new features, that will be included in your Workshop Software subscription … FREE of charge.
The first feature is an iPhone app that allows you to better manage your jobs.
You can clock on and clock off jobs by using the camera in your phone to scan a barcode on the Job Card. You can then click a button to clock on and clock off a job. Think of the efficiency you’ll get by the simplicity of managing your mechanics. Download the App now from the app store, and try it for yourself.
Click this link on your iPhone to download a copy of the App: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/ws-software/id978242988?mt=8.
Workshop Software is pleased to announce the integration with MYOB accounting system. MYOB has long been used by thousands of Mechanical Workshops, and now you can have your favourite accounting system, and worlds best practice Workshop Management system both seamlessly talking with each other.
This means you can process an invoice in Workshop Software and it will automatically flow through to your MYOB system, in real time.
This is an exciting opportunity to allow for a simple transition from using MYOB to do invoices, to using Workshop Software to hanlde the front end of your business and let MYOB handle the back end. This keeps you, your staff, your bookkeeper and accountant happy.
We will have more details about these great new features in the very near future.
Be sure to visit us at the AAAA trade show. We are exhibiting on the Repco stand as part of the Repco SmartLink integration. Be sure to visit us on stand H14 and see these great new features in action.
Workshop Software is delighted to be associated with Capricorn Society as a preferred supplier.
On Saturday, Workshop Software had a display stand at the Sydney Dinner and Display night held at the Hilton Hotel Sydney.
These kind of industry events are a fantastic opportunity for members and suppliers to meet and form new relationships or strengthen existing relationships. For Workshop Software it was a great opportunity to do exactly that with some important industry players and allowed us the opportunity to show members some of the great new things that we have been developing.
I’d like to congratulate Capricorn on their 40th year. Wow, what an achievement to be going strong for so many years. Well done!
Their message of service to members, and that the profits they make are returned to members is stronger than ever. The recent financial results are amazing, all for the benefits of members.
I was honoured to be seated next to Greg Wall, the CEO. When chatting with Greg, it became clearer to me why the Capricorn is so successful. A true leader is someone who engages the whole team and takes them on a journey to a greater place. I could see that Greg’s down to earth, yet professional attitude was a big part in leading this organisation through growth and success.
This also rubs off on the rest of the team. They all seem to have a great attitude and are genuinely committed to Capricorn and its members. There is not a team-member that is not happy to talk with you and give up their time, that flows right from the CEO, through the executive team and all the area managers.
Here’s hoping that Capricorn succeed for 40 more years and beyond.
If you’re not already a member, I’d suggest you do what over 16,000 other automotive businesses have done in Australia and New Zealand and start reaping the rewards that membership offers. Membership is free! For details, check out Capricorns website: http://www.capricorn.coop/
