How Workshop Manager Works

Features You Need to Know About

Send booking confirmations and reminders

Automated reminders keep customers informed without you lifting a finger. MOT dates, service reminders and booking confirmations all send from GDS, reducing no-shows and keeping customers coming back.

Online booking with Connect

Customers can book directly through your website using Connect. Bookings flow straight into your diary with the correct details attached, keeping everything inside the same workflow. No double booking.

Store everything in customer and vehicle history

Every job, document, note, invoice and message is stored in the customer’s profile. Your team always knows what has been done, what was advised and when they’re due back.

See technical data inside the job sheet

Access technical data like HaynesPro without switching systems. View service schedules, wiring diagrams and procedures, then add time estimates straight into your job sheet.

Use integrated parts catalogues

Move staff, stock or bookings between locations and view your full diary across every site. Perfect for workshops with multiple branches or growing teams.

Sync invoices with your accounting software

Connected to Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. Invoices and payments sync automatically so your books stay tidy and your accountant stays happy. Never double-handle financial data again.

We have used GDS since June 2014, and can safely say, that without GDS we would not have been able to run our business as efficiently as we have done. Thanks again for the support you have given us, it has been really reassuring to know that when we have had any issues at all with the system, there is always someone that we could call upon if needed. All of the staff members that we have spoken to over the phone have been really courteous and patient, (we were both brought up before the “computer age” !!!) either talking us through, or accessing our computer remotely and resolving any problems.

We would highly recommend anyone thinking about using garage software to consider GDS.

Having been a member of the Motor Trade for over 40 years and worked with a number of Garage Management Systems, I have found GDS to be a reliable and easy to use system which is ideal for our needs. As we are a charity it is good value for money, with a great support system and the ability to integrate well with our Accounts Department who use SAGE. I have no hesitation in recommending this product.

From the start the team at GDS we’re receptive to our requirements, keen to work with us, listen and more importantly act on feedback to make improvements to their system. Of course there were teething difficulties, as always when moving from one provider to another, and our staff were less than keen to change. We had no choice, and are delighted that we found GDS. The training at the beginning, support on launch day and after was magnificent, the help desk team are excellent two years in we still feel the same, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GDS.
