Independent diesel mechanics and small mobile repair operations are built on technical skill. The money leaks out on the business side - jobs billed wrong, hours not captured, customers not followed up. TMI builds the systems that turn a great mechanic into a great operation.
Diesel mechanics are some of the most skilled tradespeople in the field. Most of them are running the administrative side of their business on a notepad and memory - which means they're consistently leaving money on the table without knowing it.
You spend 45 minutes diagnosing a problem before you start the repair. That time isn't on the invoice because you didn't write it down. Multiply that across every job in a week and you're working for free several hours every single day.
A customer defers a repair because they can't afford it this week. You make a mental note. Six weeks later they've called someone else because the problem got worse and you never reached back out. That job was yours if you had a system to track it.
You quote a job by feel, do the work, and find out at the end you bought $200 in parts you didn't charge for and spent two hours more than you estimated. Without job-level tracking, you can't improve your estimating and the same jobs stay unprofitable indefinitely.
Designed for the independent diesel mechanic or small mobile repair operation - simple enough to actually use in the field, complete enough to capture every dollar you earn.
Start and stop time captured on a phone. Parts logged as they're used. All of it tied to the work order automatically. Billing is built by the time you close the job, not reconstructed from memory later.
Every deferred repair logged against the customer and the unit. Automated follow-up at the right interval. Jobs that were walked away from come back to you instead of to the next mechanic who answers the phone.
Actual hours versus estimated, actual parts cost versus charged - tracked per job and per job type. Over time you see exactly which jobs make money and which ones don't. Your estimates get sharper.
Every vehicle serviced has a digital history tied to your account. When a customer calls about the same truck they brought in eight months ago, you know exactly what you did and what you saw without searching through paper files.
Invoices generated from completed work orders. Payment status tracked. Outstanding balances flagged. You stop losing money to slow-paying customers because you can see exactly who owes what.
For multi-tech operations, job assignments managed from a central dispatch board. The right tech sent to the right call based on location, skills, and current availability. No more coordinating by text message.
