Which to choose
Choose Orderry if
- You want one platform for repairs, retail, stock, payroll and accounting
- You need WhatsApp, SMS, a card terminal or an API today
- You want phone apps and AI tools such as call transcription
- You run several locations
Choose Repair Karte if

Repair Karte is also not a good fit for: manufacturers' service departments that need approval steps between departments; on-site and field service: dispatching technicians to customers' homes or businesses; shops whose main need is retail: product inventory, a register, and selling goods; shops that need their own custom repair statuses or a workflow designer; shops that need SMS, WhatsApp, a card terminal, or an accounting or API connection today; working without an internet connection.
Switching from Orderry
If you can export your work orders and customers to Excel or CSV, import them into Repair Karte on any plan. Repair Karte guesses each column from its heading and lets you correct it before anything is saved. Customers are not notified.
You can run both side by side while you decide: try Repair Karte on a few new repairs first. Try a practice shop without signing up, or start free.
