FAQ

Can I look up past repairs by phone number?

Yes. Type a name or phone number into the search on the Customers page, and tap the customer to open their repair history. Phone numbers match with or without dashes, and part of a number (such as the last four digits) works too. If a customer has a second number, like home and mobile, add it on their page and either number will find them. At check-in, entering a phone number also brings up that customer's past repairs.

How is this different from tracking items by serial number?

Customer records group repairs by customer, using the phone number. Serial numbers group repairs of the same item. Turn on Settings > Check-in & jobs > Serial number to ask for it at check-in, and the Customers page gets a Customers / Items switch showing how many times each item has been in and its full history. Even when an item changes hands, the serial number links it to its earlier repairs (all plans).

Can I bring in my existing records?

Yes, free on every plan. Under Settings > Check-in & jobs > Ask us to import, send us an Excel or CSV file, an export from another repair system, or photos of your paper ledger, and our team imports it for you. We'll let you know in the support chat when it's done. Customers are grouped by phone number, so their past repairs are searchable from then on.

How many staff can see the same customer records?

Customer records and repair history are on every plan. The number of staff who can log in depends on the plan: 1 on Free, up to 3 on Standard, and unlimited on Pro. Customer notes are shared with everyone who logs in.

Can customers look up their own repairs?

Yes, on every plan. On your shop's status page, a customer enters their phone number and sees their repairs with the status and estimate of each. Look-ups from one place are limited, so nobody can try numbers one after another to find someone else's repairs.

Can I use my customer list for email marketing?

Connect Mailchimp and customers with an email address are added to your audience automatically, tagged by item type or repair tag if you like (Standard and Pro).
