FOR PHONE & TABLET REPAIR SHOPS

Phone and tablet repair tickets, from check-in to pickup

Screens, batteries, charging ports and water damage. Record each device's condition before you open it, get the customer's signature on screen, and let them approve the estimate and check progress from their phone.

How one phone and tablet repair flows

An example of a phone and tablet repair in Repair Karte (the customer and item are made up). The plan for each step is written under it; see pricing.

  1. 1Check-in

    Check in the smartphone for “cracked screen, touch not responding”

    Pick the item type and the usual work in a tap, write the symptom, and print a claim tag (PDF on Letter or A4). The customer signs on screen.

    Plan: All plans (Free: up to 100 repairs a month) · QR code on the claim tag: Standard and up

  2. 2Estimate

    Send a $149.00 estimate for “screen replacement”

    The customer approves it on the repair's status page. On Standard and Pro the estimate is emailed automatically, and a reminder goes out if they haven't answered (after 5 days to start).

    Plan: Approval on the status page: all plans · Automatic email and reminders: Standard and up

  3. 3In repair

    Add “In repair (function check)” to the timeline

    The customer can check progress on the repair's status page anytime (from the QR code on their claim tag, or by looking up their phone number). When the parts arrive, move the status on.

    Plan: Status page: all plans · QR code on the claim tag: Standard and up

  4. 4Ready

    Mark it complete, and the customer is told

    A ready-for-pickup email goes out with a link to the status page, where the customer can book a pickup time and pay by card before coming in.

    Plan: Email: Standard and up · Card payment (Stripe): Standard and up · Pickup booking: Pro

  5. 5Pickup

    Hand it over and record the payment

    Record how it was paid (deposits are subtracted automatically). The repair stays on Emily's history, and on the item's history by serial number.

Questions from phone & tablet repair shops

How do I record a phone's condition before the repair?

Note it in the repair details (for example, cracked back glass, data loss explained) and use the pre-repair checklist. The customer signs on screen, and the record is there to compare at pickup. On Pro you can add photos and draw on them.

Can I move my data over from RepairDesk or RepairShopr?

Yes. Import their exports, or any Excel or CSV ledger, yourself on every plan, up to 2,000 rows at a time. Customers are not notified when you import.
