The past few weeks brought major improvements to two parts of your daily routine: vehicle information management and payment tracking. These changes simplify your operations and save you time on repetitive tasks.

Vehicle management: more complete, more practical

Detailed, customizable specifications

You work with complex vehicles that call for precise information. Mechmate now lets you build and maintain a full list of specifications based on industry standards: trim, brakes, tires, colors, and much more.

What changes for you:

Inline editing: Edit specifications right in the interface without jumping between screens
Automatically enriched data: Integration with the NHTSA database for VIN decoding with complete vehicle information
Customization guaranteed: Manually override any automatic value that doesn’t match the reality of your shop
Pinned specifications: Show critical information directly on your work orders (digital and printed) for quick reference
An interface redesigned for efficiency: The new vehicle management interface organizes everything into logical categories. You can edit several fields at once and save in a single action.

Payments: automatic, transparent tracking

No more updating statuses by hand

The new payment management system tracks the state of your invoices automatically. As soon as a payment is recorded, the invoice status updates: DRAFT → READY → SENT → PARTIAL_PAID → PAID.

What changes for you:

Automatic statuses: No more manually changing invoice statuses after every payment
Flexibility preserved: If you don’t record payments, you keep full manual control
Every payment method: Full support for CASH, CHECK, CREDIT_CARD, DEBIT_CARD, WIRE_TRANSFER, OTHER
Full traceability: Each payment can be pending, confirmed, reconciled with the bank, cancelled or refunded

Technical improvements

Migration to XState for more robust state management
Fixed synchronization bugs that caused data loss
Snapshot system to capture a vehicle’s state in your work orders

In short

These improvements mark a major step for Mechmate toward a more complete, professional platform. Vehicle management becomes richer and more customizable, while the payment system automates the repetitive work.

The concrete benefits:

Less time lost searching for or entering vehicle information
Automatic tracking of your invoices and payments
Data that’s always current and reliable
A more secure foundation for your financial operations
