Updates

We’ve introduced a new feature that lets you view vehicle information directly in the interface, powered by NHTSA data. It gives you quick, easy access to essential details about the vehicles you service.

Future iterations are already planned, where we’ll enrich the available information even further to provide the most complete and accurate data possible. Our goal is to make Mechmate a true 360° solution, expanding the depth and reach of relevant information to help technicians work more efficiently.

To view a vehicle’s information, simply click the vehicle’s name from a work order.

We’re pleased to introduce our new pricing plans, designed to fit the varied needs of mechanical shops while keeping our freemium model. Here’s a rundown of the plans we offer:

STARTER plan: Free, with unlimited invoices, up to 3 active work orders, built-in payments, customer management, and a cross-platform app.

ESSENTIAL plan: Everything in the Starter plan, plus unlimited quotes, unlimited work orders, unlimited users, unlimited SMS and emails, reports, workflow, and services & products.

PROFESSIONAL plan: Everything in the Essential plan, plus vehicle inspections, time management, and inventory.

We built these plans to give you the flexibility you need to run your shop, with an option that keeps our shop management software free.

• The user session now refreshes completely seamlessly, so your work is never interrupted.
• Global fine-tuning across the application’s UI
• User interface refinements that make the app friendlier and more intuitive to use.
• PDF generation for work orders and invoices is now faster

We’re glad to roll out a feature that’s essential to managing your team effectively: roles and permissions. You can now assign different permission levels to your employees, giving you better control over who can do what in Mechmate.

Super administrator

The super administrator has full access to the entire application, including critical configurations. It’s the highest access level, with complete control over every Mechmate feature.

Administrator

Administrators can perform every action available on the platform, including managing services, inventory, invoicing and users. They’re responsible for overseeing the system as a whole.

Technician and/or employee

Technicians get an interface built around their day-to-day work. It leaves out the configuration options and focuses on quick access to work orders, workflows and customer records, so they can stay on the operational tasks that matter to their role.

Onboarding

To help you get up and running, we’ve added a short setup guide when you create your account. It walks you through setting your business name, location, hourly rate and more. The goal is a better experience from day one and a smoother start with the app.

• Added technician filters for work orders.
• Mobile interface improvements.
• You can now change a user’s role from their profile.
• Create work orders straight from the index page.
