    What automotive software development includes, and what it does not

    A fixed-scope quote only works when both sides agree on the edges. This is the usual split for this service; your quote states your own.

    Included

    • Online service booking that checks real bay, technician and parts capacity per location
    • Digital estimates with photos and one-tap customer approval, with a record of what was approved
    • Customer app or portal with vehicle history, reminders by mileage and date, and payments
    • Parts inventory across branches with transfers, supplier orders and barcode counts
    • Fleet customer portal with vehicle lists, approval rules and consolidated invoicing
    • Integration with your dealer management or shop management system where the vendor allows

    Not included (or quoted separately)

    • Replacing the shop management or DMS platform; it stays the system of record for repair orders and accounting
    • Labour guide and parts catalogue subscriptions; we integrate with the ones you license
    • Diagnostic tool integrations, unless the vendor offers an API
    • Vehicle listing syndication to marketplaces, quoted separately if needed
    • Financing approvals; we integrate with lenders that offer an API

    How a automotive software project runs

    1. 1

      Discovery

      We map how a job moves today: booking, check-in, estimate, approval, parts, invoice, follow-up. We ask your DMS vendor what it exposes before quoting integration.

    2. 2

      Written quote

      Fixed scope for the first release, usually booking, estimates and reminders, with parts and fleet portals as later phases.

    3. 3

      Design

      Booking rules (bay types, technician skills, service durations, parts lead times) are written as a table your service manager signs off before we build.

    4. 4

      Build and integrate

      Booking engine, estimate flow and DMS sync built against a copy of your data, then tested with one location.

    5. 5

      Launch

      One location first, then the rest. Advisors get a one-page guide and a test booking checklist.

    6. 6

      Support

      Monitoring, DMS API changes, seasonal reminder campaigns and new services added as you grow.

    What you receive

    • Source code, app store listings and infrastructure in your accounts
    • Booking site, customer portal or app, advisor tools and parts screens deployed with monitoring
    • Capacity rule table and estimate templates as configurable settings
    • Integration documentation for your DMS, processor and messaging tools
    • Reporting: booked hours, approval rate, reminder conversion, parts turns

    Technology choices and when each fits

    ChoiceWhen it fits
    Responsive booking siteThe first release for almost every shop. Customers book from a phone without installing anything.
    Customer mobile appDealer groups and chains with repeat service customers, fleet accounts, or loyalty programs.
    DMS or shop system API integrationWhen the vendor exposes customers, vehicles and repair orders. Otherwise scheduled exports.
    Multi-branch parts inventory moduleShops with a warehouse, branch transfers or online parts sales.
    SMS and email gatewayReminders, estimate approvals and pickup notices. Consent is recorded for CASL.

    What drives the cost

    We do not publish prices for this service because these factors move the number more than anything else. You get a written, fixed-scope quote after discovery.

    • DMS or shop system API availability and depth
    • Number of locations and how different their services and capacity are
    • Parts inventory scope: single shelf or multi-branch with transfers
    • Digital estimate, approval and payment flows
    • Native app versus mobile web
    • Fleet portal roles and invoicing rules

    Typical timelines

    Ranges for the scope described on this page, not a promise for yours. The last column is what pushes a project to either end.

    PhaseRangeWhat moves it
    Discovery and system access1 to 3 weeksDMS vendor cooperation
    First release: booking, estimates, reminders8 to 12 weeksLocation count and integration depth
    Parts inventory or fleet portal6 to 10 weeks per phaseBranch count and pricing rules

    Risks we plan for

    • Overbooking if capacity rules are wrong; the rule table is tested with a month of historical jobs before launch
    • DMS vendors without an API; we say so in discovery and quote an export-based option instead
    • Reminder fatigue; rules combine mileage, date and service history, not calendar blasts
    • Two parts counts; the inventory module becomes the single record and syncs outward
    • Provincial rules on estimates and invoices for repair shops; the software produces the records, counsel confirms them

    Questions about automotive software development

    Can you integrate with our dealer management system?

    It depends on the vendor. Some offer APIs or certified integration programs, some only exports. We confirm what your DMS allows before quoting and design the integration so it can be swapped if you change systems.

    Will online booking check real capacity?

    Yes. We model bays, technician skills, service durations and parts lead times per location so the slots offered are ones the shop can actually fill.

    Can you build parts inventory software for several branches?

    Yes. Multi-branch stock, transfers, supplier orders and barcode counts are common scope, synced to your shop system or accounting platform.

    Do you build customer apps for dealerships?

    Yes. Booking, reminders, service history, digital estimates, approvals and payments. We usually start with a mobile web app and add store apps when usage justifies them.
