1 The most popular Workshop Management System in the UK Innovation where it matters. Experience where it counts.

2 Seldom have I been able to recommend software with such confidence. AutoInTouchLIVE Commercial is a fantastic asset to our organisation. Patrick Uren Commercials Ltd (Redruth) Our Garage Management Software means Business! We were one of the pioneers in producing IT systems for the motor industry, developing a range of software suitable for the independent garage. AutoInTouch fast became the benchmark for improving workshop efficiency. Our automotive software solutions have been widely adopted nationwide by independent garages. Our software accommodates all types of business, from one-man bands to multi-branch independent garages. We write, test and support all of our products in-house, at our office in Weston-super-Mare, with our field staff covering the entire UK. We specialise in developing off-the-shelf software, and because everything we supply is developed by us, we can also create bespoke systems for our customers on request. The perfect tool for any commercial workshop Based on our popular AutoInTouchLIVE software, the commercial workshop version has been created to fit the needs of the modern commercial vehicle garage We ve worked closely with several commercial workshops to develop this new product. AutoInTouch CW focuses on safety inspection check sheets, inspection planners, automatic reoccurring diary bookings and job clocking. As it is often the case that the same vehicle will be in at regular intervals, the automatic reoccurring booking feature will save you a great deal of time. Inspections planners can be generated for a customer so they have a clear view of when their equipment is due in. With a click of button you can send the inspection schedule to a customer for all of their equipment. AutoInTouch CW has all the other features found in our AutoInTouchLIVE product, plus much more! Take a look at just some of the features of our software for yourself

3 Customisable Inspection Sheets Automatic Reoccurring Diary Booking AIT CW provides the ability to create custom safety inspection sheets so you can tailor your library to the type of equipment you inspect CUSTOMISABLE INSPECTION SHEETS Allows you to quickly create a reoccurring booking for a vehicle AUTOMATIC REOCCURRING DAIRY BOOKING For example, separate inspections sheets can be created for trailers, lifts, coaches, cranes, etc. Whenever a safety inspection is completed it s stored with the vehicle history for life and can be recalled anytime. Here you can quickly create an inspection schedule for a customer s vehicle. Create all of the reoccurring appointments in your diary for a set date and time, then use the inspection planner to send the schedule on to the customer. You can easily modify the schedule at any time for a single appointment.
