Desktop for the front desk
Your receptionist works on the shop computer: the full calendar, the cash register, client records, and every appointment on one wide screen
Altegio is scheduling software for automotive businesses: clients book a repair, a tire change or a car wash online, every technician, bay and lift keeps its own calendar, and the shop runs client records, parts Inventory, Payroll and Analytics in one system
Onboarding with an expert included. No credit card needed
Setting up automotive scheduling software takes an evening, and an Altegio expert walks you through it. Here is the whole path from an empty account to a running car service
01
Enter your service list with prices and durations, then add bays, lifts, and the tire station as resources and attach them to the services that need them
02
Add the Online Booking widget to your website, the booking link to Instagram and WhatsApp, and a Book online button to your Google Maps listing
03
Every booking takes a free bay and a free mechanic, the client gets a confirmation, and a reminder goes out by WhatsApp, SMS, or push before the visit
04
Parts are written off from Inventory by the bill of materials, the receipt lands in Finance, Payroll counts the mechanic's percentage, and Analytics shows bay occupancy
Altegio is the same system on the receptionist's computer and in your mechanics' pockets: the front desk keeps the full calendar on a big screen, technicians see their own shifts in the mobile app, and access permissions decide who sees the money
01
Your receptionist works on the shop computer: the full calendar, the cash register, client records, and every appointment on one wide screen
02
Each mechanic opens the app on their phone and sees their own schedule for today, plus a notification the moment a new appointment lands on them
03
Revenue, occupancy, and today's appointments wherever you are. Several locations join one account, and the numbers for the whole network open in a single window
Google Maps, Instagram, messengers or a QR code: put your Online Booking link wherever clients look for you. A client picks the service, the bay, and the time that works for them, and the appointment lands in your calendar instantly, including the evenings and weekends when nobody is at the phone
Booking widget for your website, or a standalone booking page if you don't have one
Direct booking links for Instagram, WhatsApp, and messengers
A Book online button right on your Google Maps listing
The client picks the service and the time, with no calls to your receptionist
In Altegio, bays, lifts, and equipment are bookable resources. Attach a resource to a service, and the scheduling engine only offers slots where a suitable bay is actually free: two clients can never book the same lift at the same hour
Resources are checked automatically, so double bookings stop happening
Repair zone, car wash, and tire fitting keep independent schedules
Workload by bay in Analytics shows which posts stand idle and when
Live queue arguments end: every car has its own slot
Add custom fields to the booking form and the client card: make, model, license plate, mileage. When the client arrives, the full picture is one search away: every past visit, every service done, every payment
Custom fields for make, model, plate, and mileage
The client tells you which car is coming in while booking online
Visit and payment history is saved automatically from the first appointment
Client categories separate fleet accounts, regulars, and first-timers
An empty bay is paid mechanic hours with no revenue. Altegio confirms every appointment and reminds the client before the visit, so your day stays as full as you planned it
01
WhatsApp, SMS, and push notifications go out before the visit, on the timing you set
02
After a cancellation or no-show, the system invites the client to rebook on its own
03
After the visit Altegio asks for a review, which grows the rating clients judge you by
Attach a bill of materials to a service: oil, filters, brake pads, consumables. When the job is done, Altegio deducts the parts from Inventory automatically and shows the real cost of every repair
Parts and consumables are written off per service, with no manual counting
Arrivals, purchase orders, and stocktaking live next to your calendar
Low-stock alerts stop the mid-week we ran out of filters problem
Sell wipers, fluids, and accessories in the same receipt as the job
Every appointment closes into a receipt, every receipt lands in Finance. Analytics shows revenue, average ticket, bay occupancy, and returning clients, so you decide on numbers instead of gut feeling
Payroll rules for percentage-based mechanics: services, parts sold, or a fixed rate
Any mix of rules per employee, recalculated automatically
Revenue, expenses, and cash flow by location
Reports on services, staff, and client return rates
A car needs an oil change every few months and new tires every season: your revenue hides in repeat visits. Clients with a seasonal tire change coming up hear from you before they hear from a competitor
01
Discounts or bonus points with flexible rules that reward clients for coming back
02
Lapsed clients get a personal invitation to book again, timed the way you set it
03
Client categories let you message fleet accounts, VIPs, and first-timers differently
From a single-bay garage to a chain of car service centres: the same scheduling, resources, and Inventory adapt to how your shop actually works
Bays, lifts, and mechanics on one calendar, with parts written off per job and payroll calculated for you
Fast slots, wash types and add-ons in the booking form, and a schedule that survives the weekend rush
Seasonal peaks planned in advance: parallel stations, short slots, and reminders when it's time to swap tires
Several locations in one account, chain Reports, and access permissions per role
Altegio connects to the software your shop already pays for and to the channels that bring you clients: maps and aggregators, telephony, payments, and messengers all feed one calendar
IP telephony: the client's card pops up when they call, so you greet them by name
Google Maps and aggregators send bookings straight into your calendar
Online payments and receipts, plus WhatsApp notifications
Open API and webhooks when you need your own integration
