Automotive & Rental

ERP for Automotive Dealers and Rental

DotOne runs the parts counter, the workshop and the rental desk for automotive dealers and vehicle or equipment rental businesses. Spares, service jobs, bookings and invoices share one set of customer and item records.

What slows automotive & rental businesses down

Thousands of part numbers

Fast-moving filters and pads run out while slow parts sit for years, and the counter checks stock by walking to the rack.

Workshop jobs on paper

Job sheets, parts used and labour charges are written by hand, and some never make it to the invoice.

Who has which unit

For rental fleets, keeping track of which vehicle or machine is out, with whom and until when, is done in a diary.

Field staff out of sight

Sales and service staff visiting customers or delivering rentals cannot be seen until they call in.

From first step to last, in one system

  1. 1

    Open the job or booking

    A workshop job card or a rental booking is opened against the customer and the vehicle or unit.

  2. 2

    Issue parts

    Spares are issued from the parts store against the job, by part number and serial where needed.

  3. 3

    Do the work

    Labour and parts are recorded on the job card as the technician works, with status visible to the front desk.

  4. 4

    Invoice and deliver

    The GST invoice is raised from the job card or rental booking, and the unit is handed back or delivered.

  5. 5

    Reorder and review

    Parts below reorder level raise indents, and reports show workshop and rental earnings by month.

Parts, jobs and rentals. On one counter.

Frequently asked questions

Can DotOne track parts by serial number?

Yes. Items can be tracked by batch or serial number from receipt to the customer, which suits engines, batteries and other serialised parts. See inventory management.

Does DotOne track the location of rental vehicles?

No. DotOne does not include vehicle telematics or GPS on the vehicles. It records which unit is booked, with whom and the due date. Field staff can be tracked with the field sales app.

Can service reminders be sent to customers?

Follow-up reminders are created in CRM for your team, so service calls and renewals do not get missed.

Will invoices reach Tally?

Yes. Workshop, parts and rental invoices sync to Tally Prime or Tally ERP 9 with the GST breakup through the Tally connector.
