FAQ

Questions buyers ask

What should tyre shops look for in workshop software?

Look for tyre-size-aware stock, customer and vehicle history, job cards, GST invoices with ABN, bookings, reminders, role permissions, reports, CSV export and pricing that is clear in Australian dollars.

Should I choose a generic POS?

A generic POS can work for basic sales, but tyre shops usually need job cards, vehicle history, tyre fitment, stock movement and reminders. Test those workflows before choosing.

Does TyreShop Software connect to Xero or QuickBooks?

There is no live Xero or QuickBooks sync yet. Every invoice is a GST tax invoice with your ABN, and CSV export is available for your bookkeeper. Direct connections are on the roadmap.
