Digital Job Cards for Your Auto Repair Garage
Stop losing jobs on paper. Sianty's digital job cards give every vehicle in your workshop a complete, real-time digital record — accessible by every technician and service advisor, from any device.
Paper Job Cards Are Costing Your Workshop Time and Money
Every garage that still runs on paper job cards faces the same daily frustrations. The cost — in time, money and customer trust — adds up fast.
-
Jobs get lost between desk and workshopTechnicians waste time hunting for paperwork. Service advisors phone the workshop to chase updates.
-
Missed parts mean undercharged invoicesA single missed part on a job card can mean an undercharged invoice. Multiply this across 30 jobs a week.
-
Customers wait longer than promisedA lost job card means a customer waiting longer. That costs you repeat business and trust.
Sianty fixes this. Completely.
Our Workshop Management Software was built specifically to replace paper job cards with digital records — giving your whole team one shared, live source of truth for every vehicle in your workshop.
What Is a Digital Job Card?
A digital job card is an electronic version of the traditional paper repair order used in garages and auto workshops. It is created the moment a vehicle arrives and stays open — capturing every detail — until the work is complete, the customer has approved it and the invoice is raised.
In Sianty's garage management system, a digital job card stores every piece of information your team needs — from the first inspection note to the final signed invoice. Every field is searchable. Every update is timestamped. Nothing gets lost.

Real-Time Status Across Your Whole Workshop
Every job moves through clear stages: Booked In → In Progress → Waiting for Parts → Quality Check → Ready for Collection. Every stage change is logged and visible on any device.
Attach Photos and Inspection Notes
Technicians can photograph damage, fault findings or completed work from their phone. Photos are permanently attached to the job card, protecting your business from disputes.

Send automatic SMS or email updates when job status changes. Capture customer approval for additional work. Record a digital signature on collection — stored permanently.

How Digital Job Cards Work in Sianty's Workshop Management System
Vehicle Check-In
When a customer arrives, the service advisor opens a new job card in Sianty. They enter the vehicle registration and the system pulls make, model and history automatically. Customer details, reported fault and any additional instructions are added. The job card is live.
Technician Assignment
The job card is assigned to a technician. They receive a notification on their device. The job appears in their personal job queue with all the details the service advisor entered — no ambiguity, no paperwork required.
Work in Progress
As the technician works, they update the job card: logging parts used, adding inspection notes, attaching photos and recording labour time. The service desk sees every update in real time without needing to walk to the workshop floor.
Customer Approval
If additional work is identified, the service advisor contacts the customer and logs their approval directly in the job card. If Sianty's customer portal is enabled, the customer can approve work digitally from their phone.
Job Completion
The technician marks the job as complete. The service advisor reviews the job card, raises the invoice automatically from the recorded data and sends payment details to the customer. The vehicle is marked ready for collection.
Vehicle Collection
The customer collects the vehicle. A digital signature is captured and stored against the job card. The completed record — including all photos, notes, parts and the signed invoice — is stored permanently in your garage management software.
What Garages Gain When They Switch to Digital Job Cards
Faster Vehicle Turnaround
When technicians have clear digital instructions and can update job status from their phone, jobs move through your workshop faster. Fewer questions, fewer interruptions, less time wasted.
Fewer Billing Mistakes
Every part logged on a job card flows automatically into the invoice. Nothing gets forgotten. Nothing gets undercharged. The invoice reflects exactly what was done — every time.
No More Lost Paperwork
A digital job card cannot be misplaced, water-damaged or taken home in a pocket. Every record is stored securely in Sianty's cloud-based garage management system, accessible from anywhere.
Stronger Customer Trust
Photo evidence, digital approvals and timestamped job histories give customers confidence that the work was done correctly. This reduces disputes and increases repeat business.
Better Management Visibility
The workshop manager sees every open job, every technician's workload and every overdue task on one dashboard. Managing a busy workshop becomes significantly easier.
Accurate Stock Levels
Because parts are logged on the job card and deducted from inventory automatically, your stock levels are always accurate. You know what you have, what you've used and what to order.
