Workshop workflow

Keep the diary and the job record together.

Designed for UK sole traders and small independent workshops, without dealer, forecourt or parts-catalogue complexity. A fuller parts module remains on the Growth roadmap.

Diary and job boardBook work, navigate dates, filter the diary and track booked, in-progress, on-hold, waiting and completed jobs. Archive finished work; overdue only flags open bookings that still need attention.
Customer recordsKeep contact details, notes and contact history linked to the vehicles and workshop jobs they belong to.
Vehicle records and DVLANormalise UK registrations, check duplicates, use DVLA vehicle enquiry with manual entry during outages, and view full MOT history with Pass/Fail and PDF export.
Labour and partsAdd itemised labour and parts on jobs and quotes, use the workshop labour rate and calculate VAT-aware totals. Full parts-sourcing stock tools are roadmap, not live.
Job-sheet PDFsGenerate a branded A4 job sheet—with your workshop logo—from the current customer, vehicle, work and costing record.
Invoices and paymentsCreate invoices from jobs, issue them, record full or partial cash, card and bank payments, and generate invoice PDFs with your workshop logo.

Job controlsOn hold, cancelled and archive, with contact history and job-done SMS templates.
MOT history PDFDVSA MOT history with Pass/Fail on each test and PDF export for UK workshops.
AccountingConnect Xero or download CSV for your accountant from one dedicated Accounting area. Available connections depend on workshop country.

Clear product scope

Built for day-to-day workshop operations.

oembrain is a browser-based system with responsive diary, records, jobs, invoices and settings. It does not claim to be a dealer DMS, a forecourt platform, a parts catalogue or an MOT testing system.

iPhone, iPad and desktop

Use the full web app on iPhone and iPad Safari, or any modern desktop browser—no install required.

Workshop-separated data

Customers, vehicles, jobs, invoices and payments stay within the workshop account.

Locale-aware

English, Spanish and French interfaces are available, with workshop locale and currency settings.

Workshop feedback

What independent garages say about the day-to-day.

Straight talk from workshop owners and office managers—diary clarity, quotes that become jobs, MOT history on the vehicle, and pricing that suits a small bay.

Before oembrain the diary was chaos by mid-morning—texts, sticky notes, nobody sure which bay had what. Now the whole shop can see today’s board without asking me twice.

Mike Sole trader · Manchester

Customers get a proper quote PDF, and when they accept it becomes a job with the lines already there. No more retyping labour and parts onto a job sheet.

Helen Workshop manager · Kent

DVLA lookup and MOT history on the vehicle record saves us hunting paperwork before a test. For what we pay—and no per-technician fees—it does more of the daily work than the last system we tried.
