Pick Any Feature to See What Everyday Problem It Solves
Gate Camera Check-In
Morning queues slow down when staff manually search dusty books or retype long vehicle numbers at the gate.
Digital Job Cards & Bays
Paper job sheets tear, get smeared in oil, or disappear between bays—leaving small repairs unbilled and cars delayed.
1-Tap Service Packages
Advisors waste time typing the same wash, oil, and filter lines every morning or quoting inconsistent prices by vehicle size.
Extra Work Approvals
Nothing hurts workshop trust faster than telling a driver at 5 PM that their LKR 12,000 service became LKR 34,000 without clear proof.
QR Phone Photo Proof
Drivers blame workshops for pre-existing dents at pickup, or photos get lost inside personal WhatsApp chats and staff phones.
Waiting-Room Live TV
Waiting drivers pace around the workshop floor asking mechanics every 15 minutes how much longer their car will take.
SMS Wallet & WhatsApp
Front desks burn out answering status calls, or workshops get burned by surprise telecom bills and accidental midnight reminders.
Auto Service Reminders
Good one-time customers mean well, forget when their oil change is due, and end up pulling into whichever garage sits along their morning commute.
POS Billing & Parts Stock
Counter staff make calculator errors under rush-hour pressure, and owners only realize fast-moving oil filters ran out when a car is already on the lift.
Parts Stock & Low Alerts
Mechanics waste 30 minutes waiting for a runner on a motorbike to fetch a basic filter because nobody noticed the shelf was empty until the oil was drained.
Vehicle Service Passport
Paper service books get misplaced in gloveboxes or damaged, forcing owners to lose resale value because they cannot prove proper maintenance.
Offline + Live Multi-Screen Sync
Cloud-only apps freeze with a spinning circle the moment storm weather or router glitches drop workshop internet, leaving angry drivers waiting at the cash counter.
Staff Roles & Audit Log
When everyone shares one login, owners cannot tell who deleted a bill, applied an unauthorized discount, or adjusted shelf stock counts.
Match Common Workshop Headaches to the Exact Built-In Tool
| Everyday Question | Built-In Feature | Quick Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Do Sri Lankan garages need expensive barrier hardware to use gate plate check-in? | Gate Camera Check-In | No. Cladik Workshop works smoothly with supported standard IP entrance cameras as well as phone camera scan or 2-second manual plate lookup when no camera is installed. |
| How does live bay tracking help workshops serve more vehicles per day? | Digital Job Cards & Bays | Owners immediately spot stalled bays, waiting parts, or cars ready to roll off the lift, cutting idle lift minutes and helping average service centers turn bays faster every afternoon. |
| Which vehicle size price tiers come built into Cladik Workshop service packages? | 1-Tap Service Packages | Every service package supports fixed pricing or five clear vehicle tiers: Motorbike, Three-Wheeler, Small Car, Sedan, and SUV / Van—matching real Sri Lankan service bays. |
| What if an older customer prefers to approve extra repairs over a quick phone call instead of a code? | Extra Work Approvals | Cladik Workshop supports both PIN-code SMS confirmation and a dedicated 'Continue with Verbal Approval' record where the advisor logs the customer's phone permission safely with timestamp and reason. |
| Do mechanics need to log in on their personal WhatsApp to send inspection photos to the office? | QR Phone Photo Proof | No. QR Mobile Capture opens a secure one-time upload page straight from the phone camera and stores all images neatly inside the workshop's private cloud library. |
| Does the Waiting-Room TV update automatically without someone refreshing the browser? | Waiting-Room Live TV | Yes. As soon as an advisor or mechanic taps a vehicle's status in the bay, the Waiting-Room TV updates instantly in real time via a live connection. |
| Can Sri Lankan workshops send pickup alerts in natural Sinhala as well as English? | SMS Wallet & WhatsApp | Yes. Every workshop gets ready-to-edit Sinhala and English message templates (e.g., 'ආයුබෝවන්, ඔබගේ වාහනයේ සේවා කටයුතු අවසන් කර ඇත') plus configurable daytime sending hours like 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM. |
| Will automatic service reminders spam a customer who visited the workshop last week? | Auto Service Reminders | No. Cladik includes a built-in cooldown period (for example, 30 days between reminders) and daily scan quotas so recently visited or already-reminded customers are never messaged twice. |
| Can customers view and download their workshop invoice without installing an app? | POS Billing & Parts Stock | Yes. Every closed invoice generates a clean, workshop-branded share link so customers can inspect itemized labor, parts, and totals right from their mobile browser or print counter receipts. |
| Does Cladik alert the workshop when spare parts or engine oil run low? | Parts Stock & Low Alerts | Yes. When inventory drops below your designated safety threshold, Cladik displays yellow and red warnings on the dashboard and parts inventory screen so you restock before work is disrupted. |
| Can a vehicle owner transfer or share their workshop service records when selling their car? | Vehicle Service Passport | Yes. Owners can generate a clean share link for buyers to inspect verified mileage and maintenance history, or transfer vehicle ownership cleanly when keys change hands. |
| Can two staff members edit jobs on different devices while offline without losing data? | Offline + Live Multi-Screen Sync | No data is lost. Cladik orders changes using safe timestamp conflict protection so reception edits and mechanic updates merge cleanly when devices reconnect. |
| Can a workshop owner block mechanics or advisors from issuing refunds or deleting invoices? | Staff Roles & Audit Log | Yes. Technicians only view assigned jobs, log checklists, and request parts—while financial reports, discounts, refunds, and staff invites stay restricted to Managers or Owners. |
