For appliance repair

Appliance repair software for diagnostics, parts, and the return visit.

Service calls booked online, the diagnostic and the repair quote on the client's phone, model and serial numbers on the job, and the return visit scheduled when the part lands. The core of WorkBench FSM is free.

How it works

1

Booked and dispatched

The client books the service call on your website or you take it on the phone. It lands on the schedule with the appliance details in the notes.

2

Diagnose, quote, fund the part

Quote the repair from the price book with the part as a line item, the client signs on their phone, and a deposit covers the part before you order it.

3

Back when the part arrives

Drag the return visit onto the calendar and the client gets the new time automatically. Model, serial, and photos stay on the job.

What's included

All of it is in Core, the free plan.

Online booking

An embeddable booking widget for your website that shows real availability. Jobs that need a look first go through an approval loop instead of landing straight on the calendar.

Scheduling & dispatch

Month, week, and day views with drag-to-schedule, time blocks, and per-tech filtering. The calendar is the command center, not a read-only report.

Quotes with e-signature

Line items, optional add-ons the client can toggle, discounts, and deposits. Clients review and sign from their phone; accepted quotes convert to jobs in one click.

Deposits up front

Collect a deposit at quote approval — card or bank transfer — so the job is funded before the truck rolls.

Jobs with notes & photos

Every job carries its history: status, notes, and before/after photos from the field, so the office and the crew see the same thing.

One-click invoicing

Finish a job, send the invoice. Clients pay from a link on their phone; deposits and partial payments are first-class, not a workaround.

From the field

“I used to juggle texts, a spreadsheet, and a separate card reader. Now a customer books online, I send the quote from my phone, and they pay the invoice from a link. One app instead of five.”

Questions

How do I charge a diagnostic fee?
Invoice the diagnostic on the first visit, or fold it into the repair quote. Either way the invoice is one click and the client pays from a link.
Where do model and serial numbers go?
In the job's notes, with a photo of the label, or in custom client fields so every appliance at the house is on the client.
How do return visits work?
Schedule the second visit when the part is ordered, then drag it if the delivery slips. The client is told the new time automatically.
Can clients see their repair history?
Yes. The client portal shows past visits, invoices, and payments, and they can request more work from it.
Is WorkBench really free for an appliance repair business?
Yes. The core plan is free with full access for a small team, not a trial, with no card and no clock. Extra users and the optional add-ons are flat monthly prices; the pricing page and the free plan page have the current numbers.
