Workauto: Simple Garage Management Software
Helping Small Garages Organise Jobs, Manage Customers, and Stay on Top of Their Workshop
Project Overview
Workauto is simple, cloud-based garage management software built for small and independent UK garages.
Forward Digital was instrumental in building and developing the platform — from initial concept through to the product garages across the UK use today.
It helps workshop owners organise jobs, manage customers, and track schedules without complex systems or long contracts.
Problem
Small and independent garages often struggle with overly complex or expensive management software that isn't designed for their needs.
Many end up relying on paper, spreadsheets, or clunky tools that waste time and make it hard to stay organised.
Solution
We helped build Workauto — a straightforward, cloud-based platform that gives garage owners a clear visual planner, simple job management, and linked customer and vehicle details.
Designed to be easy to use from day one, with no complex setup, no long contracts, and plans starting at just £30/month.
Our Approach
Understanding the Market
We worked closely with garage owners to understand the daily challenges of running a small workshop — from juggling job schedules to keeping track of customer and vehicle history.
The goal was clear: build something simple enough to start using straight away, without the steep learning curve of existing tools.
Building a Product Garages Actually Want to Use
We developed Workauto as an intuitive, cloud-based platform with a visual planner, drag-and-drop job management, and mobile-friendly Tech View for managing jobs from anywhere.
The platform is designed to grow with its users — from a single-bay garage to a multi-ramp workshop — with no complex setup or long-term commitments.

With the mobile-friendly Tech View, technicians can view jobs, log time, add photos, and update notes from their phone or tablet — all synced instantly.
Everything in One Place
Customer details, vehicle history, job notes, photos, and attachments are all linked together — no more digging through paperwork or switching between systems.
