What is Daedalus Shop?

Daedalus keeps an independent auto repair shop on one record — repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments and scheduling in one place. The difference shows at the counter. A service writer gives the assistant a rough note like "stalls at idle, new coil and plugs, 1.2 hr" and it works out which piece is which, and what to charge for it, returning a draft to approve or change. A person signs off before anything is written to a record. Customers follow the job, approve estimates and pay through a portal carrying the shop's own branding. Questions there are answered without tying up the counter, and go to a person when the assistant can't help. Shop data exports in full at any time.

Auto Repair Shop Management

Daedalus is an innovative management software designed for independent auto repair shops, streamlining all aspects of the business from repair orders and estimates to customer approvals, invoicing, payments, and scheduling— all consolidated into a single record. A service writer can provide the assistant with basic information such as symptoms, parts installed, and labor hours, and receive a preliminary pricing draft for review. No information is finalized on the repair order until it receives human approval. Vehicle owners can track the progress of their services, authorize work, and make payments via a customized portal that reflects the shop's brand. Additionally, shop data can be fully exported at any time and is securely backed up each night using encryption to a storage solution owned by the shop.
