What is Hoist?

Hoist is a cloud-based workshop management solution purpose-built for New Zealand automotive businesses. It helps workshops move away from fragmented systems and paper-based processes. Jobs are managed digitally from start to finish, giving staff clear visibility and control. Automated invoicing reduces admin workload and speeds up payment collection. Hoist’s Xero integration ensures accounting data stays synchronized without manual reconciliation. Payment integrations with EFTPOS providers make checkout fast and reliable. Vehicle lookup features help workshops access critical vehicle information instantly. Automated customer notifications improve communication and professionalism. By reducing errors and saving time, Hoist allows workshop owners to focus on growth instead of admin. The platform is designed to scale with businesses as they grow. Hoist is supported locally with onboarding and ongoing support. It’s a modern solution built specifically for the realities of Kiwi workshops.
