What is Hoist?

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.
