Rename / Create Invoice Categories:

You can rename the 6 invoice charge categories that will appear on your customers invoice to suit your business, once renamed these will then appear on your customers printed invoice. This gives you great flexibility on how you can use GB Pro creating your own invoice headings to suit your business.

For instance, a substantial amount of garage businesses now charge their customers a disposal charge for things such as tyres, oil and filters, and other used parts. You can create a charge category to show this on the customers invoice. The ability to change these categories is a huge benefit to your business, and clearly shows your customer the amounts on the invoice.

The categories shown on our screen shot and training movies are the default entries – these can be changed as often as you like to reflect your business needs both now and in the future. Your system will come with the following invoice category defaults – Labour , Parts, Lubricants, Outside, Others and Recovery. However you can change these to suit your business they could as easily say – Service – Parts – Disposal charge- Valet- Sundries – Collect Vehicle.

You can change these categories as often as you need to.

The MOT charge category displays the MOT fee without any VAT added to it.

invoice drop Ins:

Using our ‘Invoice drop ins’ you can create ‘Work done’ and ‘Advise’ lines that can be added to your invoice simply by selecting the line and clicking – if you then need to, you can manually edit these descriptions. Using the invoice drop ins is a real time saver and you can create as many of them to reflect your business.

You can create your own parts catalogue and then use the full stock control system to monitor your stock control- or if you prefer you can just enter the part names and create your own parts catalogue, and not worry about stock control. Once you have entered your parts you simply choose each part name from a drop down list, the price and any discount you want to offer is shown on the invoice. Using our stock control system you can account for every part placed on to your system and to what invoice is was allocated to.

You don't have to use the stock control part of GB Pro if you prefer not to.

Parts can also be added to the invoice as non stock items, in which case you enter the part name as you want it to appear on the invoice. All prices can be adjusted at the point of sale.

Do you carry out MOT’s?

Our latest product is an MOT online booking system incorporated into a professionally designed website: Not only is it a professional designed website but its easy for you to alter the contents when you want and as often as you want. MOTORWeb allows your customers to book their own MOT online – using appointment times allocated by you so you don’t lose control. You can even set the system to allow customers to pay online using your existing merchant account.

Stock control

Enter all your parts or just your most popular ones. Once entered onto the system you can analyse each part sale and to what invoice it has been allocated —automatically. If it’s a non stock item you can enter the name as you wish together with quantities and any discounts you want to offer. Depending on how much of the system you want to use you can keep track of stock levels, re-orders and next delivery dates. You can enter a default buying in price and a default selling price – both of which can be altered at the point of sale. Allowing to work out exact margins on your part sales.

You don't have to use the stock control part of GB Pro if you don't want to.

If you do the system will work out buying and selling margins on any of your products. If you sell tyres then you will want to use our ‘price checker’.

Price Checker

Enter your part names for example: Pirelli 185/65/16 then add this to the category you will have created called ’185/65/16′, enter all the different brands that you sell in this size and add them all to this category, now all you have to do from the front screen is select ’185/65/16′ as the category you want to check – and all the tyre brands of that size will appear with price and stock cross check. The system will work with any type of stock, but is most useful for the type of items that customers phone around for getting the best price.
