Why it exists

Less shop software bloat. More work getting finished.

TorqueLedger replaces the parts of oversized shop systems that slow down a counter. It gives shops a clean operating layer: see the job, explain the work, get approval, invoice it, take payment, and keep the books clean.

One accountHouseholds, fleets, family contacts, and vehicles stay together.

One invoiceLabor, parts, shop supplies, HST, payments, and balances stay visible.

One timelineBookings, inspection findings, approvals, follow-ups, and service history stay connected.

Retention engine

Keep the next repair from slipping away.

TorqueLedger is built around the money shops usually lose: declined work that never gets followed up, balances that sit unpaid, maintenance that gets forgotten, and customers who need a cleaner approval/payment path.

Declined work recoveryEvery declined estimate can become a timed follow-up instead of a forgotten note.

Maintenance remindersDate and mileage-based reminders keep customers coming back before the next failure.

Payment friction removalOffer terminal, manual, e-transfer, online, financing, and card-on-file paths without confusing the customer.

Customer proof trailSigned approvals, consent records, invoices, and history give shops cleaner protection.
