Customers & vehicles
One record per customer, every vehicle they own, full history kept by VIN — so when a truck changes hands, the work you did on it follows the vehicle. Import your old shop software via CSV in minutes.
Daedalus runs the whole independent shop — customers, vehicles, estimates, invoices, and a customer portal under your own name. Underneath it is a foundation the legacy tools simply don't have. We're not ready to show all of it yet — but the shops who join now will be the first who do.
Daedalus starts there — and then keeps going, into the part of this problem the rest of the industry treats as someone else's job. It changes what a shop platform can actually do for you. We're keeping the specifics close while we finish it. Join early, and you'll be among the first to see what that means.
The day-to-day work of running a repair shop, in one place — designed so nothing is typed twice and nothing slips through.
One record per customer, every vehicle they own, full history kept by VIN — so when a truck changes hands, the work you did on it follows the vehicle. Import your old shop software via CSV in minutes.
Write the estimate, send it for approval, turn it into a repair order, invoice when the work's done, take payment. Parts, labor, tax — carried through automatically. Nothing typed twice.
Customers sign in to a page that wears your shop's name and color — they see your business, not ours. Service history, estimate approvals, online payment. Our byline lives in the footer, where it belongs.
Digital multi-point inspections with photo annotation. Show the customer the worn brake pad instead of describing it — approvals come back faster when they can see what you see.
Two-way messaging and a full comms timeline on every job. The whole conversation — estimates, updates, approvals — in one thread you can actually find later.
A clean dashboard of the figures that actually run a shop — car count, average RO, what's owed, what's owed to you — without building a spreadsheet to find them.
Your data lives in your shop, not ours. We built three layers of ownership in from day one — so you can export, self-host, or walk away any time. No support ticket. No export fee. No waiting period.
We run it, back it up, and keep it fast. Export everything to CSV or JSON any time you like — no support ticket, no export fee, no waiting period.
Connect your own cloud storage and we'll drop an encrypted backup of your entire shop into it every night — with a key only you hold. If we vanished tomorrow, you'd still have last night.
Keep a live, read-only mirror of your shop running on a computer you control. Same product, three layers deep — ownership measured in fact, not in marketing.
Create your shop — no credit card, no commitment. You're straight into a short setup wizard, and I onboard every founding shop personally. Most are running the same day.
Pull your customers and vehicles in via CSV from whatever you're leaving. Or load demo data and poke around first. Empty database? No problem — start with your next repair order and grow.
Write it, click send. The customer approves from their phone, the RO is ready for your tech, and when the work's done you invoice and take payment without leaving the page.
Founding shops start free — first month on us, founding terms
