Work Order Management Software Built for Truck Repair Shops

Every job tracked from intake to invoice. Parts, labor lines, time tracking, and customer communication — all in one place. No spreadsheets. No paper job cards. No lost paperwork.

Every job moves through a clear, locked workflow

No more jobs falling through the cracks. Every work order follows the same five-step path from intake to paid.

1
Estimate

Create the job, add proposed labor and parts, email the customer for approval before any work starts.

2
Open

Approved or started — job is active. Techs can clock in. Parts can be ordered from vendors.

3
In Progress

Tech is clocked in. Time recorded per labor line. Live status visible across the shop.

4
Invoiced

Professional invoice emailed to customer. Parts auto-deducted from inventory on close.

5
Paid

Payment recorded. Job archived. Revenue posted to reports automatically.

What running jobs without software actually costs you

❌ Without Wrenchpod
  • Job cards get lost, misfiled, or written wrong
  • No way to see which tech is on which job right now
  • Labor hours estimated by memory — shops routinely underbill
  • Parts added to jobs never tracked against inventory
  • Invoice built manually from scratch each time, prone to errors
  • Customer calls asking for status you have to dig up
✅ With Wrenchpod
  • Every job logged, searchable, visible to the whole shop
  • Real-time tech assignment and clock-in status per WO
  • Clock-in timestamps drive invoiced hours — no guesswork
  • Parts auto-deducted from inventory when WO is invoiced
  • Invoice auto-generated from WO in one click, email in the next
  • Customers approve estimates from their phone with no login

Built for how truck shops actually run jobs

Not generic business software adapted for shops. Purpose-built for the workflow of a heavy duty truck repair operation.

Time Tracking Per Labor Line

Techs clock in on the entire WO or on individual labor lines. Actual clocked hours and flat-rate estimated hours shown side by side. Bill whichever applies — one toggle controls the whole shop’s billing mode.

📦
Parts Tracked on Every WO

Add parts from inventory or ad hoc. Set markups manually or by percentage. Parts are auto-deducted from stock when the WO is invoiced. Every part on every WO is tracked for margin reporting.

📤
Estimate Approval

Send estimates by email. The customer approves or declines from a link in their inbox — no login required. You’re notified instantly. Convert to an open WO in one tap.

👥
Multi-Tech on One WO

Multiple technicians can work the same job simultaneously. Each tech has separate time records and labor lines. The WO aggregates everything. Clock-in auto-assigns the tech to the job.

📄
One-Click Invoicing

Mark the job invoiced and a professional invoice is generated instantly with all labor and parts pre-filled. Email it to the customer directly from Wrenchpod — your shop name in the from field, not a generic sender.

🔍
DOT Inspection Certificates

Generate 49 CFR Part 396-compliant annual inspection certificates from any WO. All 13 inspection categories covered. Inspector qualifications recorded per §396.19. Email certificates to customers. Automated reminders before due dates.

🚗
Vehicle & Customer History

Every WO is linked to a customer and vehicle. VIN decoding pulls vehicle specs. Full service history for any truck is accessible in seconds from the vehicle record — every WO, every part, every DOT inspection.

🛍
Purchase Orders

Need a part not in stock? Create a PO directly from the WO. When parts arrive and the PO is received, inventory is incremented automatically and the parts are available to add to the job.

🤖
AI on Every Work Order

Ask the AI which WOs have been sitting longest, who’s clocked in right now, which jobs are invoiced but not paid. Live shop data, answered in seconds. No other truck shop software does this.

Two plans. All features. Both plans.

Work orders, invoicing, parts, DOT inspections, AI assistant, and staff chat — included in both. No add-ons, no location fees.

Work order software questions, answered.

What is work order management software for truck shops?

It’s a digital system that tracks every repair job from intake through invoice and payment. Wrenchpod replaces paper job cards and spreadsheets with a structured five-step workflow: Estimate, Open, In Progress, Invoiced, Paid — with parts, labor, time, and invoicing all connected.

Can multiple techs work the same work order?

Yes. Multiple technicians can clock into the same WO at the same time. Each has their own labor lines and time records. The WO aggregates all labor and parts regardless of which tech added them.

How does time tracking work on a WO?

Techs clock in on the entire WO or on individual labor lines. Actual clocked hours are shown side by side with estimated hours on every line. Bill actual or flat rate — one toggle in Settings controls the shop’s billing mode.

Can I send estimates before starting the job?

Yes. Create a WO in Estimate status, add proposed labor and parts, and email the estimate. The customer approves or declines from a link — no login required. You’re notified instantly and convert to an open WO in one tap.

Does the work order track parts and inventory?

Yes. Add parts from inventory or ad hoc to any WO. Set markup manually or by percentage. When the WO is invoiced, parts are automatically deducted from stock. Every part on every WO is tracked for margin reporting.

How much does Wrenchpod cost?

Per-Seat plan is $79/user/month for small shops. The Shop Plan is $249/month flat for unlimited users — better value at 4+ staff. Both plans include all features. 30-day free trial, no setup fees, cancel anytime.
