  • Multiple branches in one system (R999 a branch a month)

  • One monthly price instead of a price per user: R549 covers up to 5 technicians
  • Built around walk-in workshops: a printed job card with your logo and a tear-off tag for the item
  • A "came in with" intake checklist for what the customer left with you
  • One-tap WhatsApp updates sent from your own number
  • A ready-made setup for each trade, including bike shops, motor workshops, instrument repair and pool service

Which one should you choose?

ServCraft is the better fit if

  • You need your jobs to flow into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage
  • Your technicians work on site, often without signal, and need an offline app
  • You run several branches or a larger team

JobCardOS is the better fit if

  • You run a small workshop and per-user pricing adds up for your team
  • Most of your work is items brought to your counter that need tagging and tracking
  • You want to keep a service history per bike, vehicle or unit
