What mobile mechanics usually miss in shop software
- A mileage log for taxes. Trackara Pro keeps an IRS-compliant mileage log and builds Schedule C tax reports.
- A plan for the day's route. Route Optimizer, scheduling, and On-My-Way ETA texts with Proof of Service.
- Working with no signal. Full offline mode on iOS and Android.
- Diagnostics in the same app. Bluetooth OBD2 with ELM327 adapters, plus digital inspections (photo on iOS and Android, video on iOS).
- Getting booked. An online booking portal and a Thumbtack lead pipeline.
What Trackara Pro does not do (yet)
- Integrated parts ordering. Today you order parts from your supplier as usual and add them to the job.
- Multi-bay boards, service advisor workflows, and multi-location reporting. We do not build for fixed multi-bay shops.
- Card processing of our own. Card payments run through your Square account.
