Question 1

Does BytePhase work for UK garages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BytePhase runs entirely in the browser, so garages across the UK can use it on any desktop or laptop with no install, plus native Android and iOS apps for technicians on the workshop floor. Invoicing supports billing in GBP and VAT-ready invoicing (GST/VAT/sales-tax fields), so a UK garage's estimates and invoices come out correctly formatted without a separate template.

Question 2

What does the activity log record in BytePhase?

Accepted Answer

Every action taken against a repair job — status updates, edits, technician assignment and payment additions — with the user who did it and a timestamp, whether the change came from the admin or an employee. Together the entries form a complete history of each repair ticket.

Question 3

Can I see which employee changed a repair ticket?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that is the point of the feature. Each log entry carries who performed the action and when, so a shop owner or manager can reconstruct exactly how a job moved from intake to delivery without asking around the counter.

Question 4

How does a ticket activity log help with customer disputes?

Accepted Answer

It is evidence. When a customer questions what was done or when, the log shows the recorded sequence of actions on that ticket — dated status changes, edits and payments — which settles most disputes with facts instead of memory.

Question 5

How long is the BytePhase free trial?

Accepted Answer

15 days, no credit card required — deliberately longer than the 14 days common elsewhere, so a shop can run real jobs through a full two-week rhythm, including the weekend rushes, before deciding.

Question 6

What should I test during a repair software trial?

Accepted Answer

Your own workflow, not the feature list: create a real ticket at the counter, import your parts and watch stock deduct when one is fitted, send the customer an automatic update, print or send the invoice in your format, and bring one teammate in to try their role. If those feel faster than your current system, the decision makes itself.

Question 7

Do I need to install anything to start a trial?

Accepted Answer

No — BytePhase is cloud software: sign up, log in from the browser, and add the Android or iOS app if you want the counter in your pocket. Starting a trial takes minutes, not an IT project.

Question 8

How is a repair shop POS different from a retail POS?

Accepted Answer

A retail POS sells items off a shelf. A repair POS bills a job: the device’s ticket, parts used, labour and warranty land in one invoice, and paying it updates the ticket, the inventory and the customer record together. Selling accessories over the counter still works — it is the repair side retail systems lack.

Question 9

Can repair shop POS software handle partial payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes — repairs often take a deposit at intake and the balance at pickup, so a repair POS records advance, partial and final payments against the same ticket, keeping the invoice and the outstanding amount straight without side calculations.

Question 10

What payment methods should a repair shop POS accept?

Accepted Answer

Whatever your customers hand you: cash, cards, and UPI or QR payments where they dominate, such as in India. The useful part is reconciliation — a payment collected through the POS marks its own invoice paid, for example through BytePhase’s UPI and PhonePe integrations.
