How a camera or lens repair moves through BytePhase
Camera shop software has to cope with jobs that take weeks and gear worth more than the repair. In BytePhase’s camera repair shop software every step stays on one job, with the serial number of the body and of each lens on record.

Customer, device type, brand and model, serial number typed or scanned, and accessories such as the battery, charger and caps. A body and two lenses go in as a bulk job, one job per item. - 2

A checklist for each device type, such as autofocus and all elements secure for a lens, with photos and the customer’s signature. - 3
Write the diagnosis report
Note what you found, such as fungus, a sticky aperture or a shutter error, and share it before any work starts. - 4
Quote and get approval

Pick who works on it. They are alerted and open the job in the BytePhase app. - 6
Fit parts or send it to a specialist
Shutter units and flex cables come off stock and onto the bill. A lens for fungus cleaning goes to a specialist with a delivery challan. - 7

Camera and lens rentals next to repairs
Photographers who bring you repairs also hire gear. List bodies, lenses and gimbals as rental devices with their serial number, monthly rent and security deposit. A contract collects the deposit, adds the rent each cycle and shows which units are on rent, available or under repair; a returned unit goes back to Available. Track the spares in inventory.
Every body and lens on one ticket
The job holds the customer, the body or lens with its serial number, accessories, the fault, a checklist, condition photos and signatures at intake and pickup, with the diagnosis report and the job sheet. The customer’s Jobs tab shows every past repair, and you can search jobs by serial number. See repair ticket management.
