Connected intelligence

Make smarter decisions with real-time visibility.

Escargo brings the day into one view — what is booked, what is waiting on a decision, what is on the ramp and what is owed — so you act on the job that needs you now.

  • Live operational visibility across bookings, jobs and transport
  • Approvals surfaced before they hold up the workshop
  • Every hour and every euro attributed to the job that earned it
From booking to payment

Every handoff stays connected.

A booking becomes a job. The job connects the customer, technician, parts, transport, payment and vehicle record without forcing your team to rebuild the same information in different systems.

Why Escargo

Powering connected garage experiences

Most workshop software manages the job. Escargo connects the job to the customer, the vehicle movement and the money — so one action updates everything downstream.

Bookings that respect capacity

Customers book from your link. You decide the services, the bays, the mechanics and the deposit.

Evidence, not arguments

Findings and photos recorded at the ramp become the quote the customer sees on their phone.

Customers who stop ringing

A secure link shows the current stage, the approved work and the balance due. No app to download.

Collection without a truck

Request a verified transport provider from inside the job and keep it attached to the same record.

Money that reconciles itself

Deposits, approvals and balances land against the job, so what you invoiced is what was agreed.

See it work

See the platform move

Choose a workflow and step through the real decisions that happen during an automotive job — including the moment it stops and waits for a human to approve.

Escargo Running
01 / 07

Every workflow above stops at a human decision — the customer approving a quote, the owner approving a spend, you choosing a transport provider. Escargo prepares the work and records the result. It never spends your money or commits your customer on its own.

One system

A complete solution for the way a workshop actually runs

A booking is not a calendar entry — it is the start of a vehicle, a customer, a quote, a set of hours and an invoice. Escargo carries all of that on one record so nothing is retyped and nothing is lost between the front desk and the ramp.

  • The booking becomes the job card automatically
  • Findings become the quote; the approved quote becomes the work list
  • Hours worked attach to the job and flow into payroll
  • Transport, parts and payments all land on the same record

Capabilities

Everything the workshop touches in a day

Online booking

Branded booking page, links and QR codes for your site and socials.

Photo evidence

Findings photographed at the ramp and attached to the quote.

Quotes & approvals

Itemised quotes the customer approves — or declines line by line.

Customer tracking

A secure link with plain-language progress. No app, no password.

Collection & recovery

Verified transport providers requested from inside the job.

Live status

You and the customer watch the same collection on the same map.

Parts requests

Mechanics request, owners approve. Nobody spends your money unasked.

Time & attendance

Payments

Deposits, approvals and balances — card or cash, always reconciled.

Reminders & loyalty

Service and NCT nudges that book the next visit for you.

Vehicle jobs

Show the customer exactly what their vehicle needs

Your mechanic records what they found, photographs it, and the quote builds itself from those findings. The customer sees the worn pad — not just a number they have to trust.

  • Findings, photos and advisories captured at the ramp
  • Quotes priced to your labour rate and parts margin
  • Approval recorded against the job, with a timestamp
  • Nothing invoiced that the customer did not approve

The customer

Give customers live updates without extra phone calls

Every customer gets one secure link. They see the stage, the latest update, the approved work and the balance due — and they approve and pay from the same screen. Nothing to download, nothing to remember.

The key changes hands, and the customer's link goes live — one link, plain language, approve and pay in the same place.

Transport & recovery

Offer collection without owning a recovery truck

Request a verified transport provider from inside the job. You compare price, distance and response time before anyone is dispatched — then you, the driver and the customer all watch the same live map.

  • Insurance-checked providers, not a number on a business card
  • Runner or non-runner, planned collection or emergency recovery
  • Photo proof at pickup and delivery, timestamped and geotagged
  • The transport leg bills onto the same job invoice

Team & payroll

Keep your team, time and payroll clear

Clock-ins, completed jobs, part requests, tips, commission and approved pay in one owner-controlled workspace. Staff see their own hours and payslips — and only their own.

  • Hours attributed to the jobs that earned them
  • Parts requested by mechanics, approved only by you
  • Payroll totals visible to the owner, and nobody else by default
  • Payslips exported when the week is approved

Parts and supplies

Search across suppliers without rebuilding the order Coming soon

Compare available supplier quotes, check delivery options, build one Escargo basket, and retain the order beside the job that needs it.

  • One basket across multiple suppliers
  • Price, delivery cost and expected arrival compared side by side
  • The order stays attached to the job that needs the part

Supplier quotes remain marked as examples until live supplier connections are approved. The marketplace is not yet live — parts requests today run through your existing suppliers inside the job.

Money connected to the work

Collect deposits, payments and fees with a clear audit trail.

Link payment activity to the booking, job, provider, customer and final record — so every euro can be traced back to the work that created it.

Deposits at booking

Taken when the customer books, applied automatically against the final balance.

Approved-quote payments

The customer pays what they approved. Nothing else can be invoiced against the job.

Cash recorded too

Cash is logged against the job, so the balance is right whichever way it was paid.

Provider payouts Coming soon

Automatic payouts to transport providers are not yet live. Provider settlement is arranged directly today.

Payment figures shown anywhere on this site are sample interface data. Card payments are handled by our payment provider; Escargo never stores card details.

AI with human control

Help your team find answers and complete work faster.

Escargo AI guides users through platform workflows, vehicle information, customer questions and operational tasks. When it cannot resolve something, it hands the conversation to a human.

  • Answers cite the job, vehicle or message they came from
  • It never approves spending, dispatch or a quote on your behalf
  • "Ask a human" is always one tap away

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do my customers need an app or an account?

No. Customers book from a link, follow their vehicle from a secure link, and approve quotes and pay from their phone — no downloads, no passwords.

Can customers pay online?

Yes — deposits at booking, quote approvals and final balances, all card payments handled securely. Cash is recorded too, so the job balance is always right.

What if the customer can't bring the car in?

Arrange collection or recovery from inside the job — runner or non-runner. You and the customer both see the same live status, with photo proof at collection and delivery.

Does it work on a phone or iPad?

Yes. Escargo is built phone-first and iPad-first — the front desk, the workshop floor and the owner's pocket all get the same simple system.

Can my staff see each other's pay?

No. Staff see only their own hours, tips and payslips. Payroll totals are visible to the owner — and to a payroll manager only if you grant it.
