The questions behind every busy workshop day
1
Where is the customer’s car?
2
Have the parts arrived?
3
Which job should the technician start next?
4
Is this car still waiting for authorisation?
5
Which car is due out next?
6
Has the customer been updated?
7
What’s happening with this one?
For sole traders, owner-operated garages with 1–3 mechanics and established independent workshops
Big enough to run your workshop. Simple enough for the smallest garage.
Whether you're working on your own, alongside one mechanic, or managing a busy workshop, TorqueOS gives you the tools to stay organised without unnecessary complexity. Start with the essentials. Add more capabilities as your business grows.
Discover TorqueOS LiteThe workshop problem
Workshops may already have software. The day still gets run by asking around.
A customer asks where the car is. Someone checks whether the parts have arrived. A technician needs another job. A vehicle is waiting for approval while its promised completion time gets closer.
The customer update is forgotten, and the owner has to ask: “What’s happening with this one?”
TorqueOS keeps the job moving: what is happening, what is holding it up, and what needs doing next.
The heart of TorqueOS · Workshop Control
Know where the work stands. Know what happens next.
Workshop Control puts the day’s jobs, technicians, promised times and hold-ups in one working view. Not just a list of job cards: a way to see who is doing what, what can move, and what needs someone’s attention. Reception, the workshop controller and technician work from the same job status. Workshop Display / TV also gives the team a shared view of the working day.
Your workshop chooses which suppliers to work with.
TorqueOS is your workshop's operating system, not a route into one supplier's ecosystem. Its integration layer supports supplier choice. Tell us which tools you use — we'll check your setup with you.

Keep the job’s owner, next action and dependency alongside its status, so a change on the floor has a clear place in the day.
Needs attention
Put the hold-ups where the team can see them.
Parts outstanding. Customer approval needed. A promised time getting close. Finished work still to invoice. Give each one a next action, not another conversation to chase.
Beyond a traditional GMS
The record matters. What happens next matters more.
Garage management software needs customers, vehicles, quotes, job cards, invoices and the diary. TorqueOS keeps the handovers and decisions between them clear.
Current state
What is actually happening with the job now?
Owner
Who owns the next action?
Next action
What needs to happen to move the work forward?
Dependency
What is blocking progress?
Promised time
What has the customer been told?
Commercial value
What work and revenue are at stake?
The point: give the team a clearer answer without having to ask around.
What TorqueOS can do
The workshop operating system around the work you do each day.
TorqueOS brings together the systems an independent workshop needs—from an owner-run one- or two-ramp garage to a growing team: bookings, jobs, staff, parts, approvals, invoices and payments. The workflow is available now. The four packages—Engage, Lite, Workshop and Complete—group features to suit different teams. Choose the package that fits; upgrades keep your data in the same TorqueOS system.

Your connected workshop
The TorqueOS Ecosystem
The tools you use. Working better together.
Vehicle details, estimates, invoices and customer messages closer to the job. Less typing, clearer paperwork and more time for the workshop. Tell us which tools you use — we'll check your setup with you.
Bosch diagnostics. Part of the TorqueOS vision.
We're working to bring Bosch diagnostic technology closer to the everyday workshop workflow — helping garages spend less time on administration and keep their work organised.
Bosch connectivity is not yet available.
Accounting & payments
Estimates, invoices and payment records together around the job. Less searching through paperwork and a clearer view of what has been paid. Ask us about connecting your accounts.
Payment providers — Coming soon
We're working towards simpler customer payments and finance options from the job. These services are not yet available.
Vehicle & diagnostics
Keep customer and vehicle details with the work, so your team can find what they need. We want workshop information and diagnostic results closer to the same job record, too.
Parts & workshop supply
Keep buying from the suppliers you trust. Tell us which parts, tyre, workshop information or finance services you use — we'll check your setup with you and discuss ways to bring more of that work together.
Customer communications
Keep customers informed without losing track of the work. Bring reminders and everyday messages into the workshop routine. We'll help you choose the contact options that suit your garage.
From disconnected to connected
Turn everyday workshop friction into a clearer next action.
The diary says a car is booked in, but not where it is.
Connect the booking, arrival, vehicle custody and collection status.
A finding sits on a job card while the customer waits.
TorqueOS keeps evidence, pricing, additional work and customer authorisation together.
A technician stops because nobody knows where the part is.
Keep the job, parts needed, job costing and the next action together, without tying the garage to one supplier.
Finished work waits to be invoiced or paid.
Keep completion, invoices, payment tracking and receipts in view.
The complete journey
One workshop operation — from booking to completed job.
When a workshop chooses both optional services, a connected website can start the journey. Online booking availability and setup vary by workshop, and either service can also be configured independently.

Workshop Display / TV · Available now
Put the workshop on the wall.
Workshop Display gives the team a shared, at-a-glance view of the working day. Job and status information from Workshop Control stays visible without everyone crowding round a desk.
Digital T-cards bring the work into view on the display: what is in progress, what is waiting, what is ready, and who needs the next update. They make handovers clearer, not replace the conversation when one is needed.
See Workshop Display and digital T-cards in a TorqueOS demo.

Connected job structure
Pieces of work, not just invoice lines.
TorqueOS keeps labour, parts, the assigned technician, approval, promised time and value alongside each piece of work, so the team can see what it needs before it can be finished.

Technician activity
The work should drive the operation, not add admin.
1. Job assigned2. Work starts3. Time recorded4. Work completed5. Additional work found6. Parts needed7. Job state changes8. Management view updates
What a technician records updates the working view: assigned jobs, time recorded, findings, parts needed and changes in job status. That gives reception a clearer next action without asking for the same paperwork twice.
Follow-up work
Work to follow up
Work found but not approved—tyres, brakes, suspension, timing belts, servicing and advisories—should not disappear when the car leaves. TorqueOS keeps it clear what needs following up.

Discover the TorqueOS EcosystemWhy TorqueOS
Shaped by the reality of running an independent workshop.
Too much chasing. Updates held in people’s heads. Admin done twice. No quick answer when someone asks where a car is. TorqueOS comes from that real workshop pressure.
TorqueOS is the operating system for independent workshops.

You may not need more software. You may need your software to do more of the running.
