Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about ServiceCenterSoft repair shop software: features, pricing, setup.

About the software

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser on any computer, tablet or phone. Updates appear on their own; there is nothing to reinstall.

Can I move data from my old software?

Often yes. If the data can be exported to a spreadsheet or dumped from a database, we will estimate the work and move customers, devices and repair history. Tell us what you use now.

Pricing and payment

What does the software cost?

A subscription per workshop: monthly, or cheaper per year. Current amounts are on the pricing page. Custom work is charged separately, by the hour.

How can I pay?

By card online or by invoice. Ukrainian customers pay in hryvnia; customers from the European Union and CIS countries pay in euro. Paying by card is a subscription: the following periods are charged to the card automatically, we email a warning one day before each charge, and you can cancel at any time with a button in the software. If you pay by invoice, we email a reminder before the paid period ends.

What happens if I pay late?

There is no grace period: the software closes the day after the paid period ends. Your data stays put — pay and it opens the same day. Reminders come three days before and on the last day; a week before as well if you switch it on in your account. With a subscription, a warning one day before the charge comes instead.

Day-to-day use

Can a new front-desk person handle it?

Intake is one form and a print button. More complex sections can be hidden with permissions so a new employee sees only what they need. There is documentation, and we answer questions by email.

Technical questions

Who owns the data and where is it kept?

The data is yours. Every customer has a separate database; we keep it on our server, back it up daily and never use it for our own purposes. Details are in the privacy policy.

What if I have several workshops?

Branches share one database: each sees its own jobs and stock, while the owner sees everything together and can compare them. See branches and access.

Customers are used to signing the receipt. Will that stay?

Yes. The receipt prints on a plain A4 sheet, the customer signs it with a pen just like a paper one and takes their copy. There is no on-screen signature in the software — and most workshops don’t need one.

What if the internet goes down?

The software runs in a browser and will not open without internet. Mobile data from a phone often saves the day. As a last resort, keep a few blank forms at the counter (a ready-made form is on the intake receipt page): book the device in on paper, and when the connection is back, enter the repair in the software and print the customer a numbered receipt.

Can old entries from the paper log be moved over?

Not automatically — the software can’t read a handwritten log. Repairs still in progress are entered by hand, usually an evening’s work. Closed ones stay in the log as an archive; keep it for warranty returns.

Do I need a printer?

For the receipt and the work certificate, yes — any printer that prints A4. You can also show the document to the customer without printing: it opens on a phone and reads fine on screen.
