Where SpotsPOS shines
Simple from day one
A lot of shop software is overcomplicated and takes weeks of training before your team is comfortable. SpotsPOS is built to be simple. A setup checklist on the Home screen walks you through getting started, the guided flows need no training, and a new hire can check in a repair on their first day.
Built for iPhone and iPad
SpotsPOS Repair was built as a native iPhone and iPad app from day one, with a web portal for the office. Your whole shop fits in your hand: scan an IMEI or serial with the camera, have the customer sign on the screen, start your everyday jobs from Quick Repairs, and use Siri Shortcuts. On iPad, Repair Board shows every open repair as a card you drag from status to status. If the internet drops, your repairs, customers, sales and inventory stay on screen, so the counter keeps moving (offline mode).
Spots Intelligence in every screen
Describe a repair in one sentence, out loud or typed, in English or Spanish, and SpotsPOS fills in the device, the problem and the priority. Pick a model and a repair and it suggests the parts that job usually needs. At checkout it recommends in-stock products that sell well with what is in the cart. And you can ask your shop a question, like "How's today going?", and get the answer. Read more about Spots Intelligence.
Automations that work while you fix
Webhooks send each new repair, each new sale and your end of day summary to Zapier, Make or your own server the moment they happen. New customers can go straight to your Mailchimp or Constant Contact list, new appointments land on Google Calendar, and with Twilio connected, one tap on Notify Customer texts them that the device is ready. See all integrations.
Used devices are part of the business
Buybacks and device management are built into the repair app, so a trade in becomes stock you can sell, tracked by IMEI with its grade, cost and warranty.
Spanish all the way through
For shops in Puerto Rico, Latin America and bilingual neighborhoods in the US, your technicians and front desk can work in English or Spanish.
Spots Intelligence and integrations are included from the Essential plan, webhooks and Employee Manager with Pro. See pricing.
