Where SpotsPOS shines
Built for iPhone and iPad, not a browser tab
SpotsPOS Repair was built as a native iPhone and iPad app, with a web portal for the office. Your whole shop fits in your hand: scan an IMEI or serial with the camera, add up to 10 photos at check-in, have the customer sign on the screen and start your everyday jobs from Quick Repairs. 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 (offline mode). See the iPad POS page for the counter setup.
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.
Inventory you do not pay extra for
Every Repair plan includes inventory and parts ordering. From Essential you add purchase orders, low stock reports and advanced inventory, and from Pro you move stock between your shops with inventory transfers.
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.
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. New customers can go straight to Mailchimp or Constant Contact, and with Twilio connected, one tap on Notify Customer texts them that the device is ready. See all integrations.
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.

RepairQ alternative questions
