Features

iFixSE is built to run and manage a small engine shop from one system — no notebooks, no spreadsheets, no scattered tools.
Track every machine, every job, every part, every dollar, and every customer in one place.

The goal is simple:

• Faster intake

• Cleaner workflows

• Accurate parts + inventory

• Clear job visibility

• Reliable invoicing and profit tracking
   

Everything connects so the shop runs tighter, not harder.

What This Version Focuses On
This version is built for real shop use immediately:

• Work orders drive everything

• Machines hold full service history

• Inventory ties directly to jobs

• Invoices reflect actual work + parts

• Scheduling keeps jobs moving
   

No filler features — only what shops actually use daily.
How We Build & Expand
We are not overbuilding upfront.

iFixSE grows in layers:

• Machine Intelligence Panel (rules-based overview, service builder, flip planner)

• Machine Library (manuals, diagrams, resources)

Phase 2

• Deeper reporting (profit by job, tech, machine)

• Better scheduling controls

• Supplier + purchasing improvements

• Expanded resource database

Phase 3

• Advanced automation

• Smarter diagnostics assistance

• Pricing optimization tools

• Customer-facing features (portals, approvals)
