Baymate helps solo mechanics, new workshop owners and growing teams organise every job, earn customer trust and keep control of the money—without paying for every user.
Built by South Africans for independent automotive businesses across Africa.
The licence disk fills the vehicle record in seconds—confirmed by a person, never guessed.
You already know how to fix cars. Now the customer, quote, parts order, team, cash and next booking all depend on you too.
Scattered messages, handwritten approvals and late updates make customers uncertain—even when the repair is right.
Unpriced time, parts surprises and jobs waiting without a next action quietly consume the margin.
More people and cars create more hand-offs. Shared logins and memory make it harder to know who did what.
Give customers clear evidence and written approvals. Give your team a simple next action. Give yourself one place to see the work and the money.
Start with the decisions holding up work, then open the source before anything changes.

Baymate keeps the work connected, so you capture information once and carry it through the complete customer and vehicle journey.
Book, check in, inspect, estimate, approve, dispatch and invoice from one live record.
See workshop operationsSend useful updates, evidence and line-by-line approvals, then bring customers back at the right time.
See customer toolsKeep parts cost, invoice, payment, cash-up and reporting tied to the work that created them.
See point of sale and financeSee how Baymate turns the workshop process into a clear flow for the customer, technician and owner.
Scan the licence-disk barcode and confirm the vehicle details on a mobile device. A returning VIN opens the service history before the bonnet does.
The technician completes a red, amber and green inspection on a mobile device. Photos, measurements and notes move into estimate lines without recapture.
The estimate arrives via email or WhatsApp as a signed mobile link. The customer approves all or some of the work, and every decision stays timestamped against the exact lines.
Review the evidence and choose the work to approve.
Compare the same basket across vendors by landed cost, stock, delivery and warranty. Issue a purchase order and keep partial receipts or back-orders visible on the job.
Assigned work, inspection evidence, procedures, issued parts, time and the next step stay in one focused workspace. That means clearer hand-offs, less walking back to the office and steady progress even when the internet is down.
Complete checkout through the workshop point of sale, issue the immutable tax invoice and close the shop day by payment method. Any variance requires a reason.
You do not have to become a software expert before you can organise the workshop.
Use the guided wizard or ask for an assisted session. We help configure the workshop and move the records you need.
Learn each part in plain language. Return to the knowledge base or restart the platform tour whenever the team needs it.
