A considered fit

Know what belongs here.
And what stays connected.

Keep vehicle operations with specialist systems.

Use Workspace for your public presence, customer conversations, appointments and marketing. Keep inventory, repair orders, estimates, parts and dispatch in the system that manages your shop; review any proposed connection by its specific fields and events.

Treat calendars as conversations, not capacity control.

A configured calendar can help arrange a customer meeting. Your team confirms vehicle availability, technician and bay capacity, collision intake, wrap materials and wash operations in the systems that manage them.

Build the workspace around your priorities.

The suggested four categories are website, customer hub, booking and campaigns. Reputation, reporting and courses or communities are additional choices or part of the full suite. App access, permissions and costs depend on your configuration.

Before you start

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Can Archon.tools replace our DMS or repair-shop software?

Workspace supports customer and marketing work around your shop. For vehicle inventory, deal records, diagnostics, estimates, repair orders, parts, technician dispatch and service history, keep the qualified operating system your team relies on and assess specific connector scope before use.

Can we book test drives or repair appointments?

You can configure a calendar for customer conversations and consultations. Your team confirms the vehicle, staff, shop or bay availability and intake requirements.

Does a contact form create an estimate or repair order?

It captures an initial inquiry for your team to review. Inspection, estimate approval, claim documentation and repair-order creation follow your established shop process.

Can I keep my current shop, inventory or wash tools?

Yes. The starting selection focuses on your website, customer follow-up, consultations and marketing. Keep specialist systems in place and review each supported connection before relying on it for shared data.
