Description
Strata is the operating system for modern automotive service businesses. It runs the whole shop day, and it works your books for you.
Built for shops and mobile operators who need speed, clarity, and control, Strata carries the full customer and job lifecycle in one place, from first inquiry to final payment. Book the work, document the vehicle, schedule the crew, count your materials, invoice it, and get paid, without bouncing between disconnected tools.
Whether you run a tint shop, detail business, wrap studio, mechanic shop, tire shop, glass shop, or a fully mobile operation working out of a van, Strata helps you move faster, stay organized, and bring money back. Storefront or mobile, one system runs the whole business.
What you can do with Strata:
Autopilot
Strata learns each customer's real visit rhythm and lines up the money moves you would miss
Ready to send texts for regulars who are overdue, quotes going cold, and work that is unpaid or never billed
Spot high value customers quietly drifting away before they are gone
Fill empty days at the right moment. Autopilot even watches the weather
Nothing sends until you approve it, and every result is tracked so you see what it earned in real dollars
Document the vehicle
Tap New Intake and the camera opens, with photos attached to a record of their own
Your customer signs a copy of the condition you both agreed on
Reusable templates for intake, condition, and delivery checklists
Coating and film warranties with expiry dates that tell you who is due back
Schedule the crew, not just the day
Assign people to individual services, so two can be on the coating while one is on the interior
Every technician gets a view of only their own work
Working hours, approved time off, and existing jobs stop a double booking before it happens
Staff hours, pay type, and earnings each have their own screen
Count your materials
Products carry a unit, a cost, a stock level, and a reorder point
What a job actually used comes off the shelf, so margin reflects the work instead of an estimate
Receiving, vendors, and purchase orders
Low stock surfaces while there is still time to order
What's new (v4.2)
Meet the Strata assistant. Ask about your business the way you would ask your service advisor, in plain words, and get an answer drawn from your own records. It can pull up a customer's history, tell you what is owed and where the week stands, and prepare a change for you to approve before anything is saved.
Money now reads in the currency your shop bills in, from your invoice list through to your reports. Moving a job to a new time carries the whole job with it, so the schedule board and the calendar always agree. Customer conversations stay live while you have them open, and a lead that goes quiet comes back to you once, at the point it is still worth a call.
Quotes and invoices are quicker to build, your closed dates are confirmed as you set them, and the whole app has had a pass for speed and steadiness on a busy day.
