WORKSHOP ECONOMICS
Potential vs reality — and the opportunity.
Know what your workshop could earn and what it actually earned, so you can close the gap.
The numbers don't lie. They hide.
GreaseDesk runs your job cards, bookings and invoicing — then shows you what the diary never does: the hours you sold against the hours you paid for, and what each month actually made after costs.

Earn it. See it. Keep it.
Earn it
Job cards, bookings, quotes and invoicing in one place. Price the work, track it, bill it, get paid — with photos and a full audit trail on every job.
See it
A live profit-and-loss view built on true parts cost. The hours you sold against the hours you paid for. The numbers a diary can't show you.
Keep it
Know which jobs, which customers and which months made money, and which quietly didn't. Then price the next ones properly.
A full diary is not a result.
Every garage system will show you a busy week. Almost none will tell you whether it paid.
Turnover isn't profit.
Parts at true cost, against every job.
Booked isn't sold.
The hours you paid for, against the hours you charged for.
Invoiced isn't banked.
What's issued, what's paid, what's still owed.
