🚀 The latest Garage Invoice beta update is now live!
This update brings a lot of exciting new features, improvements and rebuilt sections into Garage Invoice. We have focused on making document creation faster, item management easier, reports more useful, and the Online Shop and POS more powerful.
🧾 New Item Table on Documents
We have improved one of the most important parts of Garage Invoice, the item table used on invoices, estimates, job cards and other documents.
The new item table is designed to make creating documents faster, clearer and more flexible.
✅ Discounts on every item line
You can now apply a discount directly to individual item lines, either as a fixed amount or as a percentage.
📦 Bundle Items
Create bundles of items and add them with one click. For example, you can create an Oil Service bundle with oil, oil filter, labour, checks and any other standard items you normally use.
📊 Purchase Price, Margin and Markup
Add purchase prices to item lines and see real-life profit, margin and markup directly on the document, helping you understand how profitable the job is before completing it.
📝 Header and Text Rows
Add headers and extra text rows to separate sections, highlight important information, or add extra notes under item lines.
💷 Price Includes Tax
You can now set “Price Includes Tax” directly on individual item lines when needed.
🛠️ Improved Items Management
Managing items is now easier and clearer.
Items can now be organised into Labour, Parts, Tyres, Consumables and Subcontract.
You can also check each item’s profitability, including margin %, markup % and profit, as well as manage stock control directly from the item edit screen.
We have also added extra options for the Online Shop and POS, so you can control which sales channels an item appears in, manage pricing and set shipping fees where needed.
📌 Custom Notes
Very often, you may need to quickly add the same type of text to a client note field on an invoice, aftercare notes on a job card, or other rich text fields across the system.
Now you can save Custom Notes and reuse them whenever you need them.
Perfect for aftercare advice, warranty notes, payment terms, service recommendations, collection instructions and any other text you regularly use.
🧾 Rebuilt Expenses
We have completely rebuilt how expenses work.
Expenses now use the new item table, which means you can add multiple expense lines with different tax rates in one go.
This also improves Purchase Order to Expense conversions, making the process more flexible and accurate.
🛒 Rebuilt Online Shop and POS
We have completely rebuilt the Online Shop and POS system.
The Online Shop now has a cleaner layout, improved navigation, a better checkout process and new shipping fee options, making it a much more complete online store for selling car parts, tyres and other products.
For tyre sales, we have also added extra filters to help customers find the correct tyre by size, brand and other details.
The POS system has also been improved with better controls, improved cart management for serving multiple customers, product detail views, and card payment options through Stripe and Mollie.
📈 New Reports
We have added three powerful new reports to help you better understand your business.
📊 Profit & Loss Report
Get a clear overview of your sales, costs, expenses, gross profit, net profit, margins and average profit per invoice for a selected period.
💰 Profit & Margin Report
Review sales, costs, gross profit, average margin, markup, low-margin sales, items below target and items sold at a loss.
You can also set a target margin percentage and quickly spot where margins may need attention.
🧾 VAT Summary Report
Designed to help you prepare your VAT return by showing VAT on sales, VAT reclaimable on expenses and purchases, adjustments, and the estimated VAT due to HMRC for the selected period.
