Customer, vehicle and job details follow the work instead of being typed again into the diary, the quote, the job sheet and the invoice.
ForgeDash keeps appointments, diagnostics, quotes, approved extra work, jobs, invoices, payments and records connected — so you spend less time retyping paperwork after the workshop closes.
Up to 10 jobs a month. No card required.

The information follows the job. The customer and the car you booked in are already on the quote; the accepted quote is already the job sheet; the finished job is already the invoice. Nothing gets written up again at the end of the day.
01
Customer and vehicle go in once — the reg pulls the car from the DVLA.
02
Findings and photos sit on the vehicle record.
03
Diagnosis lines become quote lines. No retyping.
04
The customer accepts from a link — extra work too.
05
The accepted quote becomes the job sheet.
06
Generate the invoice from the finished job.
07
Record cash, card or part payments against it.
Customer, vehicle and job details follow the work instead of being typed again into the diary, the quote, the job sheet and the invoice.
When extra work turns up, show the customer what you found, tell them the price and get a recorded accept or decline before you carry on.
Invoices, payments and records stay connected, so today’s workshop work doesn’t become tonight’s paperwork.
Take a photo, add the extra work and the price, and send it to the customer.
They approve or decline from a secure link — no account, no app.
ForgeDash records the decision against the job, and only approved work reaches the final invoice.
Because the jobs, invoices and payments are already in ForgeDash, the figures behind them are too. Try the free Safe-to-Spend calculator.
Type the reg. ForgeDash pulls make, model, engine, fuel and MOT status from the DVLA in under a second.
Photograph existing damage before you touch the car. When a customer says "that scratch wasn't there before" — you've got the timestamp.
Snap a supplier receipt and ForgeDash reads the details into your expenses. No shoebox at year end.
Income tax, Class 4 National Insurance and VAT are set aside as payments come in, so you can see what is actually yours to spend.
See where the profit comes from — parts markup against time on the tools, month by month.
Know whose MOT is coming up and remind them, from the vehicles already on your books.
When it's time to file, download one ZIP with every invoice and expense categorised.
