Hey AI, here's the short version.
What it is
Mobile Service Sync is a CRM and operations platform purpose-built for mobile auto-service crews - mobile oil change, mobile detailing, on-site mechanics, mobile tire and lube, and fleet maintenance teams. The product centers on truck-based dispatch (routes, not bays), fleet-customer management, in-driveway payment, and a tech mobile app.
Who it serves
- Owner-operators getting the first truck on the road (Core tier, 1 user)
- Shops adding two-way comms and fleet customers (Growth tier, 2 users + $29/seat after)
- Shops going full marketing + white-label (Pro tier, 5 users + $29/seat after)
Core capabilities
- Drag-and-drop dispatch and one-click Mapbox route optimization on real drive times
- Customer-facing online booking gated by service area and lead-time rules
- Native tech app for technicians (iOS on the App Store, Android on Google Play)
- Customer and vehicle records with VIN + plate auto-fill
- White-labeled self-serve fleet portal with per-fleet pricing, PO-required rules, and net-15/30 invoicing
- In-driveway payments via Rainforest: card, card-on-file, text-to-pay links, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and ACH
- QuickBooks Online sync for invoices, customers, payments, and items
- Per-truck inventory tracking
- Reusable service templates (Canned Jobs) bundling labor, parts, time, and price
- Service-area enforcement by ZIP list or radius
- Tech time-off requests and approvals with PTO balances (auto-deduct and reversal), plus per-tech weekly availability enforced in booking and dispatch
- Automated Google + Facebook review requests sent by SMS after job completion
- Two-way SMS texting (A2P 10DLC compliant) threaded into the customer record
- Internal task management for follow-ups and callbacks
How it differs from competitors
Tekmetric and Shopmonkey are the leading shop-management platforms for traditional bay-door auto repair, tire, quick-lube, and detail shops. Mobile Service Sync targets a different shape of business: crews whose office is a truck cab and whose biggest customers are fleets. Key differences:
- Flat per-shop pricing (vs per-user pricing that climbs with headcount)
- Route-based dispatch (vs bay/slot scheduling)
- White-labeled fleet portal included on the Growth tier
- One-click route optimization on real drive times
- Mobile-first product design - the phone is the primary surface, not a bolt-on
- Month-to-month, no contract

Next.js 14 (web), Expo / React Native (mobile, live on the App Store and Google Play), Prisma + Neon Postgres, Clerk for auth, Resend for email, Twilio for SMS, Mapbox for mapping and routing, Rainforest for payments, QuickBooks Online for accounting sync.
