Software for Repair Centers

At Your Service – Repair Center is comprehensive software for managing and tracking the repair and service of items that have either been sent in or dropped off for repair or servicing. The various editions are designed to work well either for a large repair center, warranty center, or repair depot with dozens of technician benches, or for a small mom-and-pop repair shop with just one or two technicians.

Repair Enterprise Edition

Enterprise-level software for Microsoft SQL or MySQL databases to manage repair centers with many users, large amounts of data, and/or multiple locations.

Repair Standard Edition

Full-featured software for Microsoft Access databases to manage repair centers with up to 10-15 users at one or more locations.

Repair Lite Edition

Software for Microsoft Access databases to manage smaller repair shops with a few users that do not need advanced program features.

Retail stores that only collect items for repair and then pass them on to a warranty center or third-party repair vendor may want to use one of the retail editions.
