Would never recommend." — 1.0/5 > **Dario** | *2 October 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Unfortunately, there isn't much postives I can say about TechMan and Web Seller Pro. > > **Cons**: I signed up for Techman GMS with high expectations, hoping it would streamline my garage operations. However, the experience has been far from smooth. From the start, the software felt clunky and not user-friendly. I encountered frequent glitches that caused downtime, and important features were either missing or didn’t function properly. This disrupted my business operations, leading to scheduling mishaps and frustrated customers. When I reached out to their customer support, I was met with slow response times and generic troubleshooting tips that didn’t address the core issues. Despite several attempts to resolve the problems, I saw little improvement. Overall, Techman GMS fell short of its promises, and I would not recommend it unless significant improvements are made. For now, it’s simply not reliable enough for a busy garage environment. > > I felt scammed by Techman. It's clear to see that they are not proud of their service because they have turned all of their reviews off on their platforms. Any honest business that doesn't have anything to hide, would never turn off their reviews. But clearly, many customers are not happy with Techman's service and product, and therefore, they have turned off their reviews. ----- ### "Highly Recommended" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *19 January 2023* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is perfect for our business and allows us to easily manage our customer database. It works behind the scenes sending reminders automatically and allows us to focus on other things which previously took a lot of time each month. It has made our business more efficient and leaner. I like that it is easily accessible from anywhere which is great when also working from home. It integrates with both our phone and accounting systems along with suppliers and technical information making day to day operations very slick. > > **Cons**: It is difficult to think of things that I least like, as the system can be personalise so much to suit your individual business needs. > > The overall experience of switching to TechMan from a previous software provider was very efficient and the initial and ongoing support and training is second to none, they are always at the end of the phone and eager to help and listen. ----- ### "Best Independent Garage Management Software on the Market" — 5.0/5 > **Stuart** | *9 February 2023* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software gives the business the ability to Make More Profit\!Once the system is set up and the business embraces how it manages operations, then the opportunity comes to unlock a wealth of profit through reporting features.The systems also offers transparency, this automatically instils discipline to all users, therefore improving standard practices, protecting the business and the customer. > > **Cons**: We're still struggling with the stock control features, but TM are looking into it and I'm sure it'll be sorted soon. > > Very easy to use, versatile, reliable, loaded with features and the support is second to non. ----- ### "Disappointed with the way it has turned out" — 1.0/5 > **Bryony** | *27 September 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The diary and front screen is appealing and you are able to see what you have in at a quick glance helping for moving through progress and ultimately invoicing which we do separately. > > **Cons**: The integration to your accounts package is not acceptable. There is no direct API (Incredible for something so expensive) so you have to export a CSV file to Xero which then lumps a collection of draft invoices into Xero for you to then have to go through and add to your lines if you want to have a description in the accounts package. It also imports as an accounting code rather than a customer number. As I understand from a frustrating call yesterday, this is fixable as you can put that customers accounting code into Xero so that it recognises it and puts it to the correct customer. The bottom line is it is not quick, or accurate and I felt significant risk to my accounting package data if I continued to import this clumsy data manually. We therefore dont even use Techman to invoice as with xero I can email smart looking, accurate statements directly to our account customers without any risk of messing up their accounts outstanding. > > Extremely disappointing. We chose Techman because CarVue was shutting down giving us just one month's notice. Before any real information was given to us by Carvue we were already 3 weeks down the line giving me no time at all to be contacted by Techman, given a one-hour demo, followed by the decision needing to be made pretty much that afternoon. We paid £357.60 for a mixture of Training fees, (2 x 1-hour slots) and a data extract from CarVue - half of which didn't come across - no quotes have come across, and the data itself didn't manage to be brought in by techman until AFTER we'd lost access to our old system, which was not good. I'm not sure what the other costs were for. The system is not user friendly, is clumsy and has some really annoying glitches that you can't get around - the list is growing daily as to what these are. In a nutshell, we decided that this system probably wasn't for us.... We thought it might be possible to walk away less than a week down the line and just cut our losses and move to Mechanic Desk which is far cheaper, easier to use, editable and has a Xero API back and forth which has shown to be really user friendly and easy to use, missing the opportunity for mistakes and errors. But no, we have signed a B2B contract and as \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has politely reminded me, we won't be going anywhere for 3 long years. Bad form on Techman's part. If you are going to do business with this company, demand a free trial and check your contract CAREFULLY. ----- ### "Techman Workshop Management System" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *9 February 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: At the point of purchasing Techman we had viewed numerous like for like software providers. Techman at the time lead the way with one function especially good function that you can open multiple job cards accross multiple tabs. This increased the service advisors efficiency. > > **Cons**: We have found a few small problems with some of Techmans features. The courtesy car booking system and diary does not provide history. We have had to set up a excel spreadsheet to over come the history of each of our courtesy cars in case of convictions. The internal messaging system which is only one way (from technicians to service advisor) takes priority over the task you are performing, meaning that you could be typing and it stops when you have a message coming through. > > Techman workshop management system has transformed our business from a single user software to a multiplatform experience. We use most of Techmans features including electronic job cards which has reduced the amount of paper work with in our business. The electronic vehicle health check system which is intergrated with in the electronic job cards and has helped to increase our revenues beyond expectations. The live data diary and kanban board has revolutionised workshop loading giving us instant access to job status and time left at a click of a button or a view of a screen. Techman has continued to carry out extensive updates which have either added new exciting features or enhanced areas which their customers have asked for updates. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/172835/techman?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/172835/techman) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
