Handheld VIN scanner with dead-simple shop management for independent mechanics.
A pocket-sized device that scans VINs, starts jobs with one button, and syncs to a simple dashboard - built for mechanics who hate computers.
“Mechanics don't touch the computer much. VINs are typed manually. Job status is often unclear. Customers call to ask for updates. I'm thinking about building a small rugged handheld device that mechanics can carry in the shop. Scan VIN with a camera, start a job with one button, mark it done with another.”
