Built for the owner’s next decision

From staffing questions to margin gaps, see what to look at next.

ShopIQ connects the planning and operating questions that shape an independent repair shop: who to schedule, how the numbers are moving, and which costs deserve attention.

01 · Staffing

Start with a staffing baseline that fits your shop.

Estimate headcount for technicians, porters, and service advisors using your bay count and expected monthly volume. Treat it as a starting point for planning the roster, then apply what you know about your operation.

  • Technicians, porters, and service advisors
  • Bay count and expected monthly workload
  • Sales and profit goals and available capacity
  • Posted labor rate

02 · Shop performance

Read the day. Review the month.

Track shop-day sales, labor, gross profit, and progress toward goals. Then review the selected month’s profit-and-loss view alongside the year-to-date rollup to see what is moving and what deserves a closer look.

ShopIQ’s Today versus target view showing sales, gross profit, sold labor hours, and each metric against its target.

03 · Costs and margins

Find the costs behind a margin gap.

Estimate how comeback work uses labor capacity, with conditional ranges for possible forgone sales and gross profit. Model loaded employee cost by role, then use the profit-and-loss and Profit Advisor reports to see where margins fall short and examine improvement opportunities.

  • Comeback labor capacity and conditional possible forgone sales and gross-profit ranges
  • Loaded daily employee cost by role
  • Profit-and-loss categories and Profit Advisor comparisons

04 · Next location

Plan the next location with clear terms.

ShopIQ plans are priced per location. If you are considering another shop, email ShopIQ to discuss what a per-location setup could look like for your business.

  • A subscription plan for each shop location
  • A direct conversation about the next shop you are planning

Works alongside your shop system.
