My processes are becoming more streamlined everyday. My business has never been so professional and my clients are taking notice. This community has been amazing and is going to help me rise above my competition and provide a much better overall experience for my clients.

Notes on workshop management:

This is a small shop with repair workshop (one tech job shared by two part-timers) so easy enough to manage with hard-copy forms for service jobs. Incoming service jobs have a sheet to fill out with customer name/contacts, equipment details and problems or requested tasks. The sheet is attached to the computer with tape. The tech writes workshop activity on the form, and parts/labour charges. A summary of the service sheet is typed into the POS software for customer invoice (using 'comment' line items with free-form text). Service sheets are also filed and archived for future reference if required.

Does anyone know if any of the computer repair shop CRM packages with POS are suitable for Australian GST requirements?
