Work with outside businesses.

Inviting a business

• Invite a business you already have as a supplier. Garage OS shows you an invitation code once, and you pass it on yourself.
• They sign in with their email address and a password. The first time, they enter the code, their legal name, VAT number and country.
• You can revoke an invitation, or their access, at any time.

Sending a job

• Send a task from the workshop: mechanical, valet, bodywork, tyres, NCT preparation or photography, with where the car is, instructions and a due date.
• They see the job and the car’s year, make, model and registration. They never see your stock, your costs or your customers.
• One business can work for several garages, with its jobs grouped by garage.

In the vendor portal

• They accept or decline each job, giving a reason if they want to.
• They start it, add photos or PDFs, and propose a cost with their own reference, such as an invoice number.
• They hand the work in once a cost is proposed.

When the work comes back

• Approve it, send it back, or cancel the job.
• Approving records the cost against the car as outside work, and their files join the car’s own, for your team.
• No money moves through Garage OS: paying the business stays between you and them.
