THE CHALLENGE

A job is not finished when someone writes down what needs to be done

Every service job can involve a quote, parts, materials, people, execution, and collection. When each is managed separately, it becomes difficult to know what was used, what work was completed, and how it affected inventory and the business.

THE KRAE.OS SOLUTION

Keep the work, materials, and business management connected

Krae.OS brings quotes and work orders into the same system, connecting service execution with materials used, inventory, and the related administrative operations.

QUOTES

Quote the work before it begins

Krae.OS lets you prepare quotes showing the customer the products, services, and terms before work starts.

The quote remains in the sales system so you can revisit it, follow up, and continue the transaction when the customer decides.

Sales journey

  1. CUSTOMER
  2. INQUIRY
  3. QUOTE
  4. FOLLOW-UP

For services, many sales start with a quote.

Keep unconfirmed jobs visible

Krae.OS lets you manage and follow up on quotes so pending opportunities remain visible.

When the customer confirms, the information can continue through the appropriate operational workflow.

From proposal to decision

  1. QUOTE
  2. FOLLOW-UP
  3. CUSTOMER CONFIRMS
  4. OPERATIONS

PROCEDURES

Define repeatable jobs to use when needed

Krae.OS lets you define procedures for repeatable work or services and use them as a basis for work orders.

Your shop defines its own procedures to match how it works.

  • 01

    OIL CHANGE

    Example defined by the shop

  • 02

    FILTER CHANGE

    Example defined by the shop

  • 03

    MAINTENANCE

    Example defined by the shop

  • 04

    ACCESSORY INSTALLATION

    Example defined by the shop

WORK ORDERS

Manage each job through execution

Krae.OS can generate work orders from procedures your business defines and manage how those services are carried out.

The order brings together the job, its stages, materials, and people so execution stays connected.

Know who participates at each stage

Krae.OS lets you associate internal or external people with stages of a work order, keeping participation in the job clear.

    STAGE 1

    Internal or external person

INVENTORY + WORK ORDER

Materials used on a job update inventory too

When a work order is executed, Krae.OS automatically deducts the supplies and materials used on that order from inventory.

Inventory therefore reflects not only what you buy and sell, but also what is consumed while delivering a service.

Explore Stock and costs

Execution moves inventory

  1. WORK ORDER
  2. SUPPLIES / MATERIALS
  3. EXECUTION
  4. − STOCK

Shop consumption is part of real inventory movement.

Purchases, sales, and completed jobs all change inventory

Krae.OS connects inventory to the operations that actually create its movements.

01

PURCHASE

+ STOCK

02

SALE

− STOCK

03

WORK ORDER EXECUTION

− SUPPLIES / MATERIALS

Executing work updates the same inventory.

Replenish parts and supplies in the same system

When a purchase is recorded, Krae.OS adds the corresponding quantities to inventory and links the transaction to its supplier.

When the purchase price changes, weighted average cost is updated.

Keep the cost of parts and supplies up to date

When new goods arrive at a different cost, Krae.OS automatically recalculates weighted average cost using existing quantities and the new purchase.

Sell products as well as services

If your business also sells parts, lubricants, accessories, or other products, Krae.OS handles those sales in the same system.

Services and products can be managed together.

BARCODES

Find parts and supplies quickly

Krae.OS lets you use barcode scanners to find and select products in compatible system workflows.

You can also scan a barcode when creating or editing a product record.

Each inventory movement retains its source operation

Inventory movements remain linked to their operations, helping distinguish purchases, sales, adjustments, transfers, and materials consumed during business operations.

  1. OPERATION
  2. MOVEMENT
  3. HISTORY

COLLECTIONS

Completed work continues through payment

Krae.OS manages collections for sales and services, keeping outstanding amounts visible when a transaction is not paid in full immediately.

You can collect payment immediately or on credit and record later payments when appropriate.

Manage financed jobs too

When a transaction requires extended payment terms, Krae.OS supports plans with down payments, installments, and additional payments.

Collections continue into financial management

Collections recorded in Krae.OS can affect the corresponding cash register and bank records, keeping sales activity connected to the company's financial position.

ELECTRONIC INVOICING

Invoice as usual. Krae.OS handles SIFEN.

Users carry out their regular operation in Krae.OS, which generates the corresponding electronic documents for SIFEN as part of the same workflow.

Electronic invoicing is part of the normal management of the service or product sale.

ONLINE CATALOG AND ORDERS

If you sell products too, take your catalog online
