QUOTES

The quote comes before the job, not the surprise after it

Put labour and parts together, send it to the customer and see whether they opened it and what they answered. When they accept it becomes a work order in one click, with nothing to retype. If they change their mind you create a revision and the history stays.

  • Sent to the customer, with reply status
  • Becomes a work order in one click
  • Revisions without losing the history
  • Validity and total always in plain sight

WORKSHOP

Job sheets with AI service forecast and teamwork

AI service forecast with recommended work, an intake check-in with photos and signature, bike health synced from the app. Several mechanics work together in real time: you see who's viewing the job and message a colleague without leaving the sheet.

  • AI service forecast with recommended parts
  • Intake check-in with photos and signature
  • Live presence and chat between colleagues
  • Work timer on every line item

APPROVALS

The extra part gets approved by the customer, from their phone

You strip it down, you find the worn part, you send the request with the reason and a photo: the customer answers from WhatsApp, email or the app. Below the threshold you set, it approves itself. No chasing people by phone and no argument over the final bill.

  • Request on the channel the customer already uses
  • Auto-approval below your threshold
  • The reason for the replacement attached
  • Who approved it, and when, stays on record

  • Navigate to the next stop

BIKE HISTORY

The story of every bike, part by part

Log the components once and from there the software estimates wear from the kilometres ridden: chain, cassette, pads, each with its own health. You see what is about to go before it breaks, and turn it into a single quote covering every part.

  • Estimated wear for each component
  • Kilometres and installation date
  • Alert on parts near end of life
  • One quote for all the parts

INVENTORY

Stock, thresholds and reordering under control

Every part with its stock level, price and minimum threshold: when it drops below, you see it straight away and order from the right supplier. Stock is drawn down automatically when you close a job or sell over the counter, and you print labels from here.

  • Automatic alert below the minimum threshold
  • Supplier orders and goods receiving
  • Automatic stock drawdown from jobs and till
  • Labels and barcodes from the software

ON YOUR PHONE

The same software, in your hand at the stand

It is not a cut-down version: it is the full software, fitted to a phone screen. Open the job with the bike in front of you, tick off the work, start the timer and close with a receipt or an invoice without walking back to the counter.

  • The same job sheet, fitted to the phone
  • Timers and tick-offs with the bike in front of you
  • Parts scanned with the camera
  • Opens in the browser, installs like an app
The CrankPal app on the customer's phone: the workshop card with its logo, a quote with its lines and the buttons to accept or ask for changes, and the lock screen with the job status, the ready-by date and the button to message the workshop.
THE CYCLISTS' APP

Your customers who install CrankPal find you, with your brand.

On your customer's phone your workshop is there, name and logo: quotes arrive and are approved with one tap, the job is followed step by step, and their documents stay readable even with no signal. The app is normally paid for: it is free for them when they install it through your workshop, and it costs you nothing.

  • Quotes approved or declined from the phone
  • Job status, from check-in to bike ready
  • Service forecasts on components, from their rides
  • Documents always at hand, even with no signal

The invitation will go out with the software, inside the emails your customers already receive: no link to copy, no campaign to run.

THE CUSTOMER'S WIDGET

Your forecasts, on your customers' Home Screen

The cyclist adds the CrankPal widget and sees their bike's status every day: five lamps, one per component group, the odometer and, when a lamp lights up, a prompt to book a check-up. The forecasts are your workshop's, and the booking goes from the app to you.

  • Green, amber or red lamps: customers know when to come back without reading numbers
  • Total odometer and distance since the last workshop service
  • Nothing to set up on your side: the customer just installs the app
CrankPages, the public directory of bike workshops: the search by town and the map showing how many workshops are in each area
THE PUBLIC DIRECTORY

And then there's CrankPages

CrankPages is a public directory of the world's bike workshops, and yours is most likely already in it: the listings are built from public sources, one country at a time, and before a country goes live a person reads through its rows.

  • You claim your listing for free, even without a CrankPal account
  • With the CRM it keeps itself up to date: address, opening hours, phone
  • CrankPal workshops are the ones with the badge

This is not a paid listing: nobody pays to be there and nobody pays to rank higher. If you'd rather not appear, just ask — and it holds for future imports too.
