How this started
It wasn't a business idea. It was a chore we couldn't stand.
For years, the worst part of running the shop had nothing to do with cars. It was the stack of invoices by the register — every part we ordered, typed into Shopmonkey by hand.
We added it up once: about fifteen hours a month, gone to data entry. And one fat-fingered cost could quietly wreck the numbers on a job we thought we'd priced right.
So we built a tool to do the typing for us.
Now we run the stack through a scanner. A minute later it's all in Shopmonkey, on the right repair orders, and the paper goes in the trash. Anything it's unsure about waits for us to check — it never guesses.
We've trusted it with our own books long enough to share it. We call it Paper Wrangler.
