Body shop management software, set up for the UK
Humming Atelier is online body shop software made by a paint manufacturer. Set your country to the United Kingdom and the software works the UK way: pounds sterling, UK VAT, UK number plates and documents in English.
Set up for UK body shops
Choose the United Kingdom in your company settings. Prices, estimates and invoices are then in pounds sterling, the standard 20% VAT rate is proposed (you can still change it), and your VAT Registration Number and Company No. are printed on every invoice.
- Invoices and credit notes in pounds sterling (GBP)
- VAT at 20% proposed by default, other rates available
- VAT Registration Number format checked
- Company No. on invoices
- UK number plates recognised
- All customer documents in English
- Invoices numbered without gaps and locked once issued
Everything the workshop needs
From the first estimate to the paid invoice, everything is in one place. You type the customer and the vehicle once, and the software reuses them at every step.
- Estimates with labour, parts, paint and materials
- Job cards the customer can sign on their phone
- Technician planning and courtesy cars
- Repair tracking link for the customer
- Paint and consumables stock, orders to your distributor
- Dashboard: turnover, margin and hours
Paint and consumables, calculated
The software knows the surface of each panel for each vehicle type. It works out the paint, clear coat, primer and consumables used by every repair, so you know the real cost and margin of each car.
Pricing
The trial is free for 60 days, with no credit card. After that, the software stays free if your body shop buys at least €3,000 excl. VAT of Humming products per quarter. Otherwise the subscription is €49 excl. VAT per month, with no commitment.
