Car audio software: system builders & install booking

Car audio: build the system for their car, book the install. Compatibility checked, price live.

Customers ring to ask what fits their car. Every quote gets rebuilt from scratch when they swap a sub. Installs are booked by phone into a paper diary and the fascia kit gets ordered the morning the car rolls in. We build system builders, quoting, booking and job card systems for car audio shops that all talk to each other, then we host them and look after them.

Looking for a car audio system builder that quotes the install and books the bay?

A car audio shop is a retailer, a workshop and a fabrication bench under one roof. Every job starts with the same question: what fits my car? Then it's head unit, fascia, harness, steering wheel control interface, antenna adapter, speakers, amp, wiring kit and labour. Change one thing and the whole quote changes. Most shops do it on a calculator, a supplier price list and memory.

Wollopit builds custom car audio software around how your shop actually runs. Customers search by make, model and year to see head units, speakers and subs that fit, with every install part and labour priced in. They book a bay online. Parts get ordered when the job is booked, not the morning of. The installer has a job card with the wiring notes. We connect the tools you already use and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to tuning.

01The problems

What we hear from car audio installers

Does your car audio business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most car audio shops we talk to have brilliant installers and run the front counter on phone calls, supplier PDFs and a diary full of crossed-out names. It works until Saturday morning.

  • The problem'Will it fit my car?' all dayThe phone rings with the same fitment questions and the counter guy looks up dash sizes and speaker depths for every caller.
    How we fix itSearch by make, model, year and trim. Only gear that fits shows up, with the right fascia, harness and adapters attached.
  • The problemQuotes rebuilt every timeThey want the bigger sub, then a better amp, then CarPlay instead. Each change means a new quote typed out by hand.
    How we fix itA live quote that reprices as they swap gear, with install parts and labour already counted.
  • The problemInstall parts forgottenThe head unit is quoted but the SWC interface, antenna adapter or dash kit gets missed. Someone eats the cost or the job stalls.
    How we fix itEvery product carries its own fitment parts for that vehicle so nothing gets left off the quote or the order.
  • The problemInstall times are guessworkA Corolla head unit takes an hour. A Prado with a factory amp takes most of the day. The diary doesn't know the difference.
    How we fix itInstall times by vehicle and job type, so the right amount of bay time is blocked out automatically.
  • The problemBookings by phone and DMInstalls booked over the phone, on Messenger and at the counter, then double-booked when two people write in the same diary.
    How we fix itOnline install booking with real bay availability, deposits and SMS reminders the day before.
  • The problemParts not here on the dayThe car rolls in, the harness is on back order and the customer goes home with a hole in their dash.
    How we fix itBooking a job checks stock and raises supplier orders, with a warning if parts won't land in time.
  • The problemCustomers chasing updatesCustom builds take a week or three and the customer rings every second day asking how the box is going.
    How we fix itJob progress with photos sent by SMS, so they see the enclosure, the wiring and the finished install without calling.
  • The problemUpsells nobody offersSound deadening, a reversing camera or a dash cam would have taken twenty minutes extra and nobody mentioned it.
    How we fix itSmart add-ons suggested at the right moment in the builder and the quote, priced for that car.
  • The problemStock nobody can seeCustomers don't know what's on the shelf and staff walk out the back to check if the 12-inch is in.
    How we fix itLive stock on the website and the counter screen, synced with your POS.
  • The problemWarranty claims in a shoeboxA head unit dies after eight months and nobody can find the serial number or the install date.
    How we fix itEvery install logged with serials, photos and dates so warranty claims take minutes.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole shop, on one system.

These are the systems car audio shops ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

System builder

Pick the car. Only what fits shows up.

Customers enter their make, model and year and see head units, speakers, amps and subs that actually fit. The fascia, harness, SWC interface and adapters are added for them so the system is complete before it's even quoted.

  • Search by make, model, year and trim
  • Single DIN, double DIN and floating screens
  • Speaker sizes and mounting depths per door
  • Factory amp and premium audio warnings
  • Fitment parts added automatically
  • Good, better and best packages
  • Sub and enclosure options by boot space
  • Save and share a build by link
  • Builds sent straight to the counter as a lead
  • Works on your website and in store

Quoting

Swap the sub. The quote keeps up.

Gear, install parts and labour priced together live. Customers can play with options themselves or your counter staff can build a quote in a couple of minutes, send it by SMS and turn it into a booking with one tap.

  • Gear, parts and labour on one quote
  • Labour by vehicle and job type
  • Reprices instantly on every change
  • Package and bundle pricing

Bookings & bays

A diary that knows a Prado isn't a Corolla.

Customers book online into a slot that fits the job, not just the next free hour. Your bays and installers sit on one board with job lengths worked out by vehicle, deposits taken and reminders sent so the car turns up on time.

  • Online booking with real bay availability
  • Job length by vehicle and system

Job cards & parts

The right parts on the shelf before the car rolls in.

Booking a job checks stock and raises supplier orders for anything missing, with a warning if it won't arrive in time. Installers get a job card on their tablet with wiring notes, vehicle quirks and photos, then sign it off with serials logged for warranty.

  • Stock checked when a job is booked
  • Supplier orders raised automatically
  • Back order warnings before the day
  • Job cards on a phone or tablet
  • Wiring notes and vehicle quirks
  • Before and after photos

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your car audio business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time at the counter, in the bays and on the fab bench, then work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your vehicles, fitment parts, labour times, bays, suppliers, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the fitment search or booking first, so you get a win before the next busy Saturday.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things car audio installers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can customers search by their car and only see gear that fits?

Yes. That's the heart of it. They pick make, model, year and trim and the builder only shows head units, speakers and subs that fit, with the right fitment parts added for them.

Can it include reversing cameras, dash cams and sound deadening?

Yes. Any product you install can be added with its own fitment rules, install time and pricing. It can suggest them as add-ons at the right moment too.

Can install times be different for each vehicle?

Yes. You set labour times by vehicle and job type, so a Prado with a factory amp gets more bay time than a basic hatchback. Online booking only offers slots that fit the job.

Do we have to switch our POS or online shop?

No. If Square, Lightspeed, Shopify or WooCommerce is doing its job we build around it and keep stock and prices in sync. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.

Can car yards and fleets book with us?

Yes. Trade customers can have their own login and pricing to book CarPlay retrofits, dash cams and fleet installs in bulk.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like online booking or a fitment search can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most car audio installers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
