Job cards
Digital on the floor.
Machine shop job management from quote to delivery
Engineering workshops: every job from quote to delivery. Job cards, time and status.
Job cards on paper, time tracked loosely and customers ringing for updates. We build job management systems for engineering workshops.
Looking for engineering workshop job management software?
Engineering workshops juggle many jobs with different machines and people. We build systems that track each job and show what it costs.
Wollopit builds trade portals, quoting tools, production systems and integrations for engineering workshops around how your factory or warehouse actually runs. We connect the systems you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so orders flow without anyone retyping them.
01The problems
What we hear from engineering workshops
Does your engineering workshop have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most engineering workshops we talk to are taking orders by email and phone, then keying them into three different systems before anything gets made or shipped.

Websites for engineering workshops
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Engineering workshop system upgrades

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your engineering workshop: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things engineering workshops ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can workers clock onto jobs from the floor?
Yes. A tablet or phone lets workers start and stop jobs easily.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your engineering workshop. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can it connect to our inventory and accounting?
Usually, yes. We connect to common systems like Cin7, Unleashed, Xero and MYOB so orders, stock and invoices flow through on their own.
Can trade customers see their own pricing?
Yes. Each account logs in to its own price list, order history and reorder button, with credit terms and invoices handled automatically.
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 engineering workshops 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.
