Phone repair shop software with a WhatsApp assistant

Your shop is closed. Your number isn't.

An assistant on your own WhatsApp number answers customers at any hour and records what they need. Repair tickets, estimates approved on the phone, warranties, VAT invoices and stock run the rest of the day, in Arabic and English.

No card needed. Or book a call with us

Take a phone in. Right here.

This is the counter your team works at. Pick the device, tap what is wrong, type an IMEI, draw the lock pattern. The ticket writes itself.

A day in your shop

From the first device at the counter to the customer coming back weeks later. These are the real screens, from the live demo.

  1. 9:45morning

    The device arrives

    The repair ticket opens at the counter: the customer, the device and its IMEI, the fault, the screen lock and what came with it. Photos and the customer's signature go on the condition report, and the ticket prints with a collection stub.

    A repair ticket: the customer, the device with its IMEI, the fault, the screen lock, what came with it and the technician who has it.
  2. 10:15morning

    The estimate

    Sent on WhatsApp. The customer opens it on their phone, unticks what they don't want done, and approves. The approved lines land on the job; nobody retypes anything.

    The customer's phone: an estimate with two lines to tick, the total with tax, and Approve and Decline buttons.
  3. 11:00midday

    The parts

    Screens and batteries come off the shelf onto the job at their moving-average cost, and the same stock sells phones, cases and chargers over the counter. Anything below its minimum shows up as low stock, and one click drafts the purchase orders, one per vendor.

    The parts list filtered to low stock: screens, batteries and charging ports below their minimum.
  4. 14:00afternoon

    The bench

    The repair board shows every device, where it is and who has it. Late jobs turn red before the customer calls, and technicians move their own jobs along from their phones.

    The repair board: devices in columns from received to ready, with their IMEIs, technicians and how late each one is.
  5. 17:30evening

    The hand-over

    The customer hears on WhatsApp that the device is ready. The tax invoice, with your registration number and the ZATCA QR code in Saudi Arabia, goes out as a PDF on the same chat. They pay, collect the device against the pickup receipt, and the repair's warranty starts that day.

  6. 23:04after closing

    After closing

    The shop is dark and a customer writes. The assistant answers in their language, records the device and the problem, and leaves it in the inbox for the morning. It promises no price and books nothing.

    The return

    Before the repair's warranty runs out, the assistant writes to the customer from the job's own records, in their language. The reply lands in the same inbox, and the customer comes back.

    Al Noor MobileHi Omar, the warranty on your iPhone 13's screen replacement ends next week. Is everything still working well? Reply here if anything needs a look.10:00 AM

    The screen is perfect. Can you look at the battery this week?10:12 AM

The WhatsApp assistant

Your number answers at 11 pm, in the customer's own dialect

Link the shop's WhatsApp number once. The assistant greets, asks what is wrong with the device, and records the customer, the device and the request: a repair, a phone they want to buy, one they want to trade in. It stands down the moment one of your people types a reply, and promises nothing in your name: prices and bookings stay yours.

  • Records customers, devices and inquiries straight from the chat
  • Hands over the moment a person replies, and takes the thread back when asked
  • Sends the estimate for approval and the invoice PDF on the same thread
  • Arabic, English, and the dialect in between
The customer chat: the WhatsApp assistant answering a customer, the team taking over to book the visit, and the inquiry it recorded

The assistant answers and records the request at any hour. Winning the job is still up to your team.

Offers and follow-ups

The shop writes first

A check-in after every repair, a word before the warranty runs out, a nudge on a request that went quiet, a note when the device is ready or a balance is open. Each message is written by the assistant from the records, in the customer's language — or skipped when there is nothing worth saying. Offers go to the customers you pick, paced so your number stays in good standing.

  • Rules you switch on once; a daily pass plans the messages
  • Campaigns to a filtered list: VIPs, a device brand, a branch
  • Every reply lands in the same inbox your team already uses
Follow-ups: the messages the shop sends after a repair, before a warranty runs out, or when a balance is open

Ask your shop

Ask your shop anything, in Arabic or English

Which technician brought in the most this month? Who owes us money, and since when? Which good customers haven't been back in six months? Type the question the way you'd ask your accountant. The answer comes from your own records, with a table or a chart, and it only reads: it never changes a record.

  • Sales, profit, repairs, phones for sale, customers, money owed, stock, staff and VAT
  • An answer in words, with a chart you can switch to a table
  • Ask from a customer's, a job's or an invoice's page about that one
  • Each answer uses one assistant credit from your plan
Ask your shop: the owner asks what margin each phone sold this month made and gets the answer with a bar chart

Also in the box

Appointments and benches

A calendar per branch with its benches, reminders the day before, and the job opened from the visit when the device arrives.

Customers and companies

Business accounts with many devices and one monthly bill, the people to call, labels to filter by, a statement of account and an aging report.

Reports and commissions

Sales, profit, technicians, parts, branches and referral commissions, counted in the shop's own time zone.

Branches, roles and the audit trail

Every branch from day one, five roles, two-factor sign-in, and a record of every change with who made it.

What your customer sees

Your customer follows the repair and approves the price from their phone, without calling

Every job has its own link, sent on WhatsApp. It opens a page with your shop's name on it, in the customer's language, with nothing to install.

  • Where the device is, step by step, and when it was promised
  • Photos from the shop, and the condition report to sign with a finger
  • The estimate to approve or decline, line by line
  • Your address, and a call or a WhatsApp message in one tap
The customer's phone: the repair's progress from received to collected, with the promised time.

Made for shops in the region

Your data is yours

Export all of it any day. If you stop, the workspace stays readable for at least 90 days, and nothing is deleted before then.

Kept apart and locked

Each shop is its own workspace. Two-factor sign-in, staff phones and computers that wait for your approval before they sign in, and a record of every change with who made it.

Leave your number and someone from the team calls you back for a short walk-through, on WhatsApp or by phone. No obligation.

What owners ask first

All questions
Can WhatsApp ban my number?

It can happen, so SolderDesk keeps the risk low. Your number links to SolderDesk once, the same way you link a computer to WhatsApp, and answering customers who wrote to you first is ordinary use. What WhatsApp restricts is the same text sent to many people at once, so offers go out slowly: one message every three to five minutes, only between 9 am and 9 pm your time, only to the customers you pick, each with the customer's own name and device in it. Customers who asked for no offers are skipped, and a campaign stops itself after three failed sends in a row.

What if the internet goes down?

SolderDesk runs online, so the screens need a connection to reach your records, and they say so when it drops. Everything you saved is kept on the servers, not on the computer, so a cut line or a dead PC loses nothing that was saved. The WhatsApp assistant runs on the servers too and keeps answering customers in the meantime. A phone on mobile data makes a good backup: the same workspace opens on it.

How long does it take to set up?

Creating the workspace takes a few minutes: the name, the address, your e-mail. You can start it with demo data to look around first. Then add your branches, staff and repair price list. Customers and parts come in from a CSV or Excel file, so you don't type them again.

Does it issue VAT invoices, and the ZATCA QR for Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Invoices carry your tax registration number and the customer's, and Saudi invoices carry ZATCA's phase-one QR code, on simplified and standard tax invoices. There is a VAT return report as well. Sending invoices to ZATCA's platform (phase two) is not offered yet.

What does the WhatsApp assistant do, and will it promise prices?

You link your shop's own WhatsApp number once. The assistant answers customers at any hour in their language and dialect, and records the customer, the device and what they want: a repair, a quote, an appointment, a part or an accessory, to buy a phone, or to sell or trade one in. It answers "is my phone ready?" and "what do I owe?" from your records, and steps aside as soon as someone on your team replies. It never quotes prices; those stay with your team.

What if it isn't for me?

Stop before the trial ends and nothing is charged. If you paid for a year, the first yearly payment is refunded in full when you ask within 14 days (refund policy). Either way your data stays yours: export all of it any day, and after you stop the workspace stays readable for at least 90 days.
