SolderDesk compared

Every shop already runs on something. Here is how SolderDesk compares with the usual ones, including what they do well and when they are enough.

• SolderDesk vs Excel

  The spreadsheet is free and flexible. It also can't stop two people editing the same repair, count a warranty, warn you about stock, or send a customer anything.

• SolderDesk vs paper repair tickets

  Paper is quick at the counter and never needs charging. It's also where repairs get lost, passcodes sit in the open, warranties get argued and the month's numbers stay a guess.

• SolderDesk vs accounting software

  Accounting software is made for the books. It doesn't know an IMEI, a bench, a technician, a warranty or a customer waiting on WhatsApp.

• SolderDesk vs a generic POS

  A till is good at selling a boxed item fast. A repair isn't a boxed item: it has a device, a fault, a technician, a waiting customer and a warranty.
