Separate spare parts from mechanic labour.
A modern garage is part retail store and part service business. BBS combines both, tying all inventory deductions and labour charges directly to the customer's Vehicle Number.

Perfectly optimized for: Car & Bike Workshops, Detailers, Tyre Centers, and Auto Spare Parts Outlets.
"Combines spare parts retail with labour service billing. Unlike basic retail, invoices are created via Job Cards that record physical parameters like odometer readings and vehicle registration plates."
Key Benefits
- Auto-tracks customer's past vehicle history to recommend required mileage services.
- Tracks mechanic productivity and assignment details on active Job Cards.
- Allows sending automated WhatsApp service estimates directly to owners.
Mixing inventory items with service charges destroys your GST filing.
If a customer brings in a car for a brake pad replacement, you are selling two things: the physical brake pad (28% GST) and the mechanic's labour (18% Service Tax). If your generic retail software treats "Labour" as just another inventory item, your accountant will pull their hair out during tax season because Goods and Services must be filed under completely different HSN/SAC codes.
Why Generic Software Fails:
- • Cannot cleanly split Goods (Spare Parts) and Services (Labour) on the same bill.
- • No Job Card workflow (Estimate -> Approval -> Repair -> Final Bill).
- • Fails to log vehicle history (Odometer reading, License Plate number).
Real-World Use Cases
How Bharat Billing System actually performs in a busy auto workshop.
Case 1: The WhatsApp Estimate Approval
Scenario: A customer drops off their car for a "strange engine noise" and goes to work. The mechanic diagnoses the issue and finds it needs a new alternator and belt, costing ₹8,500 total. You need the customer's approval before starting work.
The BBS Advantage: You create a "Job Card Estimate" in BBS and click the WhatsApp button. The customer receives a professional PDF showing the breakdown of parts and labour. They reply "Go ahead." With one click, you convert that Estimate into an Active Job Card. When the car is ready, another click converts the Job Card into a Final Invoice. Zero double-entry.
Case 2: Vehicle Service History Log
Scenario: A customer brings their bike in and complains, "You guys changed my oil last month and now the engine is knocking."
The BBS Advantage: You type the bike's license plate number (`MH-12-AB-3456`) into BBS. The system instantly pulls up the entire service history. You see that they *did* come in last month, but they declined the oil change on the Job Card to save money. You show them the PDF proof. Dispute resolved instantly.
