FAQ

Automotive Systems is a family of software platforms for the motor trade. Each product pairs an operations dashboard with an SEO website builder for a specific part of the vehicle lifecycle — selling, servicing, teaching, renting and reserving vehicles — all sharing one design system, login and billing model.

End of Q4 2026. Launching Q4 2026 across the family. WorkshopOS remains in development; the other products ship with the platform.

No. Each product has its own plans, and all of them are paid from the first site, instructor or vehicle. DrivingSchoolOS starts at £19 for a solo instructor; PreBookingOS starts at £39 for an owner-driver. WorkshopOS adds Callout for mobile tyre and mobile mechanics. Larger schools, fleets and desks step onto a higher band.

Most operators stitch together a booking tool, a website, a payments provider and a spreadsheet. Automotive Systems ships those as one product per business type, so your dashboard and your marketing site are the same system and never fall out of sync.

Yes. They share a core (accounts, payments, compliance rules, CMS and SEO engine) and a single sign-on. One organisation can enable several modules. ForecourtOS Pro includes WorkshopOS on that same organisation — the dealer and the garage, one login. WorkshopOS remains in development.

Co-driver is the WhatsApp and SMS desk that ships in every Automotive Systems product. It speaks as the business, looks up the live file (stock, jobs, lessons, hire, bookings), and either replies or hands the thread to a person. It will not invent a price, quote finance, or handle a complaint. It sits on every band except Starter and Solo. WorkshopOS Callout includes it.

Each product generates programmatic per-town or per-model landing pages with valid JSON-LD, server-rendered HTML, clean sitemaps and fast Core Web Vitals — the levers that drive local organic ranking and AI-answer citations. It's built for search from the ground up, not bolted on.
