About the Client

VectorCRM is a software product designed for automotive service businesses, including repair shops, garages, tuning studios, and detailing centres. It helps these businesses coordinate day-to-day operations, maintain structured service records, and manage communication between employees and customers.

The platform brings operational workflows, workforce coordination, inventory, payments, and financial tracking into one connected environment. Rather than relying on informal communication and individual employees’ knowledge, service businesses can use documented processes to maintain continuity, monitor progress, and keep relevant information accessible to the people who need it.

Summary

Lionwood worked on VectorCRM from May 2026, delivering the MVP in August. The team developed a connected product comprising a web-based back office and three mobile applications for managers, mechanics, and customers.

The initial release established the core operational workflows, with development continuing after launch to expand the platform. During the first two months following release, VectorCRM reached approximately 1,500 registered users.

Business Challenge

Automotive service businesses must coordinate multiple activities at once: assigning work, keeping track of repairs, managing parts, monitoring employee workloads, communicating with customers, and handling payments. When this information is scattered across spreadsheets, messages, paper records, and individual employees’ memories, maintaining consistent processes becomes difficult.

User challenges

  • Managers: Visibility into repair progress, employee workloads, and outstanding tasks
  • Administrators: Coordinating inventory, worked hours, payments, and finances
  • Mechanics: Administrative load, accessing documentation and context
  • Communicating additional repair findings clearly while keeping historical information
  • Customers: Understanding repair progress, reviewing recommended additional work

Business challenges

  • Connecting multiple user roles and workflows within a coherent product architecture
  • Documenting operational processes consistently and transparently
  • Combining workshop management with inventory & employee accounting
  • Supporting customer engagement without separating it from the repair workflow
  • Accommodating different business sizes, operational needs, existing software

Solution

Lionwood developed VectorCRM as a connected operational platform rather than a conventional customer database. The solution combines a web-based back office with dedicated mobile experiences, allowing each user group to work with the information and actions relevant to its responsibilities.
The development approach prioritised core operational workflows and a practical MVP, followed by continued expansion after launch. This allowed the product to establish its initial functionality while supporting further development in response to evolving product requirements.

Key decisions:

Separate interfaces for different roles

Structured repair workflows

Vehicle and customer records for continuity of service.
