Multi-Site Garage Software for Groups & Chains
Run every branch of your garage group from a single login — one dashboard for bookings, jobs, invoicing and reporting across every site, with the control to manage each branch individually or the whole group at once.
Definition
What is multi-site garage software?
Multi-site garage software is a single system that runs every branch of a garage group or chain, rather than each site operating on its own separate booking, invoicing and job management tools. Every site works from the same system, instead of a patchwork of local tools that do not talk to each other.
Each site gets on with its own day-to-day work, while head office sees every site in one place — and can look closer at any single branch whenever it is needed.
Groups need this because running separate systems per site creates blind spots — owners cannot compare performance across branches, customer records fragment between locations, and processes drift as each site does things its own way. A single multi-site system keeps the customer database and every process consistent across the group, so growth adds sites without adding complexity.
What it does
Built to run a group, not just a garage
One dashboard for every site
See every site in one place, without switching between systems.
Group-wide reporting & KPIs
Know how the whole group is doing, and which sites need your attention.
Stay in control of every site
Head office keeps oversight while each site team gets on with its own work.
Shared customer & vehicle database across sites
A customer who visits two of your branches is known at both — no re-keying and no duplicate accounts.
Consistent processes and branding
Every site works the same way, so quality does not vary branch to branch.
Scales as you add sites
Add a new branch without a new system to buy or a separate rollout.
Group visibility
What group owners see across every site
Running a garage group means knowing how each branch is performing, not just the group as a whole. Autex gives owners and area managers a clear view of every site side by side, so underperforming branches are visible immediately and strong sites can be used as the benchmark for the rest of the group.

Who benefits most
Which businesses need multi-site garage software?
Established garage groups running several branches under one ownership are the clearest fit — every site already needs the same job management, invoicing and reporting, and running them on one system removes the duplicated admin and blind spots that come from separate tools per branch.
Garages expanding from a single site to a second location benefit just as much — moving onto multi-site software before the second branch opens means every site works the same way from day one, rather than having to migrate everything later once bad habits are already set.
Franchises and operators consolidating acquired sites also rely on it heavily — a cloud-based platform lets a newly acquired garage join the rest of the group quickly, without a lengthy separate rollout for every site added.
FAQ
Common questions about multi-site garage software
- What is multi-site garage software?
- Multi-site garage software is a single system that runs every branch of a garage group or chain, rather than each site running its own separate booking, invoicing and job management tools. Staff at any site log into the same platform, and head office sees every branch from one dashboard instead of chasing figures from several disconnected systems.
- Can I see all my sites in one place?
- Yes. Autex lets you see every site in one place — the whole group at a glance, or any single branch when you need it.
- Can each site have its own settings and staff access?
- Yes. Each site team gets on with its own work, while group owners keep full oversight of every location.
- Does reporting roll up across the whole group?
- Yes. You can compare performance across sites and spot which branches need attention, without pulling figures together by hand.
- Is customer data shared across sites?
- Yes. A customer visiting a different branch is recognised straight away, with their vehicle history to hand — no duplicate records and no re-entering data.
- How easy is it to add a new site?
- Adding a new site means adding it to your existing Autex account — there is no new system to buy, install or train staff on separately. New branches are up and running quickly, working the same way as the rest of the group.
