Workshop Software iOS & Android App Now Available

Pembroke Pines, FL  –
Mertech Data Systems, a leading provider of application development products and services, announced availability of a native iOS application it designed and developed for Workshop Software, based in Sydney, Australia. The new app is now available free to download in the Apple Store.

Mertech previously developed a robust SaaS platform for Workshop Software using the latest open source and cloud technologies. The application allows small automotive workshops to streamline job management and customer engagement operations. Mertech designed and developed the native iOS application version within a rapid five-week turnaround and leveraged the same API interface from Workshop's SaaS platform.

"After evaluating Workshop's previous application and carefully considering their requirements, Mertech implemented a complete redesign and re-architecture of the platform," said Riaz Merchant, president and CEO of Mertech. "Since the launch of the SaaS platform, Workshop gained more new subscribers in the first month of release than the previous two years in the market. We expect continued user growth for Workshop with the availability of the new iOS app."

Features and Benefits of Workshop's SaaS Platform:

• Full features for auto shops to run operations from anywhere, any device, any time
  
  
• Simple, intuitive, and very fast user interface
  
  
• Seamlessly integration with Xero and MYOB accounting packages and parts supplier Repco
  
  
• Cost-effective re-engineering of the site using open source technologies (i.e. Ruby on Rails, Angular JS, etc)
