Switching a workshop off paper, without the drama
The graveyard of workshop software is full of platforms the boss loved and the bays ignored. The switch works when the technicians choose it — here is the sequence we would run (and ran ourselves).
Four steps, two weeks
1. One bay, one week
Your most open-minded technician, their choice of capture mode. Everyone else stays on paper. No mandates.
2. Show the report
Put the digital report next to the paper outcome for the same kind of job in the toolbox meeting. Let the difference argue.
3. The desk goes second
Reception starts sending the reviewed reports. The measure is customer response, not tidiness.
4. Then decide together
Two weeks of real evidence beats any demo. If the bays don’t want it by then, don’t buy it — ours or anyone’s.
Adoption is the product
PrestigeOS was shaped by this exact rollout in our own workshop — capture had to be typing-optional and forgiving (autosave, recovery) before anyone would carry it into a bay. The trial is 14 days for exactly this reason. PrestigeOS pricing is public: three plans — Starter, Growth and Pro — priced by monthly AI generation volume, never by features. Every plan has the full feature set, unlimited staff and mobile + desktop access, and Starter includes a 14-day free trial. Current plans and pricing live on our PrestigeOS page.
