Why a Melbourne workshop built its own inspection software
PrestigeOS wasn’t built in a startup office. It was built by Leon Lee inside StarTech Prestige — a family workshop in Cranbourne West that has serviced this community for over two decades — because the tools we tried didn’t fit how a real bay works.
Software shaped by the workshop floor
The bay came first
Every capture mode exists because a technician with greasy gloves refused to type. Scan the job card, speak the note, photograph the finding — those aren’t features from a whiteboard, they’re from our floor.
The customer report is the product
We watched customers approve work when the report was readable and evidenced, and stall when it wasn’t. So the report is what everything serves.
We run it ourselves
The software you’d subscribe to is the software running our own inspections. When something annoys our team, it gets fixed — because it annoys us first.
Now open to other workshops
We’re opening PrestigeOS to other Australian workshops — the published founding offer (10 workshops, $200/month + GST, closes 31 August 2026) is on the pricing page. If you run a workshop and want inspection software built by people who do your job, start the trial and judge it in your own bays. PrestigeOS pricing is public: Founder $200/month + GST (500 AI generations a month — the app’s published founding offer is limited to 10 workshops and closes 31 August 2026 or when the places are claimed), Growth $599/month + GST (1,500 AI generations) and Scale $999/month + GST (4,000 AI generations). Every plan has the full feature set, unlimited staff and mobile + desktop access, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — current pricing always lives at app.startechprestige.com.au/plans.
