A day at your shop — open the day, ticket by voice, quick POS sale, bookings, finish the day

The whole day, in one routine

Most repair shops don't need more features — they need a routine that works on a busy day. This guide follows a phone repair shop from the moment the door opens to the moment the drawer is counted, and shows the one or two taps each step takes in RepairCoreX.

Morning: open the day

When you sign in, a bar at the top of the screen tells you today's day isn't opened yet. Tap Open day and today's report begins. The starting cash is filled in for you from the last time the drawer was counted, so there's nothing to type.

Forgot? The first sale at the Point of Sale opens the day by itself. Nothing is ever blocked because the day wasn't opened.

Tip: if your team clocks in, tap Clock In in the top bar at the same time.

Check what's on today

The Dashboard is the shop at a glance: today's revenue, open tickets, today's appointments, new customers and low-stock items, with the week's revenue and where every ticket stands. Two minutes here in the morning tells you which jobs are due and what needs ordering.

A customer walks in: create a ticket by voice

Open Tickets → New Ticket and tap ✨ AI. Say the job the way you'd tell a colleague — *"Emily Johnson, 212 555 1010, iPhone 13, the battery drains fast, she wants it tomorrow."*

RepairCoreX fills in the customer, the device, the problem and the due date. If the phone number belongs to a customer you already have, they're picked for you — no duplicates. Check the fields and press Create Ticket. Nothing is saved until you do.

Prefer typing? Type the same sentence into the box instead. Ticket Creation with AI is included on every plan, even Free.

Follow every job on the board

Switch the Tickets page to Kanban and every job is a card that moves from Received, to In Progress, to Ready. Your customer can follow the same progress on their own tracking link, so fewer "is it ready yet?" calls.

Sell an accessory at the counter

At Point of Sale, open the till, search or scan the item — a charger, a screen protector — and press Checkout. Choose cash, card or mobile payment and complete the sale. Stock goes down by itself, and the receipt is ready to print.

See today's bookings

Customers who book online land straight on the Appointments calendar, by technician, with the service they chose. Glance at it when the day starts and again after lunch.

Paid cash from the till? Record it

When the courier is paid from the drawer, record it in Expenses → New Expense, mark it as already paid in cash and tick Paid from the till. That one tick is what keeps tonight's cash count right — the system knows that cash left the drawer.

Evening: finish the day

Go to End of Day and tap Finish the day. It's three short steps:

Today at a glance: sales, profit from sales, expenses and net profit — and the cash that should be in the drawer, line by line.
Count the cash: count the drawer and type one number. If it's short or over, add a one-line reason.
Done: the day is closed, and the owner gets a summary on their phone — sales, expenses, net profit, and whether the cash matched.

Any time: the Day Book

Reports → Day Book lists every sale, payment and expense of a day — money in and money out — so you can answer "where did that cash go?" in seconds.

Don't count cash every day? That's fine

Many shops only count the drawer once a week, or simply forget some days. RepairCoreX is built for that:

Sales, invoices, payments and reports work every day, whether or not the day was opened or finished.
When you do tap Finish the day, the count covers every day since the last count — including days nobody opened. The screen says so: *"This count covers 6 days"*, with the cash in and out of each day.
The days in between are closed with it, marked as counted together with that day.

So count every evening if you like the control, or once a week if that suits your shop — the expected cash is right either way.

The routine on one page

Morning: Open day · check the Dashboard
All day: tickets by voice · track the board · POS sales · bookings · expenses from the till
Evening: Finish the day · glance at the Day Book

Ten minutes of routine a day, and the shop's numbers are always ready when you need them.
