Built from the inside
The product started in a working small engine repair shop, where the same person may answer the phone, write the ticket, order the part, take payment, and close the drawer.
Private investor brief
ShopPilot Pro and XL release together in mid 2026 with a practical single-store operating system. Multi-Store and Rental back ends are due early 2027, creating a deliberate path from small-shop workflow to a broader platform.
Why this is interesting
The product started in a working small engine repair shop, where the same person may answer the phone, write the ticket, order the part, take payment, and close the drawer.
Small repair shops need better software, but many cannot justify expensive dealership systems or cloud-only platforms built for larger operations.
Pro and XL establish the trusted system of record. Multi-Store and Rental extend the same operating data into new workflows without forcing the first product to become bloated.
Product architecture
The roadmap separates daily shop operations from future back-end complexity, protecting product clarity while creating room for expansion.
One store · 1–5 people
Complete repair workflow, POS, inventory, purchasing, tablet, reporting, backup, and owner controls.
One store · 6+ people
Everything in Pro plus advanced parts intelligence, departments, shifts, permissions, workload balancing, and manager oversight.
Cross-store dashboards, location-scoped permissions, inventory transfers, consolidated reporting, and central owner oversight.
Expansion revenue pathFleet availability, reservations, contracts, check-out and return, deposits, rental billing, service holds, and utilization.
Adjacent workflow pathThe growth story
The Pro-only baseline can grow one demo and one shop-owner referral at a time. XL, Multi-Store, and Rental represent additional potential; they are deliberately excluded from the baseline figures below.
Live planning estimator
Adjust customer counts, monthly rates, and estimated margin. The default view shows all four products operating: Pro and XL use current working rates; Multi-Store and Rental use editable early-2027 planning assumptions, not published pricing.
Planning model
Planning numbers, not guarantees. Assumes only the regular ShopPilot Pro price of $59.99/month with POS included and a 60% estimated profit margin. No XL, Multi-Store, or Rental revenue is included.
What capital accelerates
The ask
ShopPilot already has a real-world origin and a specific first buyer. The investment case is launching Pro and XL well, proving recurring demand, and using that trusted operating backbone to unlock the Multi-Store and Rental back ends due early 2027.
