I own a repair shop, so I have some good stories to tell. However, I think the most irresponsible is this one. We used to be doing our business the old fashioned way. We wrote everything in the book and did the positioning of the pieces and accounting by ourselves. One day my car broke a little. I needed some LEDs and spent around 6 hours looking for them in the shop. I knew we had bought some, but I couldn't check whether we sold all of them or not. After that, I decided to digitalize the business and asked https://autoleap.com to develop software.
