Hi-Tech Lubricant (HTL)
Hi-Tech Lubricant is one of our successful automobile industry application projects that originally required “workshop management software”. They specialize in maintaining light and heavy vehicles with a time limit of 2 hours. The workers had to know about the services, start working on them, check and then deliver. The workers must cover all these steps within the 2hrs.
As the workload is too high and needs to perform quickly, the management feels stuck in recording today’s entry and all data. The excessive number of customers and clients felt a mess in managing clients, and here’s the problem started!
Transform Manual Working Operation to Automation The Problem Statement
The challenge that our client was facing was non-management of working operations. As they were getting thousands of clients daily, it was difficult to handle orders, propose estimations, and check & balance monthly sales.
Although the manual working operation was such a lengthy task, they had to manage if we didn’t propose the idea to handle the ongoing task. The senior project manager and associate managers planned a meeting and discussed the project from scratch. After exploring and jotting down the meeting minutes, our developers and designers started working on it.

The proposition of Ideation The Suggestion
Our team proposed various ideas and helped them to tell what suits them best for their technology solutions. They want to eliminate manual working operations and jump on the automated tech solution to produce more, perform better, and streamline processes.
Our team had done all initial requirements, picked the technology stacks, and mapped out the workflow of the app development cycle. Our proficient designers suggest a prototype as it is the key player to initiate the development process.
Selection of app themes, color pallets, and wireframing are made as per clients’ requirements and our senior developers’ suggestions. Here is the overview of the workshop management software for HTL.
Overview HTL Workshop Automation Application Development
The overall research material for application matters a lot to meet the client’s expectations. Let’s discuss the features and the tech stack we determined to build a robust app to manage the operations and workflows.
In-House and Internet App
This is an in-house app that managers use to manage the workers’ tasks automatically. They don’t need to create manual jobs with a pile of paperwork. But instead, we create a platform where they easily access the whole workflow of day-to-day tasks.
Web App Development
HTL is a web application that covers the whole management of the existence of the internet. It has a maximum amount of functionalities for users that can be easily accessible to manage the performance of the workshop.
Technology Stack Used In Development
Setting the KPIs for organizations to rely upon is challenging. MMC GBL offers all to create effective applications, regardless of technology. Our finest developers begin working on technical problems required to accept this challenge. The technologies for thorough development are listed below.
For Web and Mobile App Back-End - .Net Technology
For back-end development of a web and mobile app, developers used .Net Core technology. The quality of the .Net core is highly acceptable as it helps build complex apps with its rich features and functionalities. In fact, it is an open-source, cross-platform framework with a sharable codebase and API.
Unlike other frameworks, .NET Core is not limited to a single programming language and supports F#, XAML, C#, VB.NET, and TypeScript. These programming languages are open source and managed by independent communities. The .Net possesses advanced and extensive libraries, multi-language features, a common API, and other tools.
The reason behind using .Net core is to provide scalable, fastest, and high-performance developed apps
Front End Development — HTML
For Front-end development, developers chose HTML to build a lightweight and speedy user interface. HTML is easy to handle, simple to edit, and supported by all browsers.
HTML is supported by practically every browser on the globe. So there’s no need to be concerned about the browser support of a website written in HTML since the website will readily display in all browsers if the software remembers to optimize the website for different browsers. HTML gives web developers a simple approach to optimizing websites in HTML according to browsers.
Database — SQL
Our clients also requested database integration. Thus our engineers incorporated the industry-standard database management system “SQL.” It facilitates database communication. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as updating and obtaining data from databases. SQL-based relational database management systems include Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Ingres, etc.
POS Integration With FBR
One of their software integrations is to connect it with FBR for the reason of POS tax deduction on the invoice. For your information, it is a seamless link between your POS software and their workshop management accounting and operations POS integration. Your operations platform can get detailed data from your POS in real-time with integration.
What Features have been Added? A Complete solution
Intuitive Dashboards
On this app, the developers made two user dashboards 1) Workshop Controller Dashboard and 2) Express Centered Dashboards that work on the various functionalities.
Workshop controller dashboards streamline vehicle service management, including customer profile details, customer arrival, job cards, and vehicle delivery status. It helps users know the pending task and the customer in the pipeline projects
Express-centered dashboards represent the monthly lubricant sales, parts sales, and the number of customers with filter-based functionalities.
Set Up Configuration and Implement In Transactions
Developers added the modules to run the business operations that are admin-controlled. Here are the major elements:
Workshop Profile Details
It is easy to manage the workshop profile to record the data such as city, region, franchise type, express center, customer type, and terms & conditions. When the whole process is automated, the database records all minor to major information of any order.
In the service module, the user can simply adjust the service details, rate estimations, additional offers, and the detailed checklist as per customer need.
In the vehicle module, users update vehicle information such as vehicle make a, name, vehicle model, vehicle year, etc.
Easy-to-manage Customer Accounts Details
With HTL, it is easy to set up transactions and record bank account details, tax management, offerings, vouchers, etc. We made it simple to gather all types of transactions and banking stuff in one platform.
Inventory Management
They also need functionality to handle and manage inventories as per their requirement. It streamlines the way to keep track of your inventory and offers a centralized view of stock across sales channels. Moreover, it also helps control the cost streams by creating stock reports and analyses.
The reason behind adding inventory management in software is to reduce costs, plan for the future by analyzing reports, and improve the availability of stocks to meet the customer exceptions.
Procurement Management
Sorting out the suppliers and vendors with HTL is the best idea to manage time and save costs. And our developers roll out this feature by adding it to the app so our client can set the vendor and supplier record concerning the authentic supplier information.
Real-Time Report Analysis
The overall evaluation and analysis describe individual reports of business workflow. It includes inventory reports, workshop reports, accounts reports with GL reports criteria, etc. Users can generate all types of reports based on all modules.
When we were launching the application after conducting multiple testing to ensure the app’s quality, we discovered additional changes in features and functionalities. The team managed to work on it and then again create test cases on behalf of the new add-ons.
Finally, we were able to build a successful project that helped manage the day-to-day tasks of workers in the workshop. Providing the right solution that makes our client’s business scalable is only the aim of our organization. That’s why we gathered a new stats that is achieved by using the workshop automation app:
