Software Advice
RepairCMS is software for repair shops. If you’d like your own phone repaired, here is how to find a repair shop.
When a customer asks about their phone, the answer is on the work order.
Has the new screen come in yet?
Do you still need my OK for the battery?
Can I pick up my iPhone today?
Questions like these eat up time when the details are spread across paper notes, chat messages and different people on your team.
Every detail stays with the device
IMEI, accessories, condition and diagnosis stay on the same work order.
Your team sees what comes next
You and your team see which phone is being repaired right now and what comes next.
Customers check for themselves
Your customers follow their repair in the customer portal or in the customer app instead of calling with every question.
Workflow
How a phone repair works in RepairCMS.
What you record at check-in stays on the same work order at every step that follows.
Step 1
Check in the phone
Record brand, model, condition and accessories such as a case or charging cable, and scan the IMEI with the camera. Note the fault and have your customer sign for the check-in in the app.
Optional: device label
Print a label with the work order number and storage location and stick it on the phone or its tray. That way your team finds the right phone, and scanning the label with the app opens the work order.
Step 2
Record the diagnosis and get approval
Your team records the diagnosis, the labor and the spare parts in the service report, such as a new screen. This becomes the quote that your customer reviews and approves online. You can add a battery replacement as an optional item, and your customer decides whether to include it.
Step 3
Repair the phone and show the status
When you change the status, you notify your customer by email in the same step.
Step 4
Create the invoice and hand over the phone
The line items from the service report and the quote are ready for the invoice. You check them, create the invoice and have your customer sign for the handover in the app.

See RepairCMS in two videos.
The explainer video follows one work order from check-in to invoice.
Find the right phone, even when it comes back.
Set up smartphones, tablets, computers and other electronics as their own device categories. With the serial number, you see every earlier repair on the same device. In the app, you can also search by IMEI to find the customer, work order and device.
Example
A customer brings in their iPhone with a cracked screen.
You scan the IMEI, note the scratches on the frame and record the case that came with it. When the same iPhone comes back six months later with a weak battery, an IMEI search also brings up the earlier work order.
Your customer sees for themselves when their phone is ready.
After check-in, your customer gets an email with a link to their repair status. In the customer portal, they see where the repair stands. On their phone, they can also use the customer app to approve the quote and message you directly on the work order.

Let customers request their phone repair online.
With the RepairCMS repair request form, customers describe what’s wrong with their phone on your website, through a link or with a QR code. They find the service they need, such as a screen replacement, and see your price for it. The request lands in RepairCMS, and your team reviews it and turns it into a work order. If your team finds more damage on the phone, your customer gets a quote before the repair and decides whether to go ahead.

Your whole workshop in your pocket
The RepairCMS app is RepairCMS on your phone, with the same login as on your computer and the same work orders, customers and invoices. That way you and your team work right at the device you’re repairing.

On iPhone, create your account on the web and sign in to the app. On Android, you can also sign up right in the app.
Buy used phones from customers, right in the app.
In the RepairCMS app, you record a used phone and check its condition. You read the seller’s passport or ID card with the camera, without saving an image of it. The seller signs the purchase contract in the app, and you add the phone to your stock. You can download the trade-in list as a PDF, Excel or CSV file.
RepairCMS is software for shops that repair phones.
Phone repair shops, repair businesses and service centers manage their repair work orders with RepairCMS. If you’d like your own phone repaired, try searching Google Maps for “phone repair” and your town. If you have already dropped off your phone, open your repair status with the link in the repair shop’s email. In the Repair Status by RepairCMS customer app, you sign in with a code you receive by email or text message.

If you connect your seven.io account and turn on text messages for status changes, your customer can also get a text when the status changes. In the RepairCMS app you decide with each status change whether the text goes out. seven.io bills you directly for the texts.
