Features

One platform. Every part of the shop.

Tendwa is built for tire and auto-service shops that have outgrown a generic POS. Here's everything inside.

Point of sale

Ring up tires, wheels, and services on any tablet or counter PC. Builds a clean ticket that flows straight into the invoice.

  • Tire- and wheel-aware line items with fitment data
  • Tax tables, labor, and shop-supply lines built in
  • Customer and vehicle pulled from existing records

Estimates with digital approval

Send the customer a single link. They review the estimate, sign on screen, and approve — no app and no login required.

  • Public approval link with token-based access
  • Canvas-based digital signature, timestamped
  • Approved estimate converts to an invoice in one click

Invoicing & payments

Branded PDF invoices generated on demand. Email straight from the ticket, with a Stripe payment link if you want one.

  • Crystal Reports PDF, no pre-stored files
  • Email delivery via Azure Communication Services
  • Stripe payment link for fast paid-in-full collection

Tire inventory

A real tire-shop catalog — brand, pattern, size, speed and load rating, location, and stock movement.

  • Search by size, brand, or pattern in milliseconds
  • Stock by location, aisle, and bin
  • Tire logs track every transfer and sale

AI-assisted tire creation

Type a tire code or paste a description — Tendwa drafts the SKU with brand, model, size, and load/speed rating. Confirm and it's in inventory.

  • Auto-fills brand, model, size, load/speed rating
  • Validates against existing catalog to avoid duplicates
  • One-click confirm and add to stock

Wheel inventory

Wheels are first-class — not buried under generic parts. Track maker, style, offset, bolt pattern, and hub bore on every SKU.

  • Maker, style, offset, bolt pattern, hub bore
  • Photos, logos, and stock per location
  • Drops straight onto an invoice as a line item

VIN decoder & vehicle specs

Decode a 17-character VIN to the full picture: make, model, year, engine, oil viscosity and capacity, and tire/wheel fitment.

  • Engine: HP, displacement, fuel, induction, cylinders
  • Oil: viscosity, API spec, capacity, change interval
  • Fitment: front/rear tire size, bolt pattern, lug spec

License plate decoder

Type a US plate, get the VIN and full vehicle profile. Saves three minutes on every walk-in.

  • Plate → VIN → make/model/year/trim
  • Cached so repeat lookups are free
  • US plates today; more regions coming

Customer & vehicle records

Every customer, every vehicle, every visit on one timeline. Search by name, phone, plate, or VIN.

  • Customer profile with linked vehicles
  • Per-vehicle service history and odometer reads
  • Soft delete and restore — nothing is lost

Dashboard & reports

Owner-level visibility into sales, profit, expenses, and inventory without opening a spreadsheet.

  • Today, last 7, last 30, this month, custom range
  • Sales, profit, expense, tire & wheel inventory reports
  • Filtered live by company, scoped per shop

Real-time updates

Built on SignalR — when a tech rings up a ticket or a customer signs an estimate, every screen updates instantly.

  • Live grid refresh, no F5 required
  • Estimate-approval events broadcast to the team
  • Works across browsers and tabs

Multi-shop & multi-tenant

Run a group of shops on one platform. Each location gets its own subdomain, its own users, and its own data.

  • Subdomain per shop (e.g. yourshop.tendwa.com)
  • Users can have different roles in different shops
  • Strict data isolation by company

Roles, permissions & audit

Five role templates and ~80 granular permissions. Plus an audit log so you can see who changed what and when.

  • Super admin, admin, manager, user, reader
  • Permission per feature, hidden from the UI when off
  • JWT-based API auth for integrations

Stripe Connect & API

Connect your own Stripe to accept customer payments. Plus a JWT-based REST API for anything custom.

  • Stripe Connect: payouts to your bank
  • Customer payment link on every invoice
  • REST API + JWT for mobile and partner apps
Tendwa invoice list with decoded vehicle data — license plate, year/make/model, and odometer per row

Type a plate. Get the whole vehicle.

Tendwa’s VIN decoder goes way past make/model. Engine specs, oil viscosity and capacity, change interval, tire and wheel fitment — all populated before the customer finishes their coffee.
