What you'd save with HELM.
Typical UK garages lose ~15% of bookings to no-shows and pay 1.7-2.0% per card transaction. HELM takes a deposit at booking, fills the slot if someone no-shows, and processes payments at lower rates, saving you twice.
Plus same-day invoicing means your money lands days faster, and HELM never invents a price (every £ on a customer quote is approved by you or in your catalogue).
Assumptions: 1.75% blended fee on a typical UK card terminal; HELM-managed card processing at 1.4% + 20p per transaction; average job £180; no-show rate 15% → 4% with deposit-at-booking; £150 average lost work per no-show. Conservative figures from published UK garage benchmarks, your real numbers will vary, and we'll show you per-shop estimates on a call.
What HELM does.
Designed to remove the admin, not the people.
Answers your phone, WhatsApp, email
Every channel a customer uses lands in one place. HELM picks up in your tone, knows who's calling, and books them in, even at 9pm on a Sunday.
Books and confirms jobs
Holds your diary. Proposes times that actually work. Confirms the day before. No-shows drop, double-bookings disappear.
Chases the money
Renewals, services due, unpaid invoices. Politely and persistently followed up, in your name, in your voice.
Sends quotes and invoices
Drafts the quote from the conversation. Sends the invoice the moment the job's done. Customers approve with one tap.
Writes the post-job summary
Branded PDF with photos, line items, costs, and what to watch for next time. Customers forward it to their accountant.
Tells you what needs you
One short morning brief: what got booked overnight, what got paid, what needs your eyes. About two minutes of admin a day.
Built for hands-on work, solo or team.
Same brain. Different vocabulary. Whether it's you on your own or a shop floor of ten.
MOTs, services, parts, courtesy cars. Live now.
Hair, lashes, brows, nails. Knows each client's regulars.
Sessions, programmes, payments, no-show recovery.
Round-day reminders, gutters add-on, paid same day.
Recalls, treatment plans, reminders, payment plans.
Hours-tracking, rebooks, test-day comms, theory chase.
Recurring slots, parent comms, progress updates, invoicing.
On-the-road bookings, deposits, location confirms.
Vaccinations, recalls, prescription refills, post-op check-ins.
Course of treatment, sliding scale, missed-session chase.
Recurring bookings, route admin, photo updates.
Quoting from the van, parts ETA, customer updates.
HELM scales down to a one-person business and up to a multi-site team. Same product, different shape.
How it shows up.
No new app for your customers. No app for you either.
For your customers
They call your number. They WhatsApp the same number they always have. They reply to your emails. HELM picks up. They never know they're talking to anything other than your front desk.
For your team
WhatsApp the bot 'show today', get today's board. 'Approve 4f3', done. The mechanic / stylist / clinician marks a job done from the floor in one message. HELM does the rest.
For you, the owner
A web dashboard kept up-to-date by HELM in real time. Today's board. Customer history. The audit log of everything HELM did. Override anything in one tap.
