Great product for Automotive Workshop
SAM works well for us in our workshop. The support has been great if we are ever stuck on anything. The team behind SAM are always looking for ways to improve the system. We are glad we moved.
Pros
It's an easy to use system with great features and reports available. Our client database moved over from our previous software with no problems.
Cons
We found the time clocking function a little difficult when it came to jobs that were part of a "job kit".

It's great to hear that find the system easy to use and are benefitting from the features, I will pass that feedback onto our product team.

Best thing we've done for our business
The installers were great at helping us get the hang of using SAM and when they thought we were up to speed we switched over to using SAM support. We do find that SAM support can be hard to get hold of sometimes, you can't get straight through to talk to someone anymore and this can be frustrating waiting for a phone call back. Although there are things that could be improved we would highly recommend this product to any automotive garage.
Pros
It has made our business more efficient. We are saving money as there are no longer parts and time being left off Job invoices. Time Clocking is a brilliant addition. Sending out WOF reminders is a lot easier with SAM and so is contacting our customers via email and text direct from the program. There are so many more great reasons to use SAM in your workshop we love it.
Cons
When we switched from MYOB to SAM the information wasn't all correct, it was a lot of back and forward between us and SAM and our business Mentor, who had an accounting background, we were using at the time. It did take a while to get things right but we got there and it was totally worth it. We would love to be able to use SAM in real time on our Cellphones it would make things even more efficient but they haven't got that available yet.

Simple SAM
Pros
Once you understand how SAM works, it is very easy to use. Easy to get integrated with XERO which makes statements and invoicing very quick.
The SI agents are wonderful to deal with especially when setting things up or spending time making sure you understand new features.
Cons
2 of the biggest downfalls of SAM are that there is no app for phone use and the diary doesn't run individual techs, so you cant at a glance see who has space to fit jobs in, a real pain if you have a WOF inspector, a service tech and multiple techs doing repairs

Most in-depth system out there
Our experience with SAM has only been positive and although we have looked at changing software packages in the past, we couldn't find anything that came close to offering the depth, ongoing support or integration that SAM does. We consider the benefits SAM offer far outweigh the cost!
Pros
We love the fact that SAM integrates everything we need to run our workshop in the one software package; CSM, vehicle history, financials and reporting, electronic diary, debtors, creditors...everything! It is easy to learn and technical support is great should you need it. Love the ease we can manage our margins on each job, making us more profitable. We consider SAM one of our best tools we've invested in for our workshop.
Cons
The electronic diary needs improving and it would be great if the software was cloud-based to allow easy, reliable and secure access from anywhere. An improved, more user-friendly training or help section would be ideal to get new staff quickly up to speed and it would be great if the pricing packages could also be structured to better suit a small business budget! The day-to-day operation though is definitely fit for purpose.
Alternatives Considered

Pros
Takes a bit to get codes correct and sort how you want to load stock but once sorted, easy to use
Cons
Other than MYOB, haven't used anything else so feel its suits its purpose

Hi Raewyn,
Thank you for taking the time to review us.
I have passed on your comments to the support team and it's made their day.
It's great to hear that you value an industry specific application to run your business rather than a generic system, especially as the reporting is more meaningful.

A great system that understands a workshops needs
SAM is brilliant workshop software that makes our lives a lot easier!
Pros
SAM understands how workshops work and how they flow - the system is built around giving us the features we need to do a good job for our customers. Our customers in particular love the text message system for bookings, reminders and letting them know when their car is ready. We also utilize vehicle notes and our customers LOVE that when they come in/ring, we can pull the information up quickly and let them know what we noted would need attention at their next booking.
Cons
It would be great if SAM was easier to access - eg web based so we could easily connect while on holiday or working from home. Would also LOVE to be able to book multiple techs on to one job in the diary as we often have a separate tech doing the wof to the service and it makes it hard to clearly see how much availability each tech has.

Sam For Our Workshop
Sam has provided us with a workshop tool that has been easy for everyone to use. The best adaption for us has been the integration with Xero for an accounting package. We also find the reporting and follow ups for our customers very useful, we feel there are still more functions that we are yet to discover/use.
Pros
We have found Sam easy to use and love the integration with Xero. Our team find it efficient and and we have recently found the support team helpful for any queries that come up. Sending out help articles has been most helpful.
Cons
We would like to see a better help function, maybe a virtual one or something easily accessible. It would be great to have follow up to ensure we are using Sam to its potential.

Implementing SAM in a Motorcycle Franchise
We believe SAM has helped with retaining new customers and our return customers appreciate the service reminders etc as well as being able to check on work history on individual vehicles.
Pros
SAM has several great features we like to use, being able to allocate individual invoices against a customers vehicle, set up service reminders, contact customer directly from SAM, change a vehicle to a new owner and still retain all its service history...
Cons
Apart from a few small issues with GST rounding on invoices and the odd server fail this software has been a large improvement for our business. Stock taking process could do with improving somehow possibly... very laborious manually entering as it is currently.

User of 10+ years
I need to get some training in the background/setup areas now that we're using our GL level reports more (I've pretty much learnt on the job) but it's a very intuitive system & the software ppl regularly release updates & tweaks. I've considered jumping ship when I hear about features in other packages but when I've really looked at them; far better off with SAM. Better to suggest these features to SAM & win both ways.
Pros
The responsiveness of the team - if something hits the fan, you KNOW the support ppl are available . I've managed to do many weird & wonderful things to my data - always been rescued !!
Cons
We're looking forward to the new diary revamp as it's now vital to us with the increase in staff & workload - well overdue. There are a few minor tweaks I'd like in data range selection for the reports.

Great experience with Sam support. Always willing to offer advice.
Pros
It fitted very easily in what we do. We can find vehicles by registration numbers. Unable to insert two registration numbers the same.
Split invoices are magic. More than one client can be invoiced for the same job, but for different parts on the invoice.
Job text library saves a lot of writing.
Complete history of parts used and where purchased.
Cons
Unable to copy and paste, long chassis numbers and part numbers. The Reprice option under invoice view catches us out, when doing split invoices.

Sam Workshop software
Sam works very well for me for running our medium size workshop.
Pros
The support you get when there is an issue.
Cons
That it is difficult to change an invoice once it has been invoiced off.
Changing the technician's clocked times can waste time you don`t have when a customer is waiting at the counter.
Response from Auxo Software
Hi Bryce,
Thank you for taking the time to review us and providing us with some feedback.
I have passed on your postive feedback to the support teams, that made their day.
Changing an invoice after it has been invoiced off is not easy, which is why we have redesigned the way it works in our new web product, it's much easier.
Don't hesitate to contact me if needed.
Many Thanks
