Technician commissions without manual calculation disputes.
Technician commissions are one of the most common sources of conflict in a repair shop. Calculated by hand at month-end, remembered differently, and hard to prove when someone feels shorted. A single wrong calculation is enough to break the trust of your best technician.
Automan calculates commissions from recorded transactions, not from memory — per service and per part, using a profit or turnover method, down to per-item rules. The result is fair, provable, and its payroll connects straight into the books.
Commissions as flexible as your shop’s policy
Not every shop calculates commissions the same way, and Automan doesn’t force one format. You can set:
- Per service or per part — service commission can differ from parts commission.
- Profit or turnover — choose the basis that fits your style.
- Percentage or fixed amount — 30% of profit, or a flat sum per job.
- Special per-item rules — certain items can have their own scheme.
For example: a technician earns 30% of profit, but a screen replacement carries a flat commission of Rp20,000. Rules that specific are handled automatically — not recalculated by hand every payday.
Commission setup: per service/part, profit or turnover, down to per-item rules.
Calculated from data, not memory
Because every job is recorded in the repair workflow’s work records, commissions form automatically from what was actually done. No more “as I recall,” no more error-prone manual tallies. When a technician asks “why is it this much?”, the answer is in the data — not in an argument.
Payroll connected to the books
Salaries and commissions aren’t a separate note. Once calculated, both are recorded as an expense in accounting, so your profit and loss already reflects labor cost with no double entry. The owner sees real profit — after commissions, not before.
Why this keeps your team solid
A technician who feels fairly counted stays; one who feels shortchanged leaves — often to a competitor. With transparent, provable profit-sharing, you remove one of the biggest reasons technicians quit. This isn’t just a payroll feature — it’s how you protect a repair shop’s most valuable asset: the people who can actually do the work.
