Everytime a job gets created a new supplier name gets created too and is time consuming merging them after in Xero, and deleting duplicates. Remember is a mechanic doing financial data entry!. Also, would be nice that only transactions with the invoice attached gets migrated to Xero, and that the pdf gets also transferred as is time consuming when you need to have a look the document you have to go back to mechanic desk and the search tool in here is very restricted as you can not filter columns/info or organise data for analysis.
Response from MechanicDesk
Hi Daniela, MechanicDesk will match the name of the supplier and customer to the contact in Xero so if you enter the name to be exactly the same, they will matchup, this duplicates issue should not be an ongoing issue, please contact our support, we can do a team Viewer session to demonstrate it and also see if we can find anything in your account that is causing it. With regard to attaching the pdf, unfortunately, MechanicDesk allows admin and owner users to adjust the invoice after finalisation when Xero does not if there an attached payment so, in some instance, when you do so, the pdf might not be able to be updated in Xero causing discrepancies. We suggest do you most of the daily operation activities in MechanicDesk and use Xero for tax, banking reconciliation, payroll and financial reports purposes.

Fantastic for Mechanics!
Very good system, the small things that aren't super friendly with integrating with xero there are easy ways around it and they do try and help as much and as quickly as they can. They seem to always be developing/improving the program as well.

Best choice I have made for our workshop
We have been using Mechanic desk in our Forklift Mechanic workshop for the last 3 years. When we started we only used about 20% of the system. Going through the covid pandemic we have opened up more and more areas to allow us to operate more remotely. The more we use, the more impressed we are with the usability and content. The designers really have thought of everything and who the end user is. i.e. Mechanics who usually don't have the most amazing computer literacy.
All of this is backed up with AMAZING customer service. Nothing is ever a problem and the tech support is fantastic. They call you back straight away and you always get an effective clear answer to your enquiry.
This program has been a game changer for our business and I cannot recommend it more highly.
