ShopDocs is not a shop-management system — it's the SOP, coaching, and KPI layer that sits on top of one. Tekmetric is a full shop-management system: repair orders, estimates, parts, scheduling, and payment processing. Different category, different job.

| Voice input | Yes | No |
Yes — most shops do. Tekmetric (or a similar shop-management system) handles day-to-day repair orders, and ShopDocs runs alongside it for training, coaching, and KPIs. Tekmetric doesn't do SOPs or ops coaching, so the two don't compete — they cover different parts of running the shop.
Does ShopDocs replace Tekmetric?
No. Tekmetric runs your repair orders, estimates, parts, scheduling, and payments. ShopDocs doesn't do any of that — it's the SOP, coaching, and KPI layer that sits on top of whatever shop-management system you already use.
Can I use ShopDocs alongside Tekmetric?
Yes — that's how most shops use it. Keep Tekmetric for day-to-day repair orders and run ShopDocs for training, SOPs, and daily ops coaching. The two don't overlap, so there's nothing to migrate or reconcile.
Why is ShopDocs cheaper?
ShopDocs is a much smaller piece of software solving a narrower problem. Tekmetric is a full shop-management system with repair orders, payment processing, and parts integrations — that scope is why it costs more. ShopDocs at $79/mo only handles SOPs, coaching, and KPI tracking.
Does ShopDocs pull data from Tekmetric automatically?
No — it doesn't connect to Tekmetric or any other shop-management system. You enter your daily numbers directly in ShopDocs, which takes under two minutes a day. Nothing in Tekmetric changes.
