Workshop POS and Invoicing Software NZ: What an Integrated System Should Do
What NZ workshops should compare when looking for workshop POS and invoicing software, from job-to-invoice flow and GST records to payment status.
The term workshop POS can mean different things. Some workshops mean counter payment and EFTPOS; others mean the whole process of preparing an invoice, recording payment and updating customer history. Define the workflow before comparing software.
Connect job information to the invoice
The invoice should reflect the work completed and approved during the job. Re-typing labour and parts at the counter increases the chance of missed or duplicated lines.
Check NZ GST record support
IRD's current rules use the term taxable supply information. From 1 April 2023 the old mandatory tax-invoice terminology was replaced by more flexible record requirements, while the GST calculation itself did not change.
Compare payment handling
- Paid and unpaid invoice status.
- Part payments where required.
- Account-customer terms and statements if needed.
- Online payment or EFTPOS integrations where available.
- Clear reconciliation and audit history.
