Zeyto Garage Pro is built for small garages, so most behaviour is decided by a few plain settings. Knowing the defaults lets you explain the system to a new owner in minutes. Most live in Settings, Workshop; the stock rule lives in Settings, Costing.

SettingDefaultWhat it does
Payment before hand-overPayment is not requiredA car can leave with a balance owing; the balance stays on the customer's account and the gate pass still prints. Switch it on to require payment
Lock after Work CompletedOnLines, extra work and materials cannot change until a manager reopens the job with a reason. An invoiced or delivered job is always locked
Warranty days30A car back within this many days of delivery is asked: Is this a comeback? Zero means never ask
When a sale is more than the stockAllow itAllow it, Allow it but warn, or Block it
Approval proofSignature in person, code by phone or WhatsApp, from 500 upHow sure you want to be that the customer really said yes
Daily backupOnA local backup each day
Daily owner reportOffSent at a chosen time by e-mail or WhatsApp once you switch it on

Menu and modules

The product inherits many modules from its parent business software. A garage does not need most of them, so Settings, Menu & modules switches them off in one place. Reverse charge, repairs with serial numbers, manufacturing, field sales, the point-of-sale till, fixed assets, cost centres, multiple branches, designers and advanced analysis are hidden by default. Payroll stays on because staff pay is a legal duty. Hiding removes menu entries, hub tiles and report lists; it deletes nothing and is not a security measure.

Explaining defaults to an ownerA customer owing 462.00 asks to collect his car before paying. With the default setting the car can leave, the 462.00 stays on his account, and it shows in the receivables report. If the owner wants cash first, he switches Payment is required on; the balance then stops the car unless the customer is on account within his credit terms or a manager overrides with a reason.
TipWork offline by design: daily work needs no internet. Internet is needed to activate the licence, download updates and send messages out, such as the daily owner report.
