Cary, N.C. – October 06, 2026 -- Klipboard has launched Autowork, a cloud-native, AI-native shop management platform built for independent aftermarket auto service centers.
Autowork consolidates core shop functions into a single system
The platform brings together appointments, repair orders, customers, vehicles, parts, inventory, tires and invoicing in one place, reducing reliance on multiple disconnected tools. Its natively built parts catalog includes tire lookup, quoting and fitted pricing, keeping fitment and pricing data in a single system rather than a separate application.
AI-assisted scheduling targets appointment efficiency
Autowork's AI-assisted scheduling feature identifies suitable appointment slots without manual review of the shop calendar. Klipboard says additional AI capabilities are planned for future releases.
Platform builds on Klipboard's enterprise tire and service network experience
Klipboard's existing enterprise platform, Autowork One, already powers some of North America's largest tire and service networks. Dean Petrone, CEO of Klipboard North America, said automotive businesses need technology that simplifies operations rather than adding complexity, and that Autowork applies the company's enterprise industry knowledge to the needs of a single shop.
Tire specialists gain dedicated lookup and supplier integration tools
For tire businesses, Autowork includes dedicated functionality for tire lookup, quoting, fitted pricing and supplier integration, allowing tire specialists to manage tire operations alongside broader service, maintenance and repair work.
Modular design allows businesses to add e-commerce and payments later
Autowork connects to Klipboard's broader suite of automotive solutions, enabling shops to adopt additional capabilities such as e-commerce and payments as their needs grow, rather than committing to a full feature set upfront.
Autowork is available now for independent, single-location automotive repair shops, service centers and tire businesses.
