Automotive dealership and workshop · Pakistan
A dealership runs three businesses at once: selling vehicles, selling parts and selling labour. They share customers and stock but rarely share a system, so the profitability of a workshop job and the true cost of a traded-in vehicle are both guesses.
What usually goes wrong
What matters here
Chassis and registration held as an identity that carries ownership, service history and warranty status, so the record follows the vehicle rather than the customer file.
Estimate, approval, parts issued and hours booked on one card, so workshop margin is known when the job closes rather than at month end.
Parts stocked, reserved against open job cards and sold over the counter from the same position, so a part committed to a job is not sold twice.
Claimable work flagged on the job card as it is done and tracked through to recovery, so warranty is a receivable rather than an absorbed cost.

Tax and invoicing
Sales-tax-registered businesses report through FBR digital invoicing, built into the platform: invoices submit at the point they are raised and carry the FBR number and QR code on the printed document. How FBR invoicing works
