Labor times and parts prices

You enter labor times, costs, and selling prices. Brinlo does not include a labor database, automatic parts pricing, or supplier ordering.

Appointments and customer updates

The calendar is for your shop to manage appointments connected to jobs. It is not online customer booking. Brinlo sends approval and pickup notifications, not appointment reminders.

Working with your accountant
