NOCTUX is the shop management app for engine machine shops and cylinder head rebuilders. Every part that comes through the door, with its photo, its job number and its status, in front of the whole team on phone and computer. It replaces the whiteboard, the notebook and the group chat. TRY IT FREE FOR 14 DAYS Download it, set up your shop and use it for 14 days, no credit card needed. You start with sample jobs to see how it works, and delete them whenever you're ready to add your own. If it works for you, subscribe right inside the app: one monthly plan per shop, up to 5 people, cancel anytime. EVERY PART, UNDER CONTROL Received, inspection, quote, in progress, waiting for parts, completed and delivered. At a glance you know what's in the shop, where each job stands and who's on it. BUILT FOR THE COUNTER AND THE BENCH • Check in a part in a minute, with a photo of how it came in: if there's ever a dispute, that's your proof. • Every job gets its number, the same one you write on the part with a marker. • Inspections, tasks and parts lists ready-made for cylinder heads, blocks, crankshafts, connecting rods, complete engines and injectors. • The date you promised the customer, with alerts for what's due today or already late. • Quotes approved by the customer before anyone starts on the part. • Parts to order from every job, grouped by supplier. TEXT THE CUSTOMER ON WHATSAPP When the part is ready, one tap opens WhatsApp with the message already written. No phone calls interrupting the work, and a written record of every notice. THE WHOLE TEAM SEES THE SAME THING • Everyone on their own phone and account, seeing the same jobs instantly. • Notifications when a job comes in or changes status. • Shop summary: what's still unpaid, what's stalled and which quotes have no answer. • Keeps working when the signal drops in the shop. • Questions? Chat with us right inside the app. YOUR SHOP, YOUR DATA Your data is encrypted in transit, stored on servers in Europe and backed up daily. Export everything to Excel whenever you want.
