One Platform · Two Bays

Shop management, forged for diesel and auto.

Bay Forger is one shop-management platform tuned for the two verticals that actually work like each other: heavy-duty diesel fleets and independent auto repair shops. Pick your bay to get the tools built for it.

Built for Heavy-Duty Shops

Modern fleet maintenance, forged for diesel.

Work orders, driver inspections, parts inventory, and unit tracking — in one fast, no-nonsense platform. Built for the shops that keep America's trucks rolling.

Diesel Features

Every tool your diesel shop needs. None it doesn't.

From the first inspection to the final invoice, Bay Forger Diesel keeps your shop fast, paperless, and accountable.

Work Orders that close themselves.

Open a WO, assign multiple techs, log parts and labor — the system handles totals, time entries, and print-ready repair orders. No spreadsheets, no double entry.

  • Multi-tech assignment with separate labor entries
  • Repair Job cards: cause, correction, notes, parts, time
  • Print or email a clean work order in one click
  • Real-time autosave — never lose work

Photo inspections your customer approves from their phone.

Tech walks the truck, snaps photos of every defect, hits "Send to Customer" — the fleet manager gets an email link, sees the photos, taps Approve. Work starts with a paper trail and zero phone tag.

  • Phone-camera photo capture on every defect
  • One-click branded email with a public approval link
  • Customer approves or declines from any phone — no login
  • Approval timestamp + name locked into the audit trail
  • DOT §396.11 pre/post-trip templates included

PM schedules per unit. Per task. Per interval.

Every truck and trailer can have its own list of PM tasks — engine oil every 8k, transmission every 50k, DOT annual every 365 days. The system tracks each one against current mileage / engine hours / calendar, alerts you before they're due, and one-click creates a WO when it's time.

  • Multiple PM tasks per unit (miles, hours, or days)
  • Pre-built templates: Engine Oil, DOT Annual, Trans Service, more
  • Color-coded status: OK · Close · Due · Overdue
  • Completing a PM-tagged WO auto-resets the task

Per-Unit PM Tracking

DueUnit 19 — DOT Annual · 12 days
OKUnit 101 — Engine Oil · 5,200 mi to go
DoneUnit 76 — Trans Service · last week

Component-level tracking the big boys overlook.

Engines, transmissions, ECMs, differentials — each one is a first-class object with its own serial number and lifetime history. Swap an engine from Unit 19 into Unit 22 and the rebuild history follows the engine.

  • Track engines, trans, axles, ECMs, turbos, APUs by S/N
  • Lifetime service history follows the component across units
  • Transfer log with date, mileage, and reason
  • Per-component WO history — never re-warranty by mistake

Parts inventory that pays for itself.

Track every part by number, vendor, location, and stock on hand. Scan barcodes from your phone, log parts to a WO with one tap, and never overpay for an emergency part again.

  • Barcode scanning on iOS & Android
  • Auto-deduct on work-order use
  • Low-stock alerts, reorder thresholds
  • Vendor & cost history per part

About Bay Forger

Built by shop people, for shop people.

Bay Forger was built from the floor up by a mechanic who got tired of clipboards, spreadsheets, and software that costs more than it saves. Every feature is field-tested in a working shop before it ships.

We don't charge per technician. We don't lock your data behind a paywall. We do one thing — keep your shop running — and we do it fast, whether that shop turns wrenches on a Class 8 or a 2019 F-150.
