Multi-location shop software: run several repair shops from one account

How to run a chain of repair shops from one account: data separated per location, centralised control, and invoicing that meets Spain's Verifactu requirements.

When a repair shop grows, there comes a point where it isn't a shop any more: it's two, three, or a whole network of branches. And what worked for a single site — a notebook, a spreadsheet, a program installed on the front-desk computer — turns into a liability. Phone calls to find out what stock the other unit has, invoices numbered by hand, an owner with no idea how the month is going at each site until the quarter closes.

Multi-location management exists precisely for this: running several repair shops from a single account, with each site operating independently but under common oversight. In this article we explain what it is, which problems it solves and how it works in TallerIA.

What multi-location management means

Multi-location management is the ability to run more than one shop from a single account, keeping each branch's information separate while giving the owner visibility and control across all of them.

The core idea is simple: above the shop sits the organisation (your company or your group of shops). Your individual sites live inside that organisation. You, as the owner, log in once and move between them; each technician works in their own shop without seeing what doesn't concern them.

The problem with running several shops without a unified system

Anyone running a chain of shops knows these pain points by heart:

• Scattered information. Every shop keeps its data in its own place: a different program, a spreadsheet per unit, paperwork at each front desk. Finding out how many work orders are open in total means asking site by site.
• Uncoordinated invoicing. Each branch numbers its invoices however it can, and staying legally compliant (with Spain's Verifactu rules, for instance) in several places at once becomes a headache.
• No overall picture. The owner has no clear view of how each shop is doing — revenue, outstanding work, productivity. Decisions get made blind, or weeks late.
• Manual onboarding and permissions. Adding a new technician, controlling who can see what — all done by hand, and differently at every site.

The result is lost time, mistakes, and growth that gets harder the bigger you get. The exact opposite of what should happen.

How multi-location works in TallerIA

TallerIA solves this with a structure built to grow without friction.

One account, all your branches

The organisation owner logs in with a single account and sees every shop. Switching between sites is one click: pick the branch and the system shows you its data. No logging out, no juggling passwords, no jumping between programs.

Independent data per shop

Here's the key part: each shop is independent. Its customers, vehicles, work orders, inventory and invoices belong to it and to it alone. One branch's information never mixes with another's. A technician at one site sees their site; the owner, on the other hand, can go into any of them.

This avoids the usual chaos of throwing every shop into one bucket, while still giving you the control you need as the owner.

Invoicing and Verifactu per shop

Each shop can run its own invoice numbering and its own tax details, compliant with Verifactu — the Spanish tax authority's regulation on verifiable invoicing software. That way each site invoices in an orderly, legal way without stepping on anyone else's numbering. It's the difference between clean per-branch accounting and a mess that blows up at your next tax review.

Straightforward technician onboarding

Each shop has its own join code. Technicians join a site by entering that code, and the manager decides what permissions each one gets. Adding someone new stops being an administrative chore and becomes a one-minute job.

Benefits of centralising your shop network

• Less time on admin. One tool for everything, instead of hopping between systems and sites.
• Real control of the business. You know how each shop is doing whenever you want, not when the quarter closes.
• Painless growth. Opening a new branch means adding a shop to your account, not building a system from scratch.
• Orderly compliance. Invoicing and Verifactu handled properly at every site.
• Secure, separated data. Each shop's information protected, with no cross-contamination.

Who the multi-location plan is for

Multi-location is part of TallerIA's Enterprise plan, designed for anyone running a chain of shops, needing custom integrations, or managing several sites under one brand. If you run more than one shop — or you're about to open your second — this is how to do it without management eating your growth.

If you still have a single shop, the Starter, Pro and Premium plans cover everything you need, and the day you open a second unit, moving up to multi-location is immediate.
