La Proa Digital interviews Joan Amat, founder of TallerIA, about how the project started, the challenges facing the trade, and why digitalising repair shops has become urgent.

## 🎉 TallerIA featured in La Proa Digital

Today is a special day for the TallerIA team. **La Proa Digital**, a leading digital news outlet in the Girona region of Spain, has published an interview in which Joan Amat, founder of TallerIA, talks openly about how the project started, the challenges facing the trade, and why he believes digitalising auto repair shops has become urgent.

### "A shop that doesn't digitise will sooner or later lose competitiveness"

That sentence sums up the thinking behind TallerIA perfectly. In a trade as traditional as vehicle repair, where plenty of shops still run their work orders on pen and paper, Joan Amat represents a new generation of founders who see technology as a real opportunity for change.

Joan is a mechanic. He has worked in repair shops, knows the trade from the inside and has lived first-hand with the problems caused by a lack of digital tools: time lost hunting for paper estimates, mismanaged invoices, uncontrolled stock, and customers who never get clear information about the state of their vehicle.

TallerIA was born out of that frustration.

### Why TallerIA?

The idea is as simple as it is powerful: build management software designed specifically for auto repair shops, with AI built in, that any mechanic can use without technical knowledge.

TallerIA handles work orders, generates PDF estimates and invoices in seconds, tracks parts inventory with automatic alerts, manages the shop calendar and measures each technician's real productivity.

But what sets TallerIA apart from other products on the market is its **built-in artificial intelligence**: the AI assistant helps technicians handle routine tasks, answers common questions and automates processes that used to take minutes of manual work.

### A product built from inside the trade

That's exactly what makes TallerIA different: it wasn't created by a software company analysing a market from an office. It was created by someone who has been under the cars, who speaks the language of mechanics, and who understands what a small or mid-sized shop in Spain actually needs.

As Joan explains in the La Proa Digital interview: Spain's vehicle repair sector has more than **40,000 active shops**, and most of them don't use any management software at all. In digitalisation terms, the market is practically untouched.

### What's next

TallerIA is growing fast. Over the coming months it will add integration with **Verifactu** — Spain's new verifiable invoicing regime — ahead of it becoming mandatory, along with automated customer communications by email and WhatsApp, and new AI features to make running a shop even more efficient.
