Welcome to Pista
A quick tour of what Pista does and how to get your shop up and running on day one.
Set up your shop in 5 steps
Go from a fresh account to writing your first repair order in about fifteen minutes.
What Pista replaces
See how Pista consolidates your shop management system, parts portals, payment terminal, and messaging tools into one platform.
Setting up your shop profile
Add your shop name, logo, address, hours, and contact details so they appear correctly on estimates, invoices, and customer messages.
Inviting and managing staff and roles
Invite service writers, technicians, and managers, assign the right role and store access, and remove access when someone leaves.
Navigating the dashboard
Learn the Pista layout, what each section of the main navigation does, and the fastest ways to get where you need to go.
Creating your first repair order
Walk through building a complete repair order from customer and vehicle to jobs, parts, labor, and an estimate you can send for approval.
Connecting your stores (multi-location)
Add multiple locations, switch between them, share customers across stores, and report on each one separately or together.
Importing your customers and history
Bring your existing customers, vehicles, and service history into Pista so you start day one with a full database instead of a blank slate.
Getting the Pista mobile app
Install the Pista app on your team's phones so techs can run inspections, snap photos, and check the job board from the bay.
