Bring repairs, parts, and follow-up into one working system.

Hitchaos is built for small repair shops that still run on paper, phone calls, shelves, and memory. Start with a real job and let the system form around the work.

Skip the pitch. Open the box.

No credit card. No onboarding calls. Start with the next repair.

Repair workspace

The work order stays alive

Status, notes, parts, estimate, tag and photos stay on the same repair.

Parts and stock

Inventory follows the job

Stock, missing parts and product records stay tied to actual repair work.

Assist in flow

Less typing. More signal.

Scanner flows, URL import and guided drafting reduce mess without becoming another app.

What changes here

The app keeps the thread together.

Most shop software asks you to stop and configure. Hitchaos starts in the job. The work order becomes the repair workspace, missing parts show up before they bury the day, and stock stays close to the bench.

Small shops lose time in the gaps between things.

Jobs stall in the gap

The repair lives in one place. The part request lives somewhere else. Pickup waits.

Ordering turns into guesswork

Something gets ordered twice, or not at all, because stock truth and shelf truth drift apart.

Follow-up disappears in the rush

Customer promises, bench notes and next actions fall into paper, texts or memory.

The app keeps the thread together.

The work order becomes the workspace

Status, notes, estimate, tag, photos and parts stay on the same repair.

Missing parts become a real queue

Blocked work is visible before it turns into another forgotten phone call.

Inventory and history stay attached

What moved, what was added, and what still blocks the job stays in one thread.

Not sure yet?

Ask HitchaOS about your shop, then see the real workflow.

The preview opens the operational HitchaOS surface with synthetic data and a read-only server-forced demo tenant. No fake dashboard, no public writes.

Guided preview questions

Where do ordered parts go?

Open a waiting-parts work order and see why the part request stays tied to the repair.

How does a repair move through the shop?

See the real repair state model from intake through active work and pickup.

How does inventory stay connected to repairs?

Trace a missing part back to stock so blocked work is visible.

The demo uses synthetic records and cannot change workspace data.

Ask your own assistant

Let your AI assistant pressure-test Hitchaos for your shop.

If you already use ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude, take the public Hitchaos brief there. Your own assistant may already know your business, tools, habits and pain points, so it can judge Hitchaos against your real day instead of a generic sales page.

What gets copied

A plain-language Hitchaos prompt with the core workflow and a single-file public brief first. No private data or internal docs.

If you already know my business context from this conversation, use it. If you do not already know my business context, say that briefly in one sentence and then continue anyway. Review this public Hitchaos knowledge map and tell me honestly whether it fits me.

Product context:
Hitchaos is a workflow system for small shops that need a public customer site, structured request intake, repair/work-order tracking, product and parts inventory, sales/rental requests, proforma invoices, manual payments and customer-visible notifications. CHAS is the assistant system inside Hitchaos: Context, History, Actions & Suggestions. Mechan.icu is the public ecosystem surface for directory discovery, workshop profiles, claims, tenant storefronts and storefront auth.

Response language rule:
- Reply in the same language I am already using with you in this conversation.
- Treat the live chat language with me as the primary language signal, not the website locale.
- If I am speaking French with you, answer in French. If I am speaking Ukrainian with you, answer in Ukrainian.
- Do not default to English unless I am already using English with you.

Public Hitchaos knowledge to use:
- Use the public Hitchaos knowledge if you can access the web.
- Start with the single-file brief first: https://www.hitchaos.com/llms-full.txt
- Focus on the real workflow: public intake, work orders, missing parts, inventory, invoices, manual payments, customer status, and CHAS assistant support.
- Judge fit against my actual shop instead of generic software talking points.
- Use https://www.hitchaos.com/llms.txt and https://www.hitchaos.com/knowledge/index.json only if you want more structure after the first read.
- If web fetching is unreliable, use the single-file brief and mark anything else as unverified.

Core product ideas:
- A customer-facing website can receive callback, repair, quote, sale and rental requests.
- Public requests are intake only: staff confirms customer, availability, price and next action before fulfillment.
- Work orders keep customer, machine, problem, status, notes, media, estimate and parts in one repair thread.
- Missing parts and inventory should stay connected to the work order so blocked jobs remain visible.
- Sale and rental requests should become editable proforma or invoice drafts after staff review, not automatic paid orders.
- Payments and refunds should be recorded against invoices, with manual payment methods supported before online payment providers.
- Customer notifications should send only on visible milestones, not every internal edit.
- CHAS assistance should draft and organize, but business writes stay human-confirmed.

Workflow areas to evaluate:
- Public website setup and service list
- Customer request inbox
- First real repair path and setup effort
- Repair/work-order lifecycle
- Parts, products, inventory and missing-part queues
- Sales, rentals, proformas, invoices and payments
- Customer dashboard and email notifications
- Staff onboarding and daily operations

If you have web access:
- Search for public Hitchaos, CHAS and Mechan.icu information instead of relying only on this pasted brief.
- Prioritize details that matter for my specific business type and ignore generic software-marketing points.
- If you cannot verify something publicly, mark it as unverified instead of assuming it is available.
- Do not treat filenames as the main user interface. Treat them as source material behind a plain-language product explanation.

Use what you already know about me if you have it. If you do not have that context yet, do not pretend. Ask me only what is needed to judge fit, such as:
- How customers find and contact the shop today
- Whether the first priority is repair intake, sales, rentals or mixed operations
- How work orders and parts are currently tracked
- Whether the shop needs a simple website first or accounting workflow first
- Which existing tools must stay in place

After that, tell me where Hitchaos would help, where it would be overkill, what I should test first, and what setup path would be practical for my business. If you had to make assumptions because my context was missing, label those assumptions clearly.

Owner entry

Start the shop with the next real repair.

Create the owner workspace first. The rest of the system grows from the actual work, not from a week of setup.
