Verity for repair services

Every device on your bench has a story. Verity keeps it from getting lost.

A repair shop lives on trust: the right device back to the right person, fixed properly, on the day you said. Job slips, spare parts, technicians and promises sit in notebooks and phone chats. Verity gives every job one record from drop-off to delivery.

Verity in one line

One system that follows each device from the moment it arrives to the moment it leaves, and shows which jobs are late, which parts are missing and which customers are waiting.

Free: we set up a working demo of your own business, on your own data, within 7 days. You pay only if your team decides to use it.

Built for a small counter with no time for data entry. The records come from the job slip you already write.

How it runs today

Most repair shops fix well and track badly.

A device arrives with a story: it fell, it got wet, it stopped last week. The details go on a paper slip or a message. By the time the technician opens it, some of that is already lost.

Parts come from several suppliers, and genuine ones are costly and slow. A job waits on a part nobody remembers ordering, and the customer keeps calling.

The technician knows the history. The counter knows the customer. When either is away, the other cannot answer a simple question.

What most repair shops run on

  • Paper job slips
  • WhatsApp with customers and suppliers
  • Excel parts list
  • Billing software or a bill book
  • Technicians' own notes

Each piece answers one question. None of them tells you which job is late, which part is missing or which customer is about to call again.

14 problems, one by one

Where a repair shop loses time, money and trust.

These are the situations repair shop owners describe. For each one: what it looks like, what it costs, and what Verity does about it.

  1. 01Intake

    Job intake details get lost

    What it looks like

    A phone arrives with a cracked screen and a dead battery. The slip says "mobile, not working". At pickup the customer says the back glass was not scratched when it came in.

    What it costs you

    Arguments you cannot settle, free repairs to avoid a bad review and a technician who guessed the fault.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each job records the device, serial number, fault, accessories, a photo of its condition and the customer's signature or approval. Everyone sees the same intake record.

    See the screen
  2. 02Customers

    Customers call to ask "is it ready?"

    What it looks like

    The phone rings every hour. Someone walks to the bench, finds the slip and calls back.

    What it costs you

    Counter time and technician interruptions, all to repeat a status the system could show.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each job shows its stage and promised date. The counter answers from the record, and jobs due today are listed first.

    See the screen
  3. 03Money

    Estimates change after approval

    What it looks like

    The customer approves a ₹1,800 screen replacement over the phone. The technician finds a second fault. The final bill is ₹3,200 and the customer says nobody told them.

    What it costs you

    Disputes at pickup, discounts to calm things down and a customer who does not come back.

    How Verity fixes it

    Estimates are recorded with the approval time and who gave it. A change in cost needs a new approval, and the record shows the original and the revised amount.

    See the screen
  4. 04Parts

    Spare parts are slow, costly and hard to trust

    What it looks like

    Genuine screens and boards are expensive, the supplier is out of stock and a cheaper copy is on offer. The customer is waiting.

    What it costs you

    A Toxics Link study of repair shops in five cities in 2026 found genuine parts costly and hard for small shops to source. An original iPhone 12 Pro screen was reported at around ₹35,000 against ₹8,000 for a first copy, which makes every part choice a margin and trust decision.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each part has its supplier, cost, grade (genuine, compatible, salvaged) and lead time. A job waiting for a part shows the supplier and expected date, and the customer's choice of grade is recorded.

    See the screen
  5. 05Parts

    Parts stock is guessed and leftover parts go missing

    What it looks like

    Common parts are kept in drawers. Some are ordered twice, some run out, and salvaged parts sit unlabelled.

    What it costs you

    Cash tied up in parts that do not move, repeat trips to the market and jobs delayed for a common part.

    How Verity fixes it

    Parts are stock with a reorder point and use recorded against each job. Salvaged parts are recorded with their source device so they can be found and valued.

    See the screen
  6. 06Technicians

    Technician work is not shared evenly

    What it looks like

    One technician is overloaded with phones. Another waits for appliance jobs. Complex jobs go to whoever is free, not whoever is best at them.

    What it costs you

    Slow turnaround, rework and an uneven pay for the same hours. The same study found that diagnostic tools are limited and training is mostly informal, so skill is uneven.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each technician has skills and a workload. Jobs are assigned by skill, and rework is recorded against the job so quality is visible per technician.

    See the screen
  7. 07Turnaround

    Old jobs sit and nobody owns them

    What it looks like

    A television has been on the shelf for 19 days, waiting for a part, then for a call, then for nobody in particular.

    What it costs you

    Customers who give up, bad reviews and shelf space blocked by jobs that are stuck.

    How Verity fixes it

    Verity lists jobs by age and stage with an owner. Anything older than a limit you set is escalated to the manager with the reason it is waiting.

    See the screen
  8. 08Warranty

    Repeat repairs and warranty claims on your own work

    What it looks like

    A customer returns after three weeks with the same fault. You offer a free repair but cannot tell whether it is the same fault, the same part or a new problem.

    What it costs you

    Free work that is never counted, a technician who is never told and a part supplier who is never challenged.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each repair has a warranty period and links to the part used, the technician and the supplier. A returning device shows its history, and the cause is recorded.

    See the screen
  9. 09Money

    Brand warranty jobs are slow to be paid

    What it looks like

    As an authorised service partner you repair devices under brand warranty. The brand asks for photos and forms, and rejects some claims for incomplete documents.

    What it costs you

    Work done without payment, and claims rejected for missing proof. In one reported dispute the brand called a failure "external damage" based on photos shared over WhatsApp.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each warranty job carries the proof the brand asks for, such as photos, serial number and dates. Verity lists claims pending, rejected and paid by brand.

    See the screen
  10. 10Customers

    Devices are left uncollected

    What it looks like

    Thirty devices on the shelf have been repaired and not collected. Some belong to customers who cannot be reached.

    What it costs you

    Storage space, liability for items you hold and money locked in the bill.

    How Verity fixes it

    Jobs ready for collection are listed by days waiting. Verity creates a call task at set intervals and records the outcome, and the policy on unclaimed items is shown on the slip.

    See the screen
  11. 11Money

    Pricing depends on who is at the counter

    What it looks like

    The same repair is quoted at ₹900 by one person and ₹1,200 by another. Discounts are given by anyone.

    What it costs you

    Inconsistent margins and customers who compare notes. Small shops also face thin margins because of price undercutting.

    How Verity fixes it

    A price list for common repairs sits in the system. A quote below a floor needs approval, and discounts are recorded with a reason.

    See the screen
  12. 12Customers

    Repeat customers and service contracts are not followed up

    What it looks like

    An office has an annual maintenance contract for fifteen computers. The renewal date passes, and a competitor gets the contract.

    What it costs you

    The most reliable income in the shop is lost for lack of a reminder.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each contract is a record with devices, visit dates and renewal. Verity creates visit tasks and lists renewals coming up.

    See the screen
  13. 13Compliance

    Customer data on devices is a risk

    What it looks like

    Phones and laptops hold photos, messages and bank apps. A technician copies data to test or keeps a password on a slip.

    What it costs you

    A complaint, a legal problem or a lost customer. India's data protection rules were notified in November 2025, with most duties applying over the next 12 to 18 months.

    How Verity fixes it

    Intake records whether data was backed up, whether a password was shared and who had access. Passwords are not written on slips, and access to records is by role.

    See the screen
  14. 14Owner

    Several counters, no common view

    What it looks like

    The main shop, a collection point and a mall kiosk each keep their own slips. A device moved between them is hard to trace.

    What it costs you

    Lost devices, unclear responsibility and no way to compare branches.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each counter is a location in one system. Transfers between them are recorded with who sent and who received, and jobs, parts and turnaround are comparable.

    See the screen

The numbers behind it

The numbers that make these problems worth fixing.

From published sources, with the source named under each figure. Your own numbers will differ, and showing you yours is the first thing Verity does.

  • 5 cities

    Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Nagpur and Ranchi were covered by the 2026 Toxics Link study of electronics repair, which found genuine parts costly and hard for small shops to source and most small shops short of advanced diagnostic tools.

    The News Minute, 2026

  • ₹35,000 and ₹8,000

    the reported price of an original iPhone 12 Pro screen and a first-copy alternative, showing how wide the choice between genuine and copy parts can be.

  • ₹70,200 and ₹40,000

    the refund and compensation ordered by the Ernakulam District Commission in a 2024 case against a manufacturer and its dealer, relying on a precedent that spare parts must be available beyond the warranty period.

An ordinary day

The same Saturday, before and after.

The bench works the same way. What changes is that each job leaves a record that answers the question before it is asked.

Bring these on day one

  • Your job slip format and a week of slips
  • Your repair price list
  • Your parts list with suppliers
  • Your technician list with their strengths
  • Your brand warranty procedures if you have them

Your time

About 6 to 9 hours of owner time across the four weeks, mostly in week 1. Your counter lead and lead technician need a few more.

After go-live

Nobody is hired to run Verity. Jobs, parts and promises are recorded as part of the work you already do, and the reports come from those records.

Verity AI

Ask your repair shop a question.

Verity AI reads your jobs, parts, technicians and warranty records. Ask in plain language, then turn the answer into tasks for the right person.

  • Your records only Answers come from your own repair shops data, not from generic knowledge.
  • Right person, right view It only shows what the person asking is allowed to see.
  • Turns into action An answer can become a task assigned to a named person.

Verity / Ask

Which jobs have been waiting more than a week, and why?

Nine jobs. Five wait for parts and four for customer approval.

  • Waiting for parts5

Rules and paperwork

The rules a repair shop has to keep up with.

Verity does not give legal or tax advice and does not file anything for you. It keeps the records these rules depend on in order, so you are not hunting for them when a customer, a brand or an officer asks.

  • Spare parts and consumer complaints

    What is expected

    In 2024 the Ernakulam District Commission held a manufacturer and its dealer liable in a case that relied on the principle that spare parts must be available beyond the warranty period. The principle matters when customers complain about delays and refusals.

    How Verity helps

    Each job records the part requested, the supplier's answer and the dates, so you can show what was done and when.

    LiveLaw

  • Right to Repair information

    What is expected

    The consumer affairs ministry launched a Right to Repair portal in December 2022 for manuals and repair information for phones, electronics, durables and vehicles. Availability depends on the brand.

    How Verity helps

    Where a brand shares manuals or part information, you can record it on the job and the part.

    Outlook Business

  • Customer data on devices

    What is expected

    Devices hold personal data. India's data protection rules were notified in November 2025, and most duties start to apply over the following 12 to 18 months.

    How Verity helps

    Intake records whether data was backed up and who accessed the device, and access to customer records is by role.

    AZB Partners

  • Tax and disposal of replaced parts

    What is expected

    Repair services are taxed under GST, and disposal of replaced electronic parts can fall under waste rules. The rate and rules depend on the service and your registration.

    How Verity helps

    Parts and labour are separate lines on each job so your accountant starts from clean data.

Rules differ by product and state and they change. Confirm current requirements with your accountant and the relevant authority.

Who sees what

Everyone sees the same records, through their own window.

The counter should not see the owner's margins. A technician should not edit prices. Each role opens on what it needs.

  • Owner

    Where are jobs, parts and money stuck?

    Jobs by age and stage, parts spend, repeat repairs, brand claims, uncollected devices and counters compared.

  • Counter staff

    What do I tell this customer?

    Job stage and promised date, estimates to approve, devices ready and callbacks due.

  • Technician

    What is on my bench?

    My jobs, parts waiting, estimates to raise and jobs returned for rework.

  • Parts buyer

    What do I order?

    Parts below reorder, jobs waiting for parts, supplier rates and expected dates.

  • Accountant

    What came in and what is owed?

    Collections by mode, supplier dues, brand claims pending and the parts and labour split.

Straight answers

What changes, and what stays the same.

Keep using

  • Your billing software or bill book at the counter
  • Your parts suppliers and how you order
  • WhatsApp for talking to customers, sent by your team
  • Your accountant, who still prepares your returns

Verity does not

  • Take payments or run the billing counter
  • Diagnose faults or give technical advice
  • Send messages to customers on its own
  • File your returns or run your payroll

We bring your open jobs, customers, parts list and supplier details across from the slips, sheets and chats you use now, in stages, so the counter never stops.

  • Excel
  • Google Sheets
  • Legacy ERP
  • CRM
  • One operating environment

Questions

Questions repair shop owners ask.

Will my technicians really use it?

It only works if recording takes seconds, so we set it up around the slip they already fill. We train at the bench on real jobs and give each person something back: a clear list of their jobs and the parts they are waiting for.

Does it replace my billing software?

No. Billing stays where it is. Verity records the job, parts and promises behind the bill, and we agree during setup how the bill details reach Verity.

Can it handle brand warranty work?

Yes. Each warranty job carries the proof the brand asks for and the claim status. Verity tracks what is filed, pending and paid, but it does not file claims on brand portals.

Can it message customers when the job is ready?

Not by itself. Verity lists the jobs ready and assigns the call or message, and your team sends it and records the outcome.

I have a main shop and two collection points. Can I see all of it?

Yes. Each counter is a location in one system. Transfers are recorded and you can compare turnaround and jobs per counter.

Can it tell me which supplier's parts fail most?

Yes. Because each repair links to the part and supplier, repeat repairs are shown by supplier and part grade.

Who can see customer information?

Only the people you allow. Access is set by role, and every change is recorded with who made it and when.

How long before I see results?

The list of old jobs, jobs waiting for parts and uncollected devices need only your existing records, so they are the first things we aim to have working. Repeat repair and supplier trends need a few weeks of recorded jobs.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of counters and what you want set up. Message us and we will give you a clear number after a short conversation about how your shop runs.
