MechanicDesk invoice automation for caravan & RV workshops

Caravan and RV workshops run on parts — awnings, water systems, 12V gear, chassis and appliance spares from a dozen different suppliers, each with their own invoice layout. If you manage it all in MechanicDesk, someone is still re-typing every one of those invoices by hand. Data Entry Pro is the automation layer built for exactly that: drop the supplier PDF in, and the AI enters the complete bill into your MechanicDesk account — every line item, price and GST, with the original PDF attached.

Frequently asked questions

Does Data Entry Pro work for caravan and RV workshops?

Yes. It works for any workshop that uses MechanicDesk, including caravan, RV, camper-trailer and motorhome repairers. The AI reads any supplier's PDF invoice — parts, appliances, 12V, chassis, water systems — and enters the bill into MechanicDesk automatically.

We buy from lots of different caravan parts suppliers. Is that a problem?

No — it's the point. Data Entry Pro is format-agnostic, so it reads every supplier's invoice regardless of layout. You don't set up templates or map fields per supplier.

Can it match invoices to purchase orders in MechanicDesk?

Yes. If you raised the PO in MechanicDesk, it finds the matching order, receipts the delivered items and creates a back order for anything not yet shipped — handy when appliance orders split-deliver.

How much time will it save our workshop?

Workshops processing 150+ supplier invoices a month typically get 10+ hours back. You review instead of type.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 7 days and 10 invoices, no credit card required. Enough to run a real week of your supplier invoices through it.
