Outboards, sterndrives, electronics, chandlery — a marine workshop's parts bills come from everywhere, and every one of them has to land in MechanicDesk correctly. Typing them in by hand is slow, easy to fat-finger, and a poor use of a marine tech's time. Data Entry Pro reads each supplier PDF with AI and enters the full bill into your MechanicDesk account automatically, with the invoice attached for your records.

Back to the water — the paperwork's done.
Yes. Any workshop running MechanicDesk can use Data Entry Pro — marine, outboard, sterndrive, boat electronics and general boat repair included. The AI reads any marine supplier's PDF invoice and enters the bill into MechanicDesk for you.
No. The extraction is format-agnostic and needs no per-supplier setup. It reads outboard parts, chandlery, electronics and general suppliers the same way.
Yes — it matches the MechanicDesk PO, receipts what arrived, and raises a back order for the rest, which is common with marine parts on backorder from overseas.
Part numbers are read straight from the invoice, and you review before anything is entered — so the transposed-digit errors that creep into manual entry are caught up front.
