MOTODESK PRIVATE PILOT
Built with independent motorcycle & powersports shops

Know where every bike stands.

MotoDesk is front-counter software for independent motorcycle and powersports shops: estimates, work orders, scheduling, customer and bike service history, parts and labor tracking, and balances. It replaces the whiteboard, the notebook, and the "let me check and call you back."

The daily grind

The counter runs the shop. So why is the counter a whiteboard?

Independent shops don't lose money on the lift. They lose it at the counter - in the gaps between paper tickets, memory, and good intentions.

The whiteboard is the system

Every open job lives on a board or in a notebook - until someone erases the wrong line or the notebook walks off.

Bikes stall on $12 parts

A machine sits for two weeks because nobody tracked that one part was ordered, backordered, or never ordered at all.

"Is my bike ready?" calls

The phone rings all day with status questions, and every answer means stopping a tech to go look.

Estimates on napkins

Quotes get written fast, approved verbally, and argued about later because there's no record of what was promised.

Balances in your head

Who owes what, which ticket is paid, which one walked out - it's tracked in memory until it isn't.

History in one person's head

What was done to this bike last season, which parts, which jetting - it leaves the shop when a person does.

In the pilot today

What MotoDesk does right now

No roadmap promises - this is what pilot shops actually use.

Front counter

The floor at a glance

Open jobs, bikes waiting on parts, bikes ready for pickup, and open balances - one screen, current, visible to the whole counter.

Work orders

Estimate to ticket

Build the estimate, turn it into a work order, track labor and parts line items, and move the job through clear statuses.

Shop diary

The week, planned

Schedule jobs and appointments so Monday's chaos is a plan on Friday instead of a surprise.

Parts counter

Every part accounted for

Track what's on order, what's arrived, and what's installed - so no bike waits silently on a missing bolt.

Customers & bikes

History that stays

Every customer and every machine keeps its full service history in the shop, not in someone's memory.

Balances

Who owes what

Every open ticket shows its balance, so nothing leaves the floor unpaid and nothing gets double-chased.

On purpose

Deliberately not in the pilot - yet

We'd rather tell you exactly what's gated than have you find out the hard way. These stay locked until pilot shops prove the core workflows.

Payments: log-only

MotoDesk records balances and payments you take in the shop. It does not charge cards, take online payments, or touch your money.

Customer messaging: draft-only

Pickup and status reminders are prepared as drafts for your review. Nothing messages your customers by itself.

Supplier ordering

Parts are tracked from needed to installed. Orders with your suppliers still happen the way you do them today.

Free 6-8 week pilot

Run it alongside what you do today

No rip-and-replace. Your current system - paper, spreadsheets, or other software - stays the source of truth until you tell us otherwise.

  1. Tell us about your shop. One email: your shop, your city, and how you track work today. That's the whole application.
  2. We set it up for you. We build your shop's workspace and import your customers, bikes, and open jobs. You don't do data entry to start.
  3. Use it in parallel for 6-8 weeks. Run the front counter on MotoDesk next to your current process. Break it. Compare it.
  4. Give us about 15 minutes a week. A short feedback call or note on what worked and what didn't. Your feedback decides what gets built next.

Fair questions

FAQ

Is it really free?
Yes. The 6-8 week pilot costs nothing, we never ask for a card, and there's no obligation to continue. Pilot shops get the software, setup, and data imports free in exchange for honest weekly feedback.
Do I have to replace my current system?
No. MotoDesk runs alongside whatever you use today - paper, a whiteboard, spreadsheets, or other software. Your current process stays the source of truth for the whole pilot unless you decide to switch.
What happens to my shop's data?
It's your data. We use it only to run your pilot workspace - never sold, never shared, never used to train anything. If the pilot isn't a fit, we export your customers, bikes, and history and delete the workspace.
Does it take payments or message my customers?
No - deliberately. Payments are log-only (you record what you took, nothing is charged), customer reminders are drafts you approve, and supplier ordering stays the way you do it today. Those unlock later, only after the core workflows earn it.
Who is building this?
MotoDesk is built in Austin, Texas with independent motorcycle and powersports shops. The pilot exists so the product gets shaped by real counters, not guesses.
