Shop Cloud

Shop Cloud: what links it all together

Shop Cloud is the cloud side of WPI Driveline Shop Management System: a private Supabase project that holds one shop’s shared records, logins and files and runs its server functions.

It’s also required for every outside service on this page except the built-in NHTSA data. Their keys are stored and used on your Shop Cloud server, and a signed-in shop device records what comes back: payments, approvals and check-ins. A device checks about every minute while it’s open.

Without Shop Cloud

One device works on its own. Repair orders, inspections on the counter tablet, the board, the tech clock, parts, reports and the vehicle data all work, and nothing is shared.

How Shop Cloud is set up and billed for your shop: ask in your demo request.

Outside services

What each one turns on

FAQ

Integration questions

Do I need all of them?

No. Each one is separate, so connect only what your shop will use. Repair orders, inspections, the board, parts and reports don’t need any of them.

Do outside services work without Shop Cloud?

No. Their keys live on your Shop Cloud server, and every call to them goes through your shop’s server functions. NHTSA vehicle data is the exception: it’s built in and needs no key.

Who do I pay for texting?

Twilio, directly. Texts and minutes are billed to your own Twilio account.

Can I use Square at the counter?

As a payment link on invoices and the customer report. The counter card readers are Stripe: the Stripe Reader S700 and the BBPOS WisePOS E.

Who can change keys?

The owner. Once a key is saved, the screen shows only that it’s set, its last four characters and when it changed. How keys are kept
