If you’ve ever had a new hire shadow your most experienced team member for a week straight, only to still need your help processing an invoice or finding the right customer file, then this blog is for you. Let’s face it. Training new staff in a busy tyre and automotive business is tough. You’re juggling jobs, managing customer expectations and keeping the schedule from spiralling into chaos…and now you’ve also got to explain how your systems work (if you can even call them that). It’s not that your team isn’t capable-it’s that the tools they have are making it harder than it needs to be. Paper dockets, whiteboards, random spreadsheets and that one office computer from 2012? Not helping. Enter: COSTAR’s workshop and distribution centre software. This isn’t just a digital filing cabinet-it’s a complete, centralised system that actually helps you train faster, work smarter and reduce rookie mistakes from day one.
Say goodbye to bottlenecks
Most onboarding bottlenecks come down to two things: information overload and inconsistent processes. One staff member teaches it this way, someone else does it another way and your new hire ends up lost in the middle. COSTAR workshop software removes the guesswork. With intuitive workflows, guided job creation and clearly laid out dashboards, it becomes obvious what needs doing, when and how. Whether they’re handling bookings, quotes, invoices or ordering parts, everything is streamlined. No more double-handling. No more “go ask Dave how we normally do that.” And absolutely no more missing paperwork or half-filled job cards that leave you scrambling.
Designed for teams across locations
If you’re in wholesale and distribution, training staff across multiple branches brings another layer of complexity. COSTAR simplifies onboarding for warehouse teams by offering consistent, repeatable workflows, no matter the location. Whether you’re bringing on a new warehouse manager, storeperson or front counter team member, everyone works from the same system, with the same structure. That means fewer variations, less confusion and a smoother onboarding experience across the entire business.
Built for real workshops and wholesale centres, not IT pros
You shouldn’t need an IT degree to run your front desk. That’s why COSTAR’s workshop software is designed with a clean, user-friendly interface that makes sense to people with zero tech experience. Whether it’s their first day or fiftieth, staff can pick it up fast-and spend their energy learning the actual job, not the clunky software behind it. And because it’s all in one place, there’s no switching between platforms or flicking through a filing cabinet to find that customer history. It’s just there. Easy.
Real-time data = real-time confidence
When your team has access to real-time data, like order statuses, inventory levels, customer histories and daily scheduling, they’re not second-guessing every move. They’re confident, competent and able to give better service. That means fewer delays, less back-and-forth and a team that gets to work instead of waiting for someone else to unlock the information they need.
