In demo
“The customer was happy — and still disappeared.”
Months later they search for a garage online. Your service card stays in the car. One scan brings the next request back to you.
For garages · 2027 pilot places
Your garage stays in the car. Your customer stays with you.
PINNEX puts a service card with your name in every customer vehicle. One scan brings your customers straight back to you – with the right vehicle, its history and the actual request.
- No app for your customers
- No new workshop software
- PINNEX never handles customer payments
Garage beta in demo with synthetic data. We assign pilot places personally, starting in Lucerne and Zug.
Your challenge
Good work alone does not bring customers back.
These situations cost garages time and jobs every day.
In demo
“The phone rings in the middle of a job.”
Which car? What is wrong? Appointment, fault and callback requests arrive in writing with the vehicle and contact.
In demo
“Only the boss knows that.”
The vehicle record keeps history, documents and guidance in one place your team can find.
In demo · approval planned
“That is not what I ordered.”
Questions and answers stay with the job in writing. One-click approval for extra work is planned.
Partly in pilot
“What tyre pressure do I need?”
The data assistant can answer from this vehicle’s documents and cite a source. Its scope is limited during the pilot.
Partly in pilot
“The car was sold — and so was the customer.”
The card stays in the car. Its new owner can see which garage knows it and contact you.

The cycle
How your customer stays with you.
- 01
You hand over the card at the next service. It carries your name, but never the PIN.
- 02
Your customer opens the record with their 6-digit PIN in a browser, without an app.
- 03
When something comes up, they scan instead of searching online.
- 04
The request reaches you with the vehicle, history and contact.
- 05
You do the job and record it. The history grows with each visit.
- 06
When the car is sold, your garage stays in it for the next owner.
Every job makes the record more useful for your customer and your garage.

Data assistant
An assistant that knows only what belongs to the vehicle.
- Answers come from this vehicle’s documents and guidance and cite the source.
- Without a suitable source, it gives no answer instead of guessing.
- Informational only: no diagnosis, repair instructions, booking or payment without express confirmation.
- Your customer guidance can serve as a source.
- We set the assistant’s scope in the pilot offer. You can limit its use at any time.
- The language model runs at Infomaniak in Switzerland.
- You see your customers’ conversations only with their consent.
Looking ahead
PINNEX and PRORUM: keep regulars, win new customers.
PRORUM is a regional business directory. Together, they create a cycle: new customers find you through PRORUM; PINNEX helps you keep them.
From PRORUM to you
People nearby send a request with the vehicle and photos they choose to share. After the job, your work appears in the vehicle record.
From PINNEX to you
Vehicles linked to other businesses can find you when they need your speciality. Reviews after a documented job are planned.
The connection is planned and not active yet. Planned
