A simpler, smaller-shop RepairDesk alternative.
RepairDesk is a solid, full-featured system. If you're a one- to five-person shop paying for more than you use, Nomad Repairs covers the day-to-day for a lot less, and you can try it free next to what you have now.
First month of Pro free, no card. Then CA$39 a month (about US$28), or CA$25 for the first 10 shops. Or stay on Free: one person, up to 30 repairs a month.

When RepairDesk is the better fit
We'd rather you pick the right tool than switch twice. RepairDesk may suit you better if you run several locations, want to order parts straight from the MobileSentrix catalog inside your software, or have a larger team with workflows already built around it.
Nomad Repairs is for the shop where the owner is also the tech: check-in, labels, texts, quick sale and the cash drawer, without paying per store for features you don't use.
Switching takes an afternoon
Export your customers, stock and repairs from RepairDesk as spreadsheet files and bring them into Nomad Repairs. The columns are matched for you.
- Customers, stock and repair history come across
- You see everything before it's saved
- Run both side by side on the free plan until you're sure
Good to know
Can I bring my RepairDesk data over?
Yes. Import customers, stock and repair history from the files RepairDesk exports. If something doesn't line up, send us the file and we'll move it for you.
Is Nomad Repairs cheaper than RepairDesk?
For a single small shop, usually yes: Pro is CA$39 a month (about US$28) with unlimited staff logins, and the free plan covers one person and up to 30 repairs a month. Compare current prices on both sites before you decide.
Does Nomad Repairs handle more than one store?
Not yet. Each shop is one location. If you run several stores, RepairDesk may suit you better for now.
