Onboarding walkthrough
When you sign up, BengkelDay starts you on a 14-day PRO trial — every PRO feature is unlocked, no payment details needed. There's just one setup form between you and your dashboard.
Signing up
You can sign up with an email address or with a social account (Google or Facebook). Either way you land straight on the workshop setup form.
The setup form
Only two things are required:
- Business name — we pre-fill a suggestion from your account name; change it to your workshop's real name.
- Phone number — customers see this on invoices and on your online booking page. Social sign-in doesn't give us a phone number, so this is the one detail we have to ask for.
Everything else on the form is optional and can be added later in Settings → Organization:
- Business details — SSM registration number, address, city, state, postcode. These appear on printed invoices and quotations, so it's worth filling them in before you send your first document.
- LHDN e-Invoice details — TIN, SST registration number, and MSIC code. Skip this unless you already have them to hand; you can complete it in Settings → e-Invoice, where we also verify your TIN with LHDN before switching submissions on.
A complete address is required before you can submit e-Invoices to LHDN. If you skip it now, BengkelDay will tell you what's missing when you first try to submit.
The guided tour
After you save, you land on your Dashboard and a short tour introduces the main parts of the app — job cards, customers and vehicles, invoicing, and settings. You can skip or close it at any point, and it won't come back.
Your first job card
Your dashboard shows a Getting Started panel until you create your first job card. It walks through the core loop in four steps:
- Customer — add one real customer; name and phone number are enough.
- Vehicle — register their car (plate number, make, model).
- Job card — open a repair job for that vehicle with your first service items.
- Invoice — turn the job card into an invoice.
Use a real customer with a WhatsApp number. You'll be able to send them their invoice via WhatsApp at the end, which is the fastest way to see BengkelDay's value.
There's more detail in Add your first customer and vehicle and Create a job card.
