Why choose ZiiX

Built for independent workshops — not for dealer chains.

Most workshop systems in Scandinavia are built by global ERP groups for large car dealerships — or by parts suppliers who want you locked into their catalogue. ZiiX is different: a modern, supplier-neutral platform built specifically for the independent workshop in Scandinavia.

What other systems get wrong

If you have shopped around, you have likely met two kinds of systems. One is heavy enterprise DMSs built for large dealer chains with 200+ branches — complex, expensive, and shaped around dealer workflows rather than workshop reality. The other is free or cheap software from parts suppliers — it works on the surface, but the conflict of interest is obvious: they make money selling you their parts.

They often share the same problems: legacy Windows UI behind VPN, closed ecosystems, opaque pricing that requires a consultant visit, and a customer experience where self-service either does not exist or requires the customer to create an account. Many sit on 20-30 year-old codebases where "cloud" means "we put the old system behind an RDP connection".

ZiiX is built from the ground up in 2026 for the independent workshop owner who wants to run their shop properly without being locked to one vendor or committed to long implementation projects.

☁️

Cloud-first — no on-site install

You sign in from the browser in 5 minutes — on any device. No technician driving to the workshop, no local database to maintain, no Windows server behind a VPN. Updates happen automatically in the background, and your data lives securely in Scandinavia.

🤝

Supplier-neutral — we do not sell parts

We make money on the software, not on parts. That means we can integrate fully and equally with every parts supplier — AD Danmark is the active integration, others are on the roadmap. You pick your supplier on price and quality, not because the software locked you in.

💸

Transparent pricing — flat per shop, no setup fee

You see the price before you contact us. No "call sales for a quote", no six-figure implementation invoices, no long lock-in. Self-service onboarding in under an hour and no sales person who needs to come do an analysis first.

📱

Customers help themselves — passwordless portal with MobilePay

Many systems advertise a "customer portal" — but require the customer to create an account with a password. Our customers sign in with their email address (magic link + 6-digit code), see every document, download PDFs and pay outstanding invoices via MobilePay directly in the portal. No phone, no mailbox, no chasing.

Visual automation — 31 events, no code

Drag-and-drop flows that react to 31 different events in the system — from "quote converted to order" to "customer opened payment page but did not complete". Add if/else conditions, send SMS or email with dynamic variables, or fire a webhook to an external system. No code, no consultant.

📒

Bring your own accounting system

Several legacy DMS systems ship their own built-in bookkeeping — or are hard-wired to one specific accounting platform. That locks you in. ZiiX has no built-in accounting and syncs instead with E-conomic and Dinero (more coming). You keep the accountant and the system you already have — without double entry.

📝

Digital worksheets with photo evidence — included, not an add-on

Checklists, photos of the vehicle, mechanic signature and time clock — all part of the system from day one. At many competitors digital worksheets are a separate module with a monthly add-on price, and photo documentation is a further extra on top of that.

🌍

Four languages from day one — built for Scandinavia

The entire system is native in Danish, English, Swedish and Norwegian — including the customer portal and communications. Run your workshop across the Nordics without waiting for "international version Q3 next year". DMR lookups, MobilePay, E-conomic — all native, not retrofit.

FAQ

Can you migrate data from my current system?+
Yes. We have migrated customers off the most common legacy systems in Scandinavia. Customers, vehicles, sales history and tire storage typically move over in 1-3 days. Best if you can export CSV — otherwise we do a database migration for a one-off fee.
How long is onboarding?+
For a single workshop: under an hour from account creation to first sale. For multiple shops or a migration: usually 1-2 weeks. Compare to competitors with 3-6 month implementation projects.
What does it cost?+
Flat price per shop per month — visible on the pricing page without contacting sales. No setup fee, no lock-in, no price hike when you add a user.
Are you as stable as the established systems?+
We are audited against OWASP Top 10, run automatic vulnerability scans on every pull request, and hold 99.9%+ uptime. Data lives in the EU. Two-factor auth, role-based access control and audit logs are standard, not add-ons.
What if you shut down?+
You always own your data. We offer full export (CSV/JSON) at any time, and the code is built on open standards — no proprietary file formats. If you move to a competitor one day, that move happens without lock-in from our side.
What about my existing E-conomic accounting integration?+
Native integration — customers, products and invoices sync automatically at every step. Quotes become draft quotes, orders become orders, invoices are booked straight away. No manual double entry.
