Workshop and repairs are an important feature for charity retailers selling pre-loved furniture, electrical items and more. CharityStore’s workshop module gives you everything you need to truly enhance your customer service experience, whilst enabling you to manage your repair or alteration processes more efficiently, economically and in less time.

Within the EPoS software, charities can manage everything, from collections and deliveries, to booking in stock and managing Gift Aid. In conjunction with the workshop facility, repairs and up-cycle work can be logged, tracked, and record tasks such as PAT testing on electrical items, as well as notifying the customer when the item is ready to collect.
