Frequently Asked Questions
Is iShopMaster a RepairDesk alternative?
Yes. iShopMaster covers the same repair, inventory and POS core, and adds a built-in double-entry accounting engine and multi-currency finance, so you don’t need to run QuickBooks or Xero alongside it.
Does RepairDesk include accounting?
RepairDesk has invoicing and basic financial reporting, but full bookkeeping is handled through its QuickBooks/Xero integration rather than a native double-entry ledger. iShopMaster includes the ledger itself.
Where is RepairDesk stronger?
RepairDesk has a more mature ecosystem — a technician mobile app, 40+ integrations, and a large established customer base. iShopMaster’s mobile app is on the roadmap.
