Honest comparisons, not marketing.
Most shop-software pages tell you theirs is better at everything. These pages don’t. Pitlane writes the RO, runs the customer relationship, takes the payment, and ships AI through every surface. It still has fewer integrations than the incumbents, and parts ordering and OEM labor times are on the roadmap, not live. That’s the honest reason a few shops wait. Here’s when each tool wins.
