We are thrilled to announce that Pitstop is no longer exclusive to proprietary terminals. Starting today, workshop owners can download the full power of Pitstop directly from the Google Play Store on almost any Android device. This launch marks a major shift in our strategy: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). You no longer need to incur additional hardware cost or wait for a specific terminal to arrive to start digitising your car wash or workshop.

The Evolution: From Pitstop-Hardware to Android-Everywhere

Previously, to use our software, you needed a Pitstop-issued terminal to download our app. While these terminals are powerful, we know that flexibility is key for a modern workshop.

Now, the choice is yours:

• Have a spare Samsung tablet? Turn it into a service advisor station
• Want your staff to issue invoices on the go? Just download the app.
• Need a backup POS during peak hours? Pick any Android device and log in.

What’s Inside: Full Features with Minimal Compromise

The app on the Google Play Store is the full Pitstop engine. You get the same robust features that power hundreds of car washes and workshops across Malaysia with just a few exceptions:

• Full POS capabilities
• LHDN e-Invoice Integration
• Commission & Attendance System
• CRM & Loyalty
• Inventory Tracking
• DuitNow QR Integration
• CRM & Loyalty System
• Service Reminders

However, to enable credit card payment integrations, a certified hardware issued by Pitstop is still mandatory due to regulatory requirements.

What this means for Car Wash and Workshop owners?

This launch not only opens Pitstop to a much wider audience, it also provides our existing users more flexibility in how they run their operations:

1. Use Any Android Device - Your Android Phone or tablet or chromebooks can now be converted to a full-fledged POS. Download the app from Google Playstore, log in, and you are ready to manage invoices, track inventory, run loyalty programs without additional hardware costs.
2. Try Before You Commit - Curious about Pitstop but not ready to invest in new hardware? The Google Play Store version lets you experience the full software all before deciding whether dedicated hardware makes sense for your business.
3. Backup and Flexibility - Already running Pitstop on a Sunmi terminal? The Google Play Store version gives you a backup option. If your primary device needs servicing or charging, grab any Android phone and keep working. Your data syncs across devices, so you’ll never miss a beat—or an invoice.
4. Scale without Hardware Constraints - Opening a second location? Adding staff who need access? With Pitstop on Google Play, scaling is as simple as downloading an app. No waiting for hardware shipments, no setup appointments—just instant access on whatever Android devices you have available.
5. Need more POS during peak hours - Cars are lining up during peak hours? Utilise Google Playstore-powered Pitstop app through any Android device to ensure faster collections.
6. Suitable for mobile or smaller car washes and workshops — operators who work on-site and need a portable solution that primarily use QR payments and digital invoicing

QR Payments: Fully Integrated, Fully Available

While credit card payments would still require a Pitstop-issued terminal. Our QR Payments integration works exactly the same way on the Google Play Store version. Accept DuitNow, Touch ’n Go eWallet, Boost, and other QR-based payments directly through the app. Transactions are recorded automatically, and your daily reports reflect every payment received.
