Question 1

What is AutoComply360?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 (AC360) is safety compliance software built specifically for automotive workshops in Australia and New Zealand. It replaces paper checklists with a digital system for hoist and equipment checks, hazard and chemical registers, incident reporting, and audit trails, so workshops can prove their WHS compliance across one site or many. It is purpose-built for the automotive trade and is not a general venue, finance, or vehicle-sales compliance product.

Question 2

Who is AutoComply360 for?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 is for anyone responsible for safety in an automotive workshop: independent workshop owners, multi-site operators, dealer groups, franchise networks, tyre and service chains, and collision (smash) repair businesses. It suits both the single-workshop owner and the enterprise safety manager who needs visibility and proof across a whole network of sites.

Question 3

How much does AutoComply360 cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is tailored to the size of your operation, based on how many sites and how much equipment you need to cover, so the fairest way to get a number is a short conversation about your setup. You can book a demo through the contact page or by calling the team directly.

Question 4

How does AutoComply360 work day to day?

Accepted Answer

Each piece of equipment or work area gets a QR code, usually on a safety poster or affixed directly to the asset. A team member scans it with their phone, works through the relevant safety check, adds a photo or note if something needs flagging, and the check is recorded automatically with a digital timestamp. A typical check takes about two to five minutes, and managers get an instant notification if an issue is found or a check is missed.

Question 5

Do my staff need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No app download is required. Staff scan a QR code and complete the check straight from their phone's browser, so there is nothing to install and the process is the same at every location. Because checks are completed online, each work area needs mobile reception or Wi-Fi to record a check.

Question 6

Can AutoComply360 manage multiple workshop sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A single dashboard shows the compliance status of every location at once, with a traffic-light view of which sites are on track and which need attention, so you can spot patterns, benchmark locations, and prove a consistent, systematic approach across the whole network.

Question 7

Which WHS regulations and standards does AutoComply360 cover?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 is built around Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations and the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards for automotive workshops, across the core areas a workshop manages such as plant, hazardous chemicals, electrical safety, ventilation, and housekeeping. The team can walk you through coverage for your operation during a demo.

Question 8

What equipment and safety checks does AutoComply360 handle?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 covers safety at multiple levels: equipment pre-start checks (such as vehicle hoists and other plant), bay-level work-area checks, whole-of-workshop periodic audits, and enterprise oversight across sites. It also maintains registers such as hazardous chemical and hazard registers, plus incident reporting, all captured digitally with photos and timestamps.

Question 9

How does AutoComply360 help with a WorkSafe audit or inspection?

Accepted Answer

Every check, photo, and corrective action is recorded with a timestamp and kept in one place, so instead of spending hours assembling paper before an audit you can show a complete, systematic compliance trail immediately. It is the difference between running a safe workshop and being able to demonstrate it when a WorkSafe inspector asks.

Question 10

How is AutoComply360 different from general safety apps like SafetyCulture?

Accepted Answer

General-purpose safety platforms are powerful, but they hand you a blank canvas: you build your own checklists, templates, and structure from scratch. AutoComply360 is purpose-built for automotive workshops, so the hoist and plant checks, chemical and hazard registers, and WHS structure are there out of the box, mapped to Australian and New Zealand standards. Less configuration, and a system designed by people who know workshops.

Question 11

Does AutoComply360 work in New Zealand as well as Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AutoComply360 is built for both Australian and New Zealand workshops, with the checks and standards structured for each market, whether you operate on one side of the Tasman or across both.

Question 12

Does AutoComply360 integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 is designed to run standalone, so you do not need to plug it into your other software to get value from day one, which keeps rollout simple for busy workshops. If your operation has particular requirements, raise them with the team so we can talk through what would suit your setup.

Question 13

Who is behind AutoComply360?

Accepted Answer

AutoComply360 was built by three founders: Andrew, who spent years servicing hoists across hundreds of workshops; Matt, who brings two decades of business strategy and digital transformation; and Dave, who brings twenty-plus years building enterprise technology in regulated industries. It is an Australian business built on the belief that professional safety should be visible and provable.

Question 14

Where can I learn more about workshop safety compliance?

Accepted Answer

The AutoComply360 blog covers the practical side of WHS compliance for Australian and New Zealand workshops, including hoist compliance obligations, what WorkSafe inspectors check, getting EV-ready, and the real cost of workshop safety incidents. You can browse it at https://www.autocomply360.com.au/blog.

Question 15

How do we get started with AutoComply360?

Accepted Answer

The first step is a short demo with someone who understands workshops: a conversation about how you run safety today and where the gaps are, not a hard sell. Book a demo through the contact page, or call or email the team directly.
