Best repair shop software UK: eight systems compared
Price in pounds, how the trial starts, where the data is held and what each system says it is for. Every fact taken from the vendor's own pages, with the source and the date it was checked. SlickCell makes one of the eight, and it is listed in its place alphabetically.
Looking for the best repair shop software UK shops can buy in 2026? This page compares eight systems that UK repair shops meet when they search: CellSmart, Orderry, RepairBook, RepairDesk, RepairKeeper, RepairShopr, SlickCell and XEPOS. SlickCell makes one of them, so every fact about the other seven comes from their own website, with the page it came from and the date we checked it. There are no scores or stars. Instead, each system is described by four things a shop can check for itself before it signs up: what the price is and in which currency, how the trial starts, where the data is held and what the vendor says the system is for. If you are choosing repair shop software for a phone, tablet, laptop or console repair shop, start with the table, then read the questions to ask any vendor.

What UK repair shops should compare
Six questions to put to any vendor, including us.
- Price in pounds with VAT stated
- A price in dollars moves with the exchange rate, and a price without VAT is not what leaves your account.
- The VAT margin scheme on used devices
- If you sell second-hand devices, ask whether the margin is worked out per unit from its own purchase cost.
- Devices tracked by IMEI or serial
- A phone is tracked by IMEI or serial; a laptop, console, tablet or smartwatch by its serial. Check that the system holds both without forcing one into the other.
- How the trial starts
- Can you start it yourself tonight, and does it need a card?
- Where the data is held
- Read the privacy policy, not the homepage.
- Getting your data out
- Ask what exports to CSV, from which screens.
1.What software do phone repair shops use?
Most counter repair shops run repair shop software that holds the repair ticket, the till and the stock together, tracked by IMEI or serial. Some run a general EPOS till and keep repairs in a separate job book or spreadsheet. The eight above are the systems UK shops meet first in search.
Where SlickCell fits
- Every device is its own record
- One phone is one unit with its own IMEI or serial, cost, condition, battery health, selling price, supplier and history. Quantity is counted from the units, never typed, so you see the exact profit on the exact phone you sold.
- The VAT margin scheme, per item
- Second-hand stock can be taxed on the margin between what you paid for that unit and what you sold it for, reported separately from standard-rated sales. Because every device carries its own purchase cost, the per-item record the margin scheme asks for is already there.
- Hosted in London, sealed per shop
- The database runs in London on every plan, encrypted in transit and at rest, with row-level security on every table, two-factor sign-in, database-enforced roles and an append-only audit trail.
- Every feature on every plan
- From £39 a month excluding VAT, in pounds, with a fourteen-day free trial you start yourself: no card and no sales call. No per-transaction fees, and you keep the card machine you already have.

Choosing repair shop software: what shops ask
The one that fits what you repair and sell. Compare the price in pounds with VAT stated, whether used devices are taxed per unit under the margin scheme, whether devices are tracked by IMEI or serial, how the trial starts and where the data is held. The table above sets those out for eight systems, each fact sourced.
Most run repair shop software that keeps the repair ticket, the till and the stock together, with devices tracked by IMEI or serial. Some use a general EPOS till and keep repairs in a job book or spreadsheet. The eight systems compared here are the ones UK shops meet first.
SlickCell is repair shop software and POS for shops that repair and sell electronics: phones, tablets, laptops, games consoles and smartwatches. It runs repair tickets, the till, invoices, stock tracked by IMEI or serial number, trade-ins, supplier ordering, staff rotas and reports in one web app, hosted in London.
Starter is £39 a month, Professional £59 and Supplier Pro £99, all excluding VAT, or ten times the monthly price for a year. Every feature is on every plan; plans differ by team size, locations, discount rules and support. Every plan starts with a fourteen-day free trial with no card.
No. You create the account, choose a plan and use every feature for 14 days without entering card details. You add a card only if you decide to stay.
Yes. Tax is a rule you configure, and margin is one of the rule types, scoped to used stock. Each device carries its own purchase cost, so the margin on every sale is worked out from that unit, and margin-taxed sales are reported separately from standard-rated ones.
Yes. Parts, accessories and devices import from CSV with a preview of exactly what will be written before anything is saved. Most shops finish open repairs on the old system and start new work in SlickCell from go-live.
