What is Marlin Workshop Software by Megabus?

Marlin is a comprehensive cloud-based tyre and mechanical workshop software designed for automotive aftermarket businesses. Marlin combines workshop planning, point-of-sale, accounting, stock control, and e-commerce in one integrated platform. It's built specifically for tyre retailers, mechanical workshops, and multi-site operations across Australia and the APAC region.

Does it have a rego checker feature?

Yes, Marlin includes rego checker integration that performs licence plate to VIN lookup, providing vehicle identification, specifications, and service history. This feature helps you check car model by rego, find car model by rego, and search by car registration, designed to reduce data entry errors and speed up customer check-ins.

What's included in Marlin that other workshop software charge extra for?

Marlin includes integrated accounting, BAS reporting, payroll (Marlin HR with STP-2 compliance), e-commerce platform, and the complete Megabus product suite—all as standard. Many competitors charge separately for these features through per-user pricing, separate accounting software subscriptions (like Xero or MYOB), additional payroll systems, or module upgrades to unlock advanced functionality. Marlin's all-in-one approach means you get everything you need without hidden costs or tier restrictions.

Is payroll functionality included?

Yes, Marlin HR is a comprehensive payroll module that handles STP-2 reporting (ATO accredited), multiple pay cycles (weekly, fortnightly, monthly), leave accruals, PAYG summaries, superannuation, and compliance reporting. Marlin HR generates banking files in ABA format for electronic pay distribution and Superstream files for super payments. This eliminates the need for separate payroll software.

Can it handle multi-site workshop management?

Yes, Marlin is specifically designed to support businesses from single independent workshops through to multi-site operators, complex franchises, and company-owned networks. The cloud-based platform handles inter-branch transfers and provides business management across all locations. Marlin's architecture is built to scale with your business growth on a single platform.

What makes Marlin different from other workshop management systems?

Marlin eliminates the need for multiple software subscriptions by combining workshop management, point-of-sale, accounting, payroll, and e-commerce in one integrated platform. Unlike competitors that charge separately for accounting software, payroll systems, or require tier upgrades for multi-site functionality, Marlin includes everything as standard. The platform is built specifically for Australian businesses with BAS reporting, STP-2 compliant payroll, and extensive local supplier integrations. You get enterprise-level features without the complexity or cost of separate systems.
