Most shop software was built for the US market and treats Canada as an afterthought — wrong tax handling, no provincial plate lookup, and support teams that have never heard of HST. Sayyara was built for both markets from the start.

These are the things that matter for a Canadian shop that most US-built software gets wrong.
Canadian tax is not the same as US sales tax. Sayyara handles GST, HST, and province-specific PST rules correctly — so your invoices collect the right amount and your remittances aren't a guessing game.
License plate lookup works across all Canadian provinces — Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and the rest. Enter the plate, get the registered vehicle. Same as US plate lookup, province-aware.
Your business profile in Sayyara reflects how Canadian shops operate — GST/HST number, province of operation, and Canadian address formatting on invoices and estimates.
Our support team understands Canadian shop operations, not just US ones. Questions about how GST remittance shows up in QuickBooks, or how OMVIC requirements affect estimates — you can actually ask.

ShopMonkey's Canadian shops are paying $199 USD/month or more — that's $270+ CAD with exchange. Sayyara is $99 CAD. On a 5-year horizon, that's close to $10,000 in savings.
HST in Ontario is different from GST + PST in BC. Sayyara handles the provincial differences so your invoices are correct and your remittances aren't something your accountant has to fix.
An Ontario plate resolves differently than an Alberta plate. Sayyara handles both, so your service writers aren't running two lookups or calling CARCO to decode a plate.
When Sayyara pushes invoices to QuickBooks, Canadian HST maps to the right tax line — not a generic sales tax account that your accountant has to clean up at year-end.
Yes. Canadian shops are billed in CAD. There's no USD conversion surprise on your credit card statement.
Yes. Sayyara handles GST, HST, and provincial tax correctly per province. Ontario shops on HST are set up differently than BC shops on GST + PST — Sayyara handles both.
Yes. Our support team works with shops in both Canada and the US. Questions about provincial tax, OMVIC, or Canadian-specific workflows are things we can actually help with.
Yes. Quebec shops can use Sayyara. QST (Quebec Sales Tax) is handled alongside GST. The interface is in English — French language support is on the roadmap.
