MDMS vs AM-Win — Cloud Dealer Platform or Windows Workshop Software?
AM-Win is Australian family-owned workshop software with real longevity — thousands of users across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, industry packages for mower and outdoor power, marine, motorcycle and truck workshops, and built-in accounting at a cost-effective price. Whether it's the right system depends on whether you're running a workshop or a dealership.
Where AM-Win fits well
AM-Win has earned its base. It's Australian and family-owned, has served workshops for decades, and its industry packages speak the language of mower, marine, motorcycle and truck businesses. Accounting is built in, and its price point suits very small workshops that need job cards, parts and invoicing without a platform's overhead. If that describes your business, AM-Win's longevity and cost-effectiveness are genuine advantages.
Cloud vs Windows desktop
AM-Win is Windows desktop software. MDMS is cloud-native: it runs in the browser on any device — the workshop PC, a tablet at the counter, a phone in the ute — with nothing to install, back up or upgrade. Every branch and every user is always on the same version, and your data lives in the cloud rather than on a machine in the back office.
Workshop DNA vs dealership lifecycle
AM-Win grew from workshop management, and that remains its centre of gravity, though it also offers sales and hire modules. MDMS covers the workshop too — work orders, scheduling, parts and warehouse — and is built around the full dealership lifecycle: CPQ quoting and a sales pipeline, build orders and commissioning for new units, OEM warranty recovery with recall pattern detection, and a customer portal where clients see their invoices and service history without calling the front desk.
Field service in your pocket
AM-Win offers Am-At-Work companion mobile apps for recording time, parts and photos on jobs, connecting back to the server in your office. The MDMS field-service app is cloud-native and offline-capable: there's no office server behind it, and a mechanic at a property or boat ramp with no signal keeps working — hours, parts and photos all sync the moment coverage returns.
Try the difference on real jobs
MDMS publishes its pricing and offers a self-serve 14-day free trial, so a workshop weighing an upgrade can run real jobs through it before deciding. Built-in import tools bring across customers, parts, equipment, suppliers and open balances when you're ready to move.
Planning a switch from AM-Win?
You don't have to move everything at once. Many dealers start with a single MDMS module running alongside their current system, then migrate the rest when the team is ready. Our import tools cover customers, parts, equipment, suppliers and open balances.
