RepairForge

Built by a repair industry veteran

RepairForge was not built from theory.

RepairForge was created by Nathan Jobe after decades on the counter, at the bench, and in the back office - from microsoldering and board-level diagnostics to data recovery and running PixelNation. It was built from the pressure of running repairs, managing customers, tracking parts, and trying to keep a real shop moving.

Nathan Jobe

Founder, RepairForge · Owner, PixelNation

For more than 20 years, I've worked in the repair industry, from the front counter to advanced microsoldering, board-level diagnostics, and data recovery. Before launching PixelNation, I worked in multiple repair shops and experienced firsthand the operational challenges shop owners face every day.

RepairForge was born from that experience. After years of using software that only solved part of the problem, I set out to build the platform I always wished existed - one designed specifically for the way real repair shops operate.

    Building RepairForge

Why RepairForge exists

After years of frustration with generic software that did not truly fit the repair industry, Nathan built RepairForge to unify tickets, point of sale, inventory, payments, customer updates, and automation in one modern workspace designed by someone who has lived every part of the job.

Outdated interfaces that slow your team down

Disconnected tools that create duplicate work

Limited automation and reporting

Support teams that do not understand repair shops

Software that evolves too slowly

Our mission

Our mission is simple: give independent repair shops the tools they need to operate smarter, serve customers better, and compete with anyone.

Our vision

We're building more than software. We're building the operating system for the modern repair shop.

Whether you are a solo technician or a multi-location organization, RepairForge is designed to scale with you—from the first ticket to a larger, more disciplined operation.

Built for the real world of repair

Unlimited tickets on every plan

Modern point of sale and payment workflows

Inventory and parts ordering in one place

Customer portal with real-time updates

Automation that reduces repetitive work

Multi-location support for growing businesses

What drives us

Built from Real Experience

Every workflow reflects decades on the counter, at the bench, and in the back office—not assumptions from a generic software company.

Obsessed with Simplicity

Powerful tools should feel effortless. We cut clutter so your team spends less time fighting software and more time serving customers.

Driven by Customer Feedback

Shop owners shape our roadmap. We listen, ship improvements quickly, and refine features based on how real businesses actually operate.

Committed to Independent Repair Shops

We build for independents who compete on skill, speed, and service—not chains with enterprise budgets and generic tooling.

Stop settling for software that wasn't built for your business

You work too hard to run your shop on tools that don't understand the realities of repair. RepairForge was built from two decades of real-world experience to help you streamline operations, serve customers better, and grow with confidence.

Every day you wait is another day spent fighting software instead of building your business.

We did not build RepairForge to be another software option. We built it because independent repair shops deserve tools as serious as the work they do every day.
