Auto repair shop software in Ecuador with SRI e-invoicing
For: Auto repair shops and automotive businesses in Ecuador · Updated October 25, 2026
Short answer
In Ecuador, shop software should issue the SRI electronic invoice from the same work order, with the shop's RUC and electronic signature, on top of orders, photo check-in, WhatsApp quotes, inventory and payments. That way you don't re-type data into another system to invoice.
SRI electronic invoicing
- You need your RUC and a valid electronic signature (.p12 file).
- You request the emission authorization in SRI en Línea (Facturación electrónica → Solicitud de emisión), first in test and then in production.
- The invoice is built from the jobs and parts in the order.
- The system signs it, sends it to the SRI, shows whether it was authorized and sends it to the customer with the PDF and XML.
What else a shop in Ecuador needs
- Photo check-in with the customer's signature.
- Quotes customers approve on WhatsApp.
