About Forest
Garage software that understands Land Rovers
Forest is a specialist garage management system originally developed to provide stock control and invoicing support for independent Land Rover dealers. Over the past 20+ years it has evolved into a powerful tool capable of managing more than 500 stock lines — with a unique ability to handle superseded part numbers and complex data structures.
Its core features are designed to support businesses working with national suppliers, ensuring efficient parts ordering for scheduled jobs — something generic garage management software simply cannot replicate.
Today, Forest is supported and maintained by Plan-IT, ensuring the software continues to evolve and meet the needs of its users across the UK.
