Work board

Every car, its stage, its next step. On one board.

The board is the shop. Every car on the floor shows where it is, what happens next, who has it and the money on it. Check a car in by plate, build the jobs, and the board moves as the work does, from quote to paid.

Check in

Plate in, car on the board

Scan or type the plate and the exact vehicle decodes. Add the mileage, a photo and what the customer said, and the car is on the board with its customer attached. Thirty seconds, from the lot or the counter.

MileageSets what maintenance is due
Photos and notesFrom the phone, in the lot

One screen per car

The jobs, the parts, the hours, the bill

Each car has one page: every job with its labor and parts, who is on it, the time clocked against the hours billed, the inspection, the conversation, and the bill as it builds. Nothing lives in a second system.

Next step

The board tells you what to do

Every row shows the next action, not just a status: send the quote, order the parts, text the customer, collect. The board sorts by what needs you, so the shop runs from one glance.

Customer in the loop

Updates go out as the car moves

Checked in, quote ready, approved, ready for pickup. Each step can text the customer on its own, from your number, so nobody calls to ask where the car is.

03

Work and collect

Techs clock in from the phone. The bill builds itself. Ready means paid before pickup.

Questions

Is it a Kanban board or a list?

A list sorted by what needs you, with the stage on every row. Filter by stage, tech or bay.

Can techs see it?

Yes, on the phone app, scoped to their jobs if you want.

What about cars waiting on parts or approval?

They stay on the board with the reason in the next-step column. Nothing falls off.
