Know what every car is waiting for.

The jobs board

• Every car in preparation on one board, grouped by preparation status or by technician.
• Cars in prep, blocked jobs, overdue work and tasks nobody has taken yet, counted at the top.
• Mechanical, valet, bodywork, tyres, NCT preparation and photography tasks.
• Assign a task to a technician, with a due date.

When a job is blocked

• A technician blocks a task with a reason: waiting for a part, more damage found, needs approval, a bay or tool unavailable, or waiting on another task.
• The board says what each blocked job is waiting for, and for how long.
• A manager marks it unblocked when the cause is cleared.

Finishing the work

• A task that needs sign-off goes to a manager, who approves it or returns it for rework, saying what needs doing.
• Notes and before-and-after photos stay with the task.
• Time logged against each task, and work done outside the garage recorded against the car.

From buying to the workshop

The preparation work planned when a car was bought arrives in the workshop, and one button turns it into tasks.
