How a job runs

  1. Book it in

    The rego fills in the car, with its history if it has been in before.

  2. Approved by link

    Standard jobs at your labour rates and parts margin. The customer accepts on their phone.

  3. On the tools

    The job on the board, and the technician clocks on against it.

  4. Paid

    The invoice comes from the job, the customer pays by card, and it goes to Xero.

Your customer says yes from their phone

Send the estimate by link. The customer ticks the recommended work they want and accepts, and you can get on with it.

  • Recommended work. Optional lines the customer ticks themselves.
  • Extra work, mid-job. Found a split hose on the hoist? Send it by link and carry on when they say yes.
  • Nothing forgotten. What they say no to stays on the vehicle for next time.
