Running the shop floor, day by day

Managing a detailing shop is mostly one question asked over and over: does this fit today? Answering it needs three things the average calendar does not hold — how many bays you have, who is actually in, and how long the work in front of you really takes.

Bays and people are two different questions

The board can be read as columns of spaces or as columns of colleagues, and switching between the two changes nothing about the plan. A job carries both, because a bay without someone in it finishes no car.

A day holds a number of hours, and the board counts them

Available hours per day are derived from who is working, with time off subtracted rather than remembered. When a day fills up you get told, and it stays a message: you can still overload a day deliberately, because sometimes that is the right call and software should not pretend otherwise.

Work without a date stays where you can see it

Anything approved but not yet placed waits in one visible tray instead of in somebody's head. Dragging it onto a day is the whole booking step, and a job that nobody ever drags is a job you can see is not moving.

Handover is a condition, not a habit

The list to tick off before a car leaves has to be complete before the job will close. It is strict on purpose: the point of the last check is that it cannot be the one that gets skipped when the shop is busy.

Veelgestelde vragen

Can I plan on bays and on people?

Yes, and on both at once. You change which one you are looking at without changing the plan itself.

How does it handle work that runs over several days?

As one continuous block across those dates, including the days on which the car is only standing there curing. Those days count as occupied for that space.

Is the full workshop view included?

Planning and the agenda are in every plan. The extended workshop module, with bay management, occupancy and transport runs, is separate at 179 euro a month.

Can I record holidays and days off?

Yes, absence is part of the planning and is taken off the hours that day is shown to have.
