Drag a job to the next stage and the whole team sees it — no whiteboards, no guesswork, no missed updates. It’s a simple way to streamline auto repair operations from the first stage to the last.

Know Exactly How Long Every Job Really Takes

Technicians start, pause and stop a job clock right from the Job Board card, the repair order, or the Time Clock page — on the web or the mobile app. Every minute is logged against the job it was spent on.

  • Start Job, Break and Stop on each card — the running time is visible to the whole shop
  • Each repair order shows its total time, the split per technician, and every session with its note
  • Several technicians on one job? Each one’s time is recorded separately
  • Compare actual time with the labour you billed and quote the next job with confidence

Let the Board Run the Clock for You

Technicians forget to press Start — so let the workflow do it. In Setup, choose what each stage does to the job clock: moving a job into In Progress starts the assigned technician’s clock, and moving it to Waiting On Parts, Need To Call or Complete stops it.

Mark any number of Start / Stop stages Works from web and mobile Turn the job clock off shop-wide anytime
Automatic Time Tracking settings: In Progress starts time tracking; Waiting On Parts, Need To Call and Complete stop it
