Workshop scheduling software
Workshop scheduling software should help the front desk see what is booked, what can still fit in, and where the day is likely to become overloaded. Workshop Buddy gives independent garages a clearer way to schedule work without relying on a paper diary.
The focus here is scheduling: booking jobs into the diary, seeing upcoming workload, and moving work quickly when customers are late or plans change.
