The invoice comes out of the job.
A workshop running paper job cards, remembered labour and a Friday invoicing scramble. We built the board the whole workshop works from: booking to collection, with labour and parts captured against the vehicle as they happen.
01 / The problem
Work was done, then remembered, then billed.
Job cards moved around the workshop on paper. Technicians wrote hours at the end of the day. Parts came off the shelf with a note. On Friday someone rebuilt the week's invoicing from whatever notes had survived.
Every gap in that chain was either unbilled work or a conversation with a customer about a charge nobody had authorised.
02 / The platform
Digital job cards with time tracking, workflow states from booking to collection, parts allocation, and invoicing generated from the work actually recorded.
One board, moving through a working day.
Illustrative walkthrough. Vehicles, job numbers and amounts are representative, not client data.
03 / How it was built
Shipped in stages, in the order that removed the most pain.
Digital job card
The single record for a vehicle in the workshop: complaint, diagnosis, authorisation, parts and labour.
Workflow states
Booking through to collection as explicit states, so nothing sits in an undefined limbo.
Time tracking
Technicians start and stop against the job, capturing labour as it happens rather than from memory.
Invoice builder
The invoice assembles itself from the recorded work, with anything unauthorised flagged before it goes out.
04 / What changed
The workshop runs off one board, and invoices come out of the job rather than out of someone's recollection.
