Scheduling technicians and work bays manually consumes hours each week as managers call, text, and walk the shop floor to check availability. Conflicts and reschedules compound the problem, forcing the process to restart repeatedly.
Automation evaluates incoming jobs against live technician skills, availability, and bay status to recommend assignments instantly. The shop manager reviews and approves flagged cases, eliminating phone tag and double-bookings while keeping humans in control of edge cases.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A new service job is created in the shop management system or an appointment is booked online. The automation is triggered with job details including vehicle type, service needed, and estimated duration.

The technician's calendar and the bay's schedule are updated in real time to reflect the new assignment and block the bay for the estimated duration.
