About This Automation

Booking and scheduling a repair involves checking insurance status, parts availability, and workshop capacity before a customer gets a confirmed date. Doing this by phone, email, and shared calendars creates delays and constant back and forth, especially when reschedules hit.

The automated version reads incoming enquiries, checks parts and calendar availability together, and sends the customer a confirmed slot without manual cross-referencing. Reminders go out automatically and reschedule requests are flagged instantly, keeping the workshop schedule accurate.

Key features
Captures repair enquiry details automatically from incoming messages
Cross-checks parts availability before a repair date is offered
Matches bay and technician capacity to job length in real time
Sends confirmed booking details to the customer without manual drafting
Delivers day-before reminders on a fixed schedule
Flags reschedule requests immediately so staff can respond fast
