Work-Order & Job Management

Q: Will the automation work with our existing Google Sheets and calendar setup?

Yes. The automation integrates directly with Google Sheets for job records and Google Calendar for technician availability, so no new tools are required.

Q: How much human review is still needed after automation is running?

The manager reviews completed jobs and handles any exceptions or special requests, but routine intake, scheduling, and confirmation are fully automated. This typically takes 3 minutes per order instead of 52 minutes.

Q: Can the automation handle phone calls or just email and forms?

The automation currently processes email and web form submissions. Phone calls can be transcribed and forwarded as email, or customers can be directed to submit requests via email or form for faster processing.

Q: What happens to our existing job records and customer history?

Existing records remain in your spreadsheet and are not affected. The automation begins processing new work orders immediately and can be configured to backfill historical data if needed.

Keep every tyre job moving from booking to invoice without staff chasing paperwork or losing track of vehicle status.
