Bookings
Scheduling that fills every bay
AI reads your enquiries and proposes the perfect booking — right technician, right time, right bay. You approve with one tap. No more empty bays, no more double-bookings.
Sound familiar?
Every workshop knows the pain of manual scheduling. Here's what it actually costs you.
Empty bays, lost revenue
One in five appointments doesn't show up. At ~$450 per no-show, that's thousands a month in lost revenue — and the bay sits empty while other customers wait.
Technicians under-booked
Most workshops target 80% tech utilisation but land at 60-70%. Manual scheduling can't balance workloads or account for job complexity.
Scheduling is a full-time job
Read the enquiry, look up the customer, check the calendar, find a tech, enter the booking. Multiply that by 10-15 enquiries a day.
No one does this with AI
Not a single Australian workshop software uses AI for scheduling. Every competitor relies on manual calendar entry — the same process since the 1990s.
No-shows add up fast
For larger workshops, no-shows cost over a million dollars a year in lost revenue. Most shops accept this as normal. It isn't.
Calendar chaos
Whiteboards, paper diaries, Google Calendar, and the workshop system — all out of sync. Double-bookings happen weekly.
The impact of getting it right
When scheduling works, everything else follows.
Proper scheduling software fills gaps and eliminates double-bookings. More jobs through the same number of bays.
Automated SMS reminders push show rates from 76% to 85%+. That's 2-3 fewer no-shows per week for the average workshop.
AI-assisted scheduling eliminates double-bookings, wrong tech assignments, and jobs that don't fit the available time.
Every no-show you prevent is $450 back in your pocket. Prevent just two per week and that's $46,800 a year.
How it works
From enquiry to booked job — three steps, one screen.
Book
Enquiries come in via email, web, or phone. AI reads them, identifies the customer and vehicle, and proposes a booking at the optimal time slot.
Assign
AI matches the right technician based on skills, availability, and workload. Drag and drop to adjust if needed.
Track
Real-time status board shows every job from booked to in progress to complete. Customers get automatic SMS updates at each stage.
