Planning Board

A streamlined scheduling system that helps you organize upcoming jobs, assign work, and balance workloads. Plan smarter to reduce downtime and maximize productivity.
6-Week Scheduling Window
Plan up to six weeks out with a clear view of what’s coming. All new jobs land in the Unscheduled column by default—including ones imported from CCC1—so nothing slips through the cracks.
One-Step Check-In
When a vehicle arrives, just drag the job card to the Check-In column. That’s it—it’s now active and ready to roll.
Simple, Visual Workflow
Drag-and-drop from start to finish. No extra clicks, no confusion—just an intuitive board that matches how your shop actually works.

Production Board

Custom Color-Coding
Set custom card colors and use visual “dot” indicators any way you want. Assign meanings that fit your workflow—Red for “waiting on parts,” Green for “ready for pickup,” Yellow for “customer notified,” etc. Keep your team aligned at a glance.
Instant Totals
See total job value and total estimated hours instantly. Filter by date, technician, status, or any other tag—totals update live so you’re never guessing.
Big Screen Ready
Run the board on a large screen in the shop, a desktop in the office, or your phone on the go. Wherever you are, you’ve got full visibility and control.
Smart Left-to-Right Flow
Jobs move left to right as they progress. It’s a clear visual pipeline—no clutter, no confusion. Just status at a glance, like it should be.
