The GarageCloud workshop board is a live view of every bay and every job, updated in real time.It replaces the whiteboard or the wall of job cards with the same at-a-glance layout, minus the bit where someone has to physically update it and everyone else has to walk over to read it. It's one part of what garage management software covers.
What's on the board
- Every bay, with the vehicle and job currently in it.
- Job status — waiting, in progress, ready — visible without opening the job card.
- Registration, job type and technician assigned, at a glance.
- Mobile jobs — including mobile tyre fitting — and courtesy car jobs alongside in-bay work, on the same board.
Why a live board beats a whiteboard
A physical whiteboard works for one workshop location and however many people can see it. It breaks down the moment a technician is on a mobile job, a manager wants status from home, or two people update the same card at once. A live board is the same information, visible to whoever needs it, from wherever they are.
How job cards move through the board
Each job starts when it is booked, gets assigned a bay and a technician, and moves through status as work progresses — from waiting, through in progress, to ready for collection or delivery. Reassigning a bay or technician is a change on the board itself, not a rewrite of a paper card. See pricing for which plan includes it.
