Built for practical shops

No complicated workflow just to move a job.

The product direction is intentionally plain: show the right job, the next action, the parts and labor context, the customer decision, and whether the unit can be released.

Work order command

Intake, assignment, status moves, tasks, technician notes, labor, parts, and repair history stay together.

Estimate and approval loop

Build estimates, send approval links, support selected-line approval, and keep customer decisions attached to the job.

Parts and purchasing

Track inventory, QR or barcode usage, transfers, vendors, purchase orders, receiving, and parts requests.

Scheduling and PM

Plan bays and technicians, surface conflicts, manage PM templates, generate PM work, and keep warranty history visible.

Customer portal and financials

Use portal sessions, messages, invoice visibility, posted payments, receipts, statements, terms, holds, and release state.

Reviewed AI workflow

AI suggestions stay human-reviewed and provider-gated until retention, logging, authorization, and staging tests are approved.

Roles

Each shop role gets a manageable surface.

Users should not need to learn the whole system to do their job. Role labels are visible here; shared BinderOS auth and permission replacement remains a deployment-readiness requirement.

Shop owner

Owns settings, billing direction, users, reporting, credit policy, and release overrides.

Shop manager

Moves work through intake, bays, technicians, approvals, parts, and release decisions.

Service writer

Creates work orders, estimates, customer updates, approvals, and payment handoffs.

Technician

Works assigned jobs, tasks, labor, notes, timers, parts usage, and evidence metadata.

Parts manager

Manages inventory, vendors, purchase orders, receiving, transfers, and low-stock follow-up.

Customer contact

Uses narrow portal access for approvals, status, messages, and invoice visibility.

Simple operating loop

Intake, estimate, schedule, repair, release.

01Intake

Create or review the job and make the unit, customer, priority, and requested work clear.

02Estimate

Build the work list, capture selected approvals, and keep declined work visible.

03Schedule

Assign the work to a bay, technician, or mobile mechanic without hiding conflicts.

04Repair

Track tasks, labor, timers, notes, parts, evidence metadata, and repair history.

05Release

Confirm payment, terms, credit hold, or manager override before the unit leaves.

Honest by design

Ready for focused tester staging, not production overclaiming.

CheckRequired

MyShopBinder is local-first/source-tested today; shared Supabase application and hosted tester smoke tests are still required.

CheckRequired

Live card or ACH payments stay disabled until processor keys, webhooks, receipts, refunds, disputes, reconciliation, and PCI responsibilities are reviewed.

CheckRequired

Portal uploads and technician evidence are metadata-only until storage buckets, policies, malware posture, and privacy review are complete.

CheckRequired

Connected dashboard provider data stays read-only until a write-back decision and provider-specific tests exist.
