Jobs are hard to track
Work moves, but updates get lost in messages and notes.
Software for modern workshops
Run your workshop from one clean workspace.
Workshop OS helps garages, boat yards, restoration shops and custom-build teams keep customers, jobs, estimates, approvals, invoices and daily work in one place.

The problem
Most workshops still run on scattered tools.
Jobs live in messages. Estimates sit in spreadsheets. Updates depend on memory. Customers ask for status because nobody is looking at the same place.
Approvals slow work down
Estimates wait when decisions are not linked to the job.
Customers keep asking
Without a clear status, every update becomes manual.
One flow
One flow from request to invoice.
Keep the customer, asset, job, approval and invoice together as the work moves forward.
