What you can do with it
Clocked time against sold time is the number that decides whether the workshop is a profit centre or an expense.
- Technicians clock on and off the job, including from the phone in the yard.
- Clocked time compared against the time sold on the job, per job and per technician.
- See who is on what right now without walking out to ask.
- Multiple technicians on one job, each with their own time.
- Time on internal and recon work measured the same way as retail work.
- Employee records and rates held per technician.
- Productivity visible by period rather than only at the end of the month.
- Job progress statuses that mean something on the floor, not just in a report.
For a dealer, recon is where this earns its keep. Internal work is easy to leave unmeasured, and it is exactly the work that quietly decides the margin on a unit.
