Feature: job cards
Digital job cards mechanics can use with one hand
Technicians open My Work and see only their assigned jobs: what to do, parts ready, the checklist, the timer and notes. Clock on and off with one tap, and the time flows to job costing and timesheets. Job cards still print when you need paper in the bay.
Early access: BayAutomate is onboarding Australian workshops now. Anything marked Coming soon or Planned isn't available yet. Everything else is included on every plan.
Why it matters
Paper job cards get lost and handwritten times rarely match reality. When the timer and parts are on the job itself, the owner can see whether the job made money while it is still in the bay.
What the technician sees
- Only their assigned jobs, in order
- The concern, checklist and service template
- Parts status: reserved, ordered, arrived
- One-tap clock on/off and notes
- Inspection shortcut for the vehicle

Questions
Can technicians see prices?
Technician screens focus on the work. Pricing, margins and invoices stay with the front counter and owner roles.
Do job cards print?
Yes. Job cards print as PDFs, one at a time or for the day.
