Workflow
From booking to job without retyping
In BayAutomate, the booking is the start of the job record. When the customer arrives, check-in turns the booking into a job with the same customer, vehicle, concern, service template, technician and estimated time. Nothing is copied or typed twice.
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.
Step by step
- Search rego, name or phone. The customer and vehicle are attached.
- Choose the service. The template sets the time and suggested parts.
- The diary places it on the right technician and bay and warns about clashes.
- On arrival, Check in creates the job and the odometer is recorded.
- The technician sees it in My Work with the concern and checklist.

Questions
What if the customer changes the booking?
Move or resize it in the diary. Reminders follow the new time.
Can walk-ins skip the booking?
Yes. Create the job directly. It still links to the customer and vehicle history.
