Drag-and-drop calendar. No more double-booking.
Running a busy garage on a paper diary or a basic spreadsheet is a constant source of stress: double-bookings, jobs dropped between the cracks, and no way to see at a glance whether you're over or under capacity. AutoChain's drag-and-drop calendar fixes all of that. Every job, every technician, every time slot lives in a single live view that updates the moment anything changes. Drag a job to a different bay, a different technician, or a different day and the whole team sees it instantly. Need to split a job across two time slots because a part is arriving the next morning? Done in seconds. The calendar is also linked directly to your online booking system, so customer bookings drop straight in without any manual entry.

-
Zero double-bookings
Real-time conflict detection means AutoChain flags overlapping slots the moment you try to create them, before they become a problem.

Full team visibility
Every technician sees their own schedule the moment you update it. No more "I didn't know about that job" at 8am.
-
Less time on the phone
Online bookings feed directly into the calendar. Customers book themselves in and you focus on the work, not the admin.

Instant reschedules, no confusion
Drag a job to a new slot and the whole team sees the change instantly: no message chains, no whiteboards to update, no miscommunication.
-
Know your capacity before it's a problem
Capacity alerts warn you when bays are filling up so you can decide whether to take on another job or push it to tomorrow before you've made a promise.
-
Plan staffing around real demand
A clear week view shows exactly when you're busy and when you're quiet, so you schedule staff where the work actually is.
