By service

Ceramic coating shop software for every stage of the job.

A customer buys a bottle and a name. What they really pay for is a day of correction they never see. ShopHawk times each step as its own task.

One ceramic job, hour by hour

Each service on the work order is its own task, with its own timer.

Price the coating alone and you lose money. Price the whole day and you do not. When each service is its own task with a timer, the real hours are on record, and the learned ETA for the next ceramic job comes from them, not from a guess.

Usage

Every mL, car part by car part.

Log the coating on each area of the job, with the waste beside it. The waste comes off the bottle too.

UsageWasteYour plan, one car

Waste empties the bottle too. Plan 12.5 mL a car and a 50 mL bottle does four cars. Add 2.5 mL of waste a car and it does three. At Job Done, ShopHawk takes the usage and the waste off the bottle, so Remaining shows what is really left.

The cure

Finished at six, gone at eleven the next day.

Coating needs time to cure. The tech is done long before the car is ready, and that gap is where the keys go back too early.

A 24 hour clock. The outer arc is hands on work. The inner amber arc is the cure.

What that costs

A car that looks done at six is not ready at six. Hand the keys back that evening and the owner drives a soft coating into the rain, which is how a five year warranty turns into a callback.

So the front desk knows

The work order says Ready for Delivery at six. The Vehicle Curing event status on the appointment says wait. Set it by hand when the coat goes on.
