Documented booking in
Tying photos, a visual check or a signature to the start of the work.
01Need
A useful job order tells the whole story of the work.
In short
Gestión Taller and MecánicOS both include job orders. The first fits a local Android setup with no internet; the second fits when the order has to be shared between users, carry assigned mechanics and sit alongside a wider web system.
Who it's for
For workshops that want to leave scattered notes behind and tie booking in, tasks, paperwork and handover to one customer and one vehicle.
The real problem
An order loses its value if it's only a number. It should let you see what came in, what was asked for, what has been done, where it stands, and what evidence or documents go with the work.
What decides it
It depends on how you work, not on a feature list
Both cover orders, repairs and paperwork. What decides it isn't the word «order», but whether the work stays at the workshop or has to be shared, owners and access from off site.
What a job order should hold
- 01The customer and vehicle it belongs to
- 02Labour lines and paperwork
- 03Status, photos and signatures
- 04Quote, invoice and later history
Choose by the path the information takes
Gestión Taller makes an order easy inside a local setup. MecánicOS adds priorities, assigned mechanics, labour and parts lines, time tracking and shared work. If no signal dominates, it's worth comparing.
Three common situations
Follow-up
Knowing the status and the tasks attached before handing the vehicle back.
History
Keeping the repair and its documents for looking up later.
