App Concept

BayFlow Technician Scheduler

BayFlow is a specialized scheduling app that optimizes technician assignments and tracks productive hours for fair compensation in auto repair shops. It automatically assigns technicians to available bays based on skill level and job requirements while tracking all billable and non-billable hours to ensure fair pay beyond flat-rate systems. This reduces workflow disruptions, prevents idle technicians, and creates transparent compensation.

Key Features

Smart bay assignment algorithm based on technician skills and job requirements
Real-time bay availability tracking with visual shop floor layout
Productive hour tracking for both billable and non-billable work
Compensation calculator that factors in downtime, training, and complex jobs

Target Users: Auto repair shop owners and managers who need to optimize technician workflow, reduce turnover, and implement fair compensation systems beyond traditional flat-rate pay.

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per technician seat with tiered pricing based on shop size
