Body Shop / Collision Repair
A kanban board for collision-repair jobs — from intake and estimate through parts, repair, quality check, and delivery.
Body Shop opens on a stats summary — job counts by status and the dollars in work-in-progress — over a filterable board (or table) of collision-repair jobs grouped by lifecycle stage. Each job carries its vehicle, insurer, claim, estimate, and assigned tech.
What you can do
Open a repair job
Create a job with its type — collision, paint, dent, glass, frame, mechanical/body, or general — priority, the fleet vehicle, and an incident description.
Estimate & insurance
Record the estimate, insurer, claim number, and deductible; WIP dollars roll up to the stats summary.
Move it through the lanes
Track each job across intake → estimating → awaiting approval → approved → parts ordered → in progress → quality check → completed → delivered.
Hand it to a tech
Name the assigned technician or an outside vendor, and set drop-off and promised dates so nothing runs past its date.
Board or table
Switch between the kanban board and a table view, and filter by status, priority, vehicle, or a free-text search.
Drill into a job
Every card links to the job detail page for the full repair record.
A typical workflow
- Job comes in — staff open a new job, choose its type and priority, and pick the fleet vehicle involved.
- Estimate is written — the estimate, insurer, claim number, and deductible go on the job; it moves to estimating, then awaiting approval.
- Work is approved — once approved, parts are ordered and the job enters in progress with an assigned tech.
- Quality check — the repair is inspected at quality check before being marked completed.
- Delivered — the vehicle goes back to the fleet; the job closes as delivered and drops out of WIP.
A closer look
The board deliberately omits a "cancelled" lane to avoid a graveyard column — cancelled jobs stay filterable but off the board. WIP dollars are the sum of open estimates, so the stats summary doubles as a quick read on how much repair work is in flight.
