Create Your Account
Creating an account sets you up as the Account Owner of a new organisation.
Who can do this: anyone starting a new workshop account. If your workshop already uses BayWise, you should be invited rather than signing up.
Go to the sign-up page and enter your details
Your name, work email and a password.
Use a work email you will keep. It is the address invitations, reminders and account notices go to.
Verify your email
Follow the link sent to your address.
Complete onboarding
You are asked for your workshop’s name, its location and its time zone.
The time zone matters more than it looks: the board shows the workshop’s local time, not the viewer’s, and the plan’s days start and end in that zone.
Land on the board
You arrive at the board with a setup checklist showing what still needs doing.
What to do next
The board will be empty until the workshop is described. Work through the Account Owner guide, which puts the setup in the order that produces a good plan on day one.
→ Getting Started for Account Owners
Do not invite your team until the bays and technicians are set up. A team member who signs in to an empty board on day one forms an impression that takes a while to shift.
Being invited instead
If your workshop already has a BayWise account, ask an Account Owner or Org Admin to invite you. You will get an email with a link that joins you to the existing organisation with the role they chose.
Signing up separately creates a second, unconnected organisation — not what you want.
Signing in afterwards
Sign in with the same email and password. If you forget the password, use the reset link on the sign-in page.
Common questions
I signed up but meant to join my workshop’s account. Ask an owner to invite you, and sign in with the invitation. The organisation you created by accident can be left alone.
Can I change the workshop name or time zone later? Yes, in settings. Change the time zone before you have much history — the days in your records are recorded in the zone that was set at the time.
Do I need a payment method to start? No. The Free plan needs no card.
Can one person own more than one workshop? Yes — multiple locations under one organisation, on plans that support it.
The verification email has not arrived. Check spam. If it still has not come, try the reset-password flow with the same address, which will tell you whether the account exists.
