Manage Multiple Locations

An organisation can run several workshops, each with its own floor, its own team and its own day.

Who can do this: Account Owners and Org Admins. Requires a plan that supports multiple locations.


Adding a location

Open Settings → Locations

Add a location

Enter its name, address and time zone

Each location has its own time zone. A group operating across time zones must set each one correctly — the board shows the location’s local time, and the plan’s days begin and end in that zone.

Save, then configure it

Operating hours, breaks, bay buffer, clock-in rule, bays, technicians and zones are all set per location.


Switching between locations

The location switcher moves you between sites. What you see — the board, bays, technicians, analytics, day close — is always the location you are currently in.

Somebody with access to one location does not see the switcher at all.

Everything you do applies to the location you are in. Before closing a day or changing a setting, check which location the board is showing — the commonest multi-site mistake is configuring the wrong site.

Publishing from the centre

Service catalogues, repair steps and presets can be defined once and published to every location, so a brake service means the same thing and takes the same time at every site.

This is the difference between a group and a collection of independent shops: without it, each site drifts into its own vocabulary and its own durations, and nothing can be compared.

Giving people access

Team members are invited to the organisation and given access to one location, several, or all.

Comparing sites

Because every location is planned the same way and closed the same way, utilisation, estimation accuracy, promise adherence and technician performance are genuinely comparable between them — the numbers are not shaped by how diligent each site’s controller happens to be.

Analytics is read one location at a time; the comparison is yours to make across them.

Common questions

How many locations can I have? Free is one, Pro up to three, Enterprise unlimited.

Plan Feature Matrix

Can a technician work at two locations? Add them at each site they work at, with the availability that applies there.

Can a vehicle move between locations? Each visit belongs to the location it was checked in at. A vehicle sent to another site is checked in there.

Do closures apply to all sites? No, per location. A site with different local holidays keeps its own.

Can each site have different operating hours? Yes — hours, breaks, buffer and clock-in rule are all per location.
