One place for the work

Build the complete repair order as you go.

Add the RO number, date, description, and every operation you complete. Each job keeps its own labor time and pay type, so the record matches the work instead of flattening it into one total.

  • Multiple jobs on one repair order
  • Customer-pay, warranty, and internal labor types
  • Paid and unpaid status for follow-up

Faster entry

Get routine work recorded without the routine typing.

Quick Add is always close by, and Saved Jobs bring the operation name, labor time, and pay type into a new work order. Use them together when the same services keep coming through your bay.

  • Work that crosses days or pay periods

Questions, answered

What technicians ask about Hour tracking.

Practical details before you put the feature to work.

How does Flat Rate Tracker calculate flagged hours?

Flagged hours come from the labor time you record on each job and the amount you mark as flagged. Partial flags and signed adjustments update the period total while keeping a history on the work order.

Can I track multiple jobs on one work order?

Yes. A work order can include multiple jobs, and each job can have its own hours and labor type.

Can I adjust hours after saving a work order?

Yes. You can add or remove flagged hours after saving. Flat Rate Tracker keeps the flagging history so the changes remain visible.

Can I track estimated earnings?

Yes. Add your pay settings and Flat Rate Tracker can estimate earnings from the work you have flagged. PayTrack pay stub comparisons are a separate Pro feature.

Can I attach photos to a work order?

Yes. Work Order Photos are available with Pro and Team plans. From a desktop Work Order, you can display a QR code, scan it with your phone, take or choose photos, and send them back to the Work Order in your desktop session.
