In build · first shop piloting this fall
The job never got lost. The answer did.
A detailing shop runs on questions — RFIs out, answers back, sheets moving, dates that matter. Most shops track that in a spreadsheet, an inbox, and somebody’s memory. This is the system one working detailer built to run his own shop, being packaged so other shops can run it too.
What it is
Software that sits on your own computer and keeps the moving parts of a detailing job in one place: the jobs, the open questions, the RFIs and what came back, the drawing sheets and where each one stands, and the email that goes with all of it. It drafts the outbound message; a person reads it before it sends. Every morning it writes you a short brief of what is actually waiting on you.
The thing it does first, and the reason most shops would want it, is stop losing RFIs and questions — that is the problem shops describe before any other. Jobs, sheets and the outbound email are the rest of the same loop, not separate products.
What it tracks
- Jobs
- The spine — every job, its phase, and what is open against it.
- Questions & RFIs
- Numbered, assigned, dated, and chased. What went out, what came back, what is still hanging.
- Drawing sheets
- Sheet-by-sheet status, so “where is that sheet” has an answer that is not a phone call.
- Outbound email
- Drafts the message with the job context already in it. Nothing sends without a person approving it.
- The daily brief
- One short page each morning: what is waiting on you, what is late, what moved.
Straight talk
Things worth knowing before you put your email in:
- It is not finished, and it is not for sale. The first shop outside ours starts running it this fall, free, while we find out what breaks on somebody else’s computer. There is no price yet because there is nothing to buy yet.
- It runs on your machine, on your own AI assistant subscription. Your job data stays on your disk. That also means you need that subscription for the assistant parts to work.
- It was built to run one real shop, not to demo well. It has run our own detailing business daily for months — real jobs, real RFIs, real deadlines. That is the whole reason to trust any of it, and it is also why the rough edges are in places a demo would never show you.
- Hands-on setup, by a person. No self-serve signup. That caps how many shops can start at once, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise.
