Printing a barcode on each job card lets mechanics scan the card with the mobile app and open the job instantly instead of searching for it. This article explains how to turn barcodes on.
Workshop Software allows you to add barcodes to Job Cards, making it even easier for mechanics to quickly access jobs using the Workshop Software Mobile App.
By scanning the barcode, mechanics can open the Job Card to Clock On / Clock Off on the Job Card, streamlining workshop operations and saving valuable time.
Follow the steps below to enable barcodes on your Job Cards:
