PDC CONTROL BOARD
Workshop Planner
manager@yourpdc.com.auSign out
15 bays, hundreds of keys, every fitting line timed. PDControl breaks each job card into stations, books it into bays and re-plans the whole workshop the moment anything changes. Salespeople see every sold car live, from production to delivery.
Live demo with sample data. Jobs run against the clock, finish, and the bays re-plan on their own.
One screen shows where each vehicle is, how long it has been there and which stations still need it. Click a tile to filter. Click a station column to see who needs fitting, fab or tint.
| Key | Stock | Job card | Vehicle | Parts | Pit | Mech | Hoist | Fab | Fitting | Elec | Tint | Tyres | Sublet | Age | Status |
|---|
Import your DMS job cards and PDControl splits every line into the station that does it, with a standard time attached. Sublets go to the supplier. Each station gets its own booking, ready for a bay.
Every Start and Stop on the iPad is timed against the standard. You see actual against planned by line, by fitter and by bay, and the planner uses each fitter's efficiency when it books the next job.
Overdue work follows the clock live. Start a job early and everything behind it shifts back in seconds. No warnings, no dragging every card by hand. Try it.
The final check list is built from the job card, so the inspector checks exactly what went on the car. Pass it and the key is freed and the car moves to work complete. Fail a line and it goes straight back to the station.
Big screen for the floor. Running jobs on top, next eight per bay below, Start and Stop for tint and tyres.
Seat covers, signage, pit and weigh. Suppliers log in, tick their work and the PO closes on the board.
Sales see days on site, ETA countdowns and what is left on each car. No phone calls to the workshop.
Walk the yard on an iPad. Keys in order, tap to mark seen, every item ticked present or missing.
Cars on site, average days, bookings per bay and booked work in days. One glance for the dealer principal.
Upload your DMS and stock reports. Cars that drop off are completed properly, never lost.
Fitters see only their jobs. Suppliers see only their sublets. Managers see everything.
Waiting on parts or a stoppage? The car is flagged, kept off the planner and shown with its ETA.
Salespeople see where each customer's car is, when it lands, what the workshop is fitting and the day it's ready. No more ringing the workshop.
| Customer | Vehicle | Stock / order | Where it is | ETA / ready | Workshop | Tint | Build | Tray |

Sample data. Click a tile to filter, and click a Tint, Build or Tray box to change it, just as your salespeople do.
Every car shows the same station icons the workshop works from: parts, tint, fitting, fab, electrical, tyres and sublet. A station flashes blue when it's booked and turns green when it's done.
When a customer's car gets a production month, comes off the line or gets a new arrival date, PDControl drafts the email for the salesperson to check and send from their own Outlook. One draft per update, never two.
Delivery dates, arrival dates, follow-up calls and tasks for each car sit on one month calendar. Drag a reminder to another day when the customer asks you to call back.
Track every finance application next to the car it's for. Commission adds itself up, settlement dates turn green, and the month totals are there for the sales meeting.

A car slips its ETA, a customer's car lands, or something is waiting on the salesperson. It shows up here first.
Sales managers switch between salespeople or see the whole team. Salespeople see only their own customers.
Print key and windscreen labels with the VIN on your own Zebra printer, two copies a car.
Every delivered car with its order, arrival and delivery dates, for the month-end tally.
The accessories sold on each deal are listed against the car, so nothing is missed when the build is ordered.
Customer requests and promises saved against the car, visible to the whole sales team.
Upload your DMS order report and every sold car lands on the right salesperson's dashboard.
The whole dashboard works on a phone, so the answer is there when the customer rings.
We load a sample of your vehicles, job cards and sold orders and walk your workshop, sales team and management through a live board.
