Hi Mike
Perhaps many have not replied, because an on screen diary/booking system is not that popular, to fiddly typing up the customers problems/details
I use a PC for everything but when it comes to booking jobs in i don't think you can beat the "T" card system. I have tried many things over the last 25 years, but find this is the best
We have 4 different colour cards Green for "MOT & Service", White for "Service", Yellow for "Repairs" and Orange for "MOT" (pink for "Day Off" ). You can see at a glance what work is booked in and what spaces are left when customers phone up. We then raise a manual job card for each job
PC's are great but we do tend to think we have to use them for everything
