Here's what June was like at RepairDesk, 

Key Highlight:

Rush Jobs - Pin Tickets
Many repair shops utilize a rush fee in order to avoid last-minute panicked requests from walk-in customers, or you have a priority client that you know will flip out cause it took too long or the team didn’t finish the day before because of additional problems or part needs ordered overnight.
To prevent this to happen in future we have introduced an option to mark certain repair tickets as ‘high priority’, making them stand out on your Manage Tickets page.
This ensures that your technicians can quickly identify and complete urgent jobs, even across different shifts.
With Rush Jobs you can:
  • Create a Rush Job: While creating a ticket on the POS, you can now mark a Rush Job while on the Details step. Once a repair job is marked as repaired & collected, it automatically unmarks it as a rush job. 
  • Mark/Unmark a Rush Job: You can mark or unmark a Rush Job from the list by clicking the ‘Pin’ icon next to the Ticket ID. 
  • Prioritized Display: Rush Jobs will appear at the top of your tickets list, clearly highlighted to catch attention.
  • Filter for Rush Jobs: You can also use the newly added filter to display only the Rush Jobs on the Ticket Listing.
