The problem

## With dozens of open work orders, customers slip through the cracks.

When the shop gets busy, proactive customer updates are the first thing to go.

### Nonstop "is it ready yet?" calls

Owners keep checking in — pulling your team off real work.

### Who do I update next?

Without a clear signal, advisors waste time figuring out where to start.

### High mental load

Tracking every order in your head is exhausting — and easy to drop.

### Customers feel forgotten

Silence turns into bad reviews — and lost repeat business.

Why teams love it

## A smarter way to keep every owner in the loop.

### We pick who's next

One prioritized queue of orders ready for an update. No triage required.

### Updates pre-written

AI drafts each message from real technician notes. You just review.

### You stay in control

Nothing sends automatically. Approve every message before it goes out.

### Never repeat yourself

Drafts only include new work — customers never get the same update twice.

### Hours back every week

Less typing and tracking. More time on boats, team, and growth.

### Happier customers

Proactive, personal updates that earn trust — and repeat business.

How it works

## From shop floor to owner's phone.

01

### Techs log work

Your shop's time entries become the source of truth.

02

### AI drafts the update

Notes turn into a clear, friendly customer message.

03

### You review and send

Approve in one click — sent by SMS and email.
