General job-based services

Some businesses work in jobs without being a garage, a repair shop, a laundry, a caterer or a site business. Kila gives them the same job board, job cards and front counter as every workshop.

What is special

Nothing is added for a particular trade. The menu section is Jobs: Front counter, Job board, My jobs, Quality checks, Parts desk, Uncollected items, Follow-up calls, Technician efficiency, Labour rates and operations, and Workshop settings. When you take a job in, choose what it is, such as Device or appliance, Work at a site or Other item (its Item and Serial number). The business starts with Kila’s standard roles.
