What it watches
Engineered for high-throughput shop floors
Real-time dispatch, automatic slip detection, and 2-way SMS that technicians actually run from their bays.
Intelligent Slip Prediction
Calculates standard job labor hours against active bay time. The moment a job drifts 10 minutes off pace, a high-priority alert triggers before the promise window breaks.
Live Multi-Bay Dispatch
Drag-and-drop schedule balancing calibrated for tablet touchscreens and shop environments. Re-sequence work orders instantly without reloading.
Targeted Tech Paging
Alerts route strictly to the assigned bay technician via push or dedicated shop SMS, eliminating noisy group chats and missed radio pages.
Branded Customer SMS Gateway
Automated status updates and delay notifications dispatched with your shop identity, phone number, and custom tracking link.
Precision Clock & DMS Sync
Seamless bidirectional sync with Mitchell1, Shopkey, and custom webhook feeds. Clocked technician hours align with estimated billable times.
Full Data Ownership & Webhooks
Complete JSON REST API, signed webhook event stream, and instant CSV export. Your shop data is never locked behind a proprietary wall.
Integrations
Wire it into the shop software you already run
Subscribe to schedule events, push work orders in from Mitchell1 or Shopkey, and drive your own technician notification sequences over signed webhooks.

The people who read it are holding a torque wrench
Customer phone calls dropped 42% in the first three weeks. The board flags late jobs before they become front-desk headaches.
We manage 18 commercial fleet accounts across 8 bays. Lanekeeper gives us the telemetry we need to hit delivery times.
We mounted three iPads on the shop walls. It took 15 minutes to train the techs and we have not missed a promise time all month.
