Get your shop up and running in a week

Day one,
shop floor ready.

Short, specific guides for the handful of things every shop sets up first — add your crew, plug in your first jobs, and get time on the clock. Every step is a two-minute card or a looping video of the real workflow.

Typical rollout timeline
Day 1Add shop, seats, your first 2 jobs
Day 2–3Crew onboarding · time clock live
Week 1GANTT populated · materials loaded
Week 2First payroll report exported
Month 1Full-shop adoption · reports → accounting
12 two-minute cards

Everything you touch in the first week,
broken into small pieces.

Each card takes two minutes or less. Start with § Setup on day one, bring the crew in on day two, wire up jobs and materials across week one. Cards link directly to the matching screen in the app.
