The problem
A workshop takes in a car, notes the damage on paper, and hopes nobody disagrees later. The paper is the dispute — it gets lost, or it is illegible, or the customer never signed the part that matters.
How it was built
The handover protocol is the centre, not a feature
The customer signs on a tablet at intake. The record has photographs, recorded condition and a signature attached to a timestamp — which is what makes it worth anything when there is an argument three weeks later.
Public booking and internal workshop are one system
A booking made on the public site lands in the workshop calendar as a job. Two systems would mean somebody retyping.
Covered by end-to-end tests, not clicks
Playwright drives the whole flow — booking, intake, signature, job completion — because a workshop system that breaks silently is worse than the paper it replaced.
Where it landed
- Public site, online booking, workshop calendar, jobs and tasks in one build
- Paper removed from the one place where it caused disputes
Software that has to survive dirty hands
The intake screens are used standing next to a car, on a tablet, by someone who does not want to be using a tablet. That constraint drove more design decisions than any style guide.
