Workshop scheduling
Instrument Repair Scheduling Software That Matches Promises to Bench Hours
The problem with a repair shop is rarely the repairs — it is promising a date the bench cannot keep. Music Shop Suite schedules jobs against real capacity, tracks parts on order, and keeps every job card's status visible to whoever is at the counter.
- Estimated bench hours per job against weekly capacity
- Promised dates you can defend when a customer calls
- Parts-on-order status so jobs do not stall silently
- Job cards by serial with photos and technician notes
- Ready-for-collection list, no memory required
Capacity, not optimism
When each job carries an hours estimate, the schedule shows the week filling up before you over-promise it.
- Per-technician workload view
- Rush jobs slotted with the knock-on effect visible
- Seasonal peaks like band repair season planned in advance
Nothing waits on a part nobody chased
Jobs waiting on parts are flagged separately from jobs waiting on the bench, so the two very different problems get two different actions.
The counter always has the answer
Anyone can look up a job by serial or customer name and say exactly where it is and when it will be done.
Repair history stays with the instrument
Every job attaches to the instrument record, so the next visit starts with what was done last time.
See the workbench before you sign up
Inventory, pricing, lesson bookings, and instrument lending all live in the same back-office dashboard — no separate apps, no re-keying between them.


Frequently asked
- Can I see the bench workload for next week?
- Yes. Jobs carry an estimated bench time and a promised date, so the week ahead shows whether you can take another rush job.
- Does the customer get told when it is ready?
- Every job records its status and contact details, so the ready-for-collection list is one screen rather than a memory test.
- Does it handle school batches?
- Yes. Intake a batch of school instruments as one drop-off with individual job cards per serial, then release them together.
