Run your auto body shop with tools built around your process
Build the exact tools your body shop needs — from online estimate requests with photo uploads to repair workflow boards, parts tracking, technician time logs and customer portals. Describe your process and turn it into working software that fits how your shop actually operates.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your auto body shop actually needs
Collision repair is a juggling act — estimates, supplements, insurer approvals, parts delays, technician schedules and constant customer updates. Off‑the‑shelf software rarely mirrors how your shop stages work from intake to delivery.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps around your workflow. Create an online estimate and intake form, a repair board with your real stages (teardown, supplement, body, paint, reassembly, QC), time tracking for techs, and a parts tool that follows how you request, approve and receive components. Add a simple customer portal for status updates and messages so your front office spends less time on the phone.
Bring everything into one place — job info, photos, notes, insurer and claim details — and tailor dashboards and reports to what matters to you, like cycle time, jobs at risk and parts on backorder.
- Estimate & intake formsBuild a photo-based estimate request and vehicle intake form that creates leads, assigns estimators and books inspection slots.
- Repair workflow boardTurn your stages into a live job board with statuses, promised dates, tech assignments, QC checklists and cycle time tracking.
- Parts & suppliersCreate parts requests, approvals and POs, track ordered/received/backordered items, and organize by job or supplier.
- Customer updates & portalShare status, photos and messages through a secure link. Let customers upload documents and confirm pickup times.

Online estimate & vehicle intake
Capture leads with photos, vehicle details and contact info, then route to estimators and schedule inspections.
PromptCreate an online estimate and vehicle intake app for my auto body shop. Public page where customers enter name, phone, email, year/make/model, VIN (optional), license plate, insurance company and claim number (optional), describe the damage, choose preferred contact method, and upload multiple photos. Send an automatic confirmation. Build an internal dashboard to review submissions, auto-create a lead record, assign an estimator, add internal notes, and schedule an in-person inspection using available time slots. Allow converting an approved estimate into a repair job with a unique job number.
Repair workflow board & tech time tracking
Visualize every job through your real stages, assign techs, log time and manage QC before delivery.
PromptBuild a repair workflow board for an auto body shop. Use columns: Intake, Estimate, Teardown, Supplement, Parts on Order, Body, Paint, Reassembly, Detailing/QC, Ready for Pickup, Delivered. Each job card should show customer, vehicle, insurer/claim, promised date, assigned techs, parts status and notes. Include technician time tracking (clock in/out per job), photo uploads at each stage, and a QC checklist required before moving to Ready for Pickup. Add a supervisor dashboard showing average cycle time and jobs at risk (past due or stuck in a column more than X days).
Parts ordering & supplier management
Request, approve and track parts across jobs, suppliers and statuses with POs and alerts.
PromptCreate a parts and supplier management tool for my body shop. From any job, staff can submit a parts request with part description, OEM/aftermarket, quantity, price quote and preferred supplier. Route requests for approval, then generate a purchase order with a PO number. Track statuses: Requested, Approved, Ordered, Backordered, Received, Installed, Returned. Store invoices, shipping details and return authorizations. Provide dashboards by job and by supplier, and alert me if critical parts are not received 48 hours before the promised date.
Customer status portal & messaging
Give customers a secure link to view status, photos, upload docs and confirm pickup times.
PromptBuild a customer portal for auto body repairs. When I add a job, generate a secure link the customer can open on their phone to see repair status stages, the current step, estimated completion date, photos added by my team and a message thread. Let customers upload insurance documents, approve supplements, and confirm a pickup appointment time. Include admin settings to customize shop branding and default messages.
