Unclog your shop’s workflow.
Helios is the live production board for collision repair. See exactly where every vehicle is — without walking the floor, calling a tech, or trusting a whiteboard.
Visually manage 100+ jobs with drag-and-drop. Every stage, every tech, every hour — one screen.
Your shop already has a production system. It’s just made of dry-erase marker.
Every hour a manager spends walking the floor to answer “where is that car?” is an hour not spent moving work.
Whiteboard chaos
Managers walk the floor 6–10× a day chasing status
Nobody knows true booked hours until Friday
Parts holds discovered when the tech reaches for the part
Bays sit empty because next week was never planned
Customers call you — you don’t call them
Second location can’t see the first one’s board
One live production board
Every vehicle’s stage, bay and tech visible from any device
Live hour and production-value totals, always current
Color-coded holds surface the moment they’re flagged
Six-week planning view fills next month’s bays today
Status emails and photos go out from the job card
All locations on one real-time board, synced instantly
Three jobs Helios is hired to do
Reduce the chaos
The production board mirrors how your shop actually runs — left to right, check-in to delivery. Custom status colors mean a glance replaces a walk.
Maximize throughput
The planning board shows six weeks of capacity. Drag a job into next Tuesday and see instantly whether the hours fit before you promise a date.
Increase profit
Live totals for booked hours and production value sit on every column, so you know your shop’s real load without exporting a single report.
See the actual product before you talk to anyone
Drag a job onto a week and the capacity bar updates before you commit to a delivery date. This is how shops stop promising Friday and delivering Tuesday.
Real shops. Real numbers.
“Throughput went up 35% in three months. We didn’t hire anyone — we just stopped losing half a day per car to ‘where is it?’”
“I got 20 hours a week back from status calls and whiteboard updates. Helios paid for itself inside the first month.”
“The six-week planning board keeps our bays full 90% of the time. Before Helios we were guessing at next month.”
They manage repair orders. Helios manages production.
Both were built for mechanical service writing. Helios was built inside a collision shop, for the one thing those tools don’t do: showing you the floor.
