Car & bike service: schedule your bays, not your queue

A service centre's real inventory is bay-hours. Queues waste them; calendars sell them.

Car & bike service: schedule your bays, not your queue

The problem

Vehicles arrive in a morning rush, bays sit idle by afternoon, and the front desk spends the day answering one question: "is my car ready?"

What changed with Pathiv

  • Each bay is a calendar: a 30-minute wash, a 1-hour alignment and a 3-hour service each book exactly the time they need.
  • Wash, alignment, detailing and periodic service listed as separate bookable services.
  • WhatsApp status updates at every stage — checked in, in service, quality check, ready.
  • Payment on completion recorded in-app, with invoices generated per booking.

The result

  • Arrivals spread across the day to match real bay capacity.
  • "Is it ready?" calls all but stopped — the status message answers first.
