For each employee
See your own time record
My shifts shows your entries and correction history. Request a correction without editing the record yourself. Time-clock-only mode keeps a shared device focused on clocking in, breaks, and clocking out.
Production for the whole floor
Keep every repair and handoff on track
See where each repair stands, plan the next move against your team's availability, and give every technician a clear queue on a phone or shop tablet.
One live production board
See where every repair is and what is holding it up
Each card carries the vehicle, customer, promised date, assigned staff, rush status, blocker, and parts signal. Rename, re-order, and add stages to match your shop, attach required checks to each stage, filter the board for the huddle, with results and recorded exceptions kept on the RO.
Why it matters
The huddle starts with the repairs that are late, blocked, or at risk, not with a second whiteboard.
01Board
See the stage, promise risk, blocker, and parts signal.
02Assign
Assign the right people with current workload in view.
03My Work
The repair lands in the staff member's focused queue.
04Time and move
Start the job timer or move the repair from the same view.
My Work
Give your staff a focused work queue
My Work shows your staff what is on their bench, what is coming next, and when a job is late, blocked, or urgent.
- Rush work comes first, followed by promised date and days in stage.
- Plate, color, and tap-to-copy VIN stay on the job card.
- Start the timer, assign the job, or change its stage from the same view.
- Use AutoHound in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, and tablets.
Assign with the load in view
Assign the right people to the repair
Plan hours by trade and technician, account for time off, and split work when needed. See which repairs risk missing their promised date and, when available, the schedule change that brings one forward without making another late. Assignment changes stay in the repair history. Explore scheduling and capacity.

Time on the job
Start, switch, and stop job timers in My Work. Compare booked and tracked hours. Corrections preserve original entries, record who changed them and why, and notify technicians.
Repair-job timers stay separate from shift records. AutoHound never compares the two.
Shift Time
From clock-in to approved hours
Clock in, record meal breaks, and clock out from My Work on a phone, or select your name and enter a PIN on the shop tablet. Shift Time is included at no extra cost.
For the manager
Review, correct, and approve
Owners, Admins, and specifically authorized nontechnicians can manage Timesheets; technicians cannot. Every correction needs a reason and notifies the employee. Approving a period locks it, ready to export.
For payroll
Hand off approved hours
Export approved hours to QuickBooks Online or CSV for Gusto, ADP, or Paychex. Your payroll provider calculates overtime, taxes, and pay. Keep seven years of records, including after an employee leaves, with a full-shop export if you leave AutoHound.
Your shop's clock-in rules
Shift Time is off by default. Choose the pay period and a still-clocked-in reminder. Optionally require a shop device or shop Wi-Fi; offsite entries wait for manager approval. No GPS, time rounding, automatic break deductions, or automatic shift closure.
Board on the wall
Put the live board on the wall
TV mode removes the app navigation and enlarges the cards for a wall-mounted tablet or shop TV. Cards can still be moved there. When the office moves a repair, the floor sees the same change without a second board.
- Keep promised dates, blockers, parts signals, and assignments visible.
- Give the team one production picture for the huddle and the rest of the day.
