How the desk runs
One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.
Who is free, right now
A dealership is two technicians short for Monday. Booking Desk shows which technicians are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
Technicians move between dealer groups in a small local market, so your own database is usually a better first call than an advert. Plain-English search runs across everyone you have placed, and pulls a profile from LinkedIn into the record in a click.
Checks beside the button
Before anyone is committed the desk shows whether the technician can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the dealership is really judging is whether the technician can work unsupervised on the bay from day one — so the check happens before the booking, not after.
Timesheets without the chasing
Dealerships approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.
Pay the week, bill the client
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay, with umbrella for contract technicians, run from the hours that were approved — and the dealership invoiced in the same straight-through run.
Where the week stands
Dashman shows fill-rate by dealership, revenue by desk and the qualifications you are short of, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Checks and clearances
Qualified for the bay before the booking is committed
Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free.
How documents and expiry work- Technical and trade qualifications with expiry alerts
- Driving licence category where the role requires it
- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record

Questions
Temp Automotive recruitment software questions.
How quickly can a automotive shift be filled?
Start from the open job or from the technician. The desk shows who is free, who is booked elsewhere, and who is cleared, so the booking can be made on the call rather than after a round of phoning.
What happens when a booking is cancelled at short notice?
Cancel the job or the booking with the date and the reason attached. The history stays on the record, so the whole team has the same answer when the dealership asks about it weeks later.
Does it handle AWR and holiday pay?
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay run from the hours approved on the timesheet, and umbrella and limited arrangements run for contractors on the same approved workflow.
Can we see a whole week of bookings at once?
Timeline shows the week read down the people or down the jobs: who is on what, for which client, on which day, with the unfilled gaps visible.
What checks does a automotive placement need?
Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free. The desk holds technical and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, driving licence category where the role requires it, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
