Project Repair Orders
Long-running builds and restorations stay under one RO with a commercial cockpit, WIP tracking, progress and storage invoicing, and signed agreement changes.
Openhood handles the jobs that do not fit a same-day service lane. Project ROs keep restoration and build work under one record across weeks or months, with a commercial cockpit for worked-versus-allocated hours, unbilled WIP, invoiced and outstanding totals, a budget bar, progress and storage invoicing, row-scoped media and time logs, and agreement changes that go back to the customer as signed authorisation packets rather than internal overrides.
Who it helps
Less project sprawl. More controlled WIP and billing.
Technicians
Resumes project work through active job cards, logging time and attaching evidence per row instead of hunting through old notes.
Service advisors
Runs the project from one place: work packets, progress and storage invoices, customer updates, and signed agreement changes when scope grows.
Owners
Sees worked-versus-allocated hours, unbilled WIP, invoiced, and outstanding totals on one commercial cockpit before margin leaks.
Customers
Gets clearer scope, progress updates, and a fresh signed agreement when the build's budget needs to change.

- Gets clearer scope, progress updates, and a fresh signed agreement when the build's budget needs to change.
What it doesn’t do
- Progress invoices stay advisor-reviewed, Openhood guides WIP and billing pressure but never auto-finalises them.
- Parts that still need sourcing research stay as findings, not zero-cost quote rows.
