Follow the steps below in order. You can return to this page at any time.
Job messages keep operational conversations attached to the relevant vehicle, while the Weather Planner helps managers prepare for rain, wind and temperature changes.
Send a message from the job when the note relates to that vehicle, such as missing keys, extra work, access delay or a question for the dealership. General team announcements belong in the normal message inbox.
Include the problem, what is needed and any deadline. “Keys missing from service desk; please confirm before 11:00” is more useful than “Where are keys?”
The dashboard weather box uses the dealership postcode and shows today plus the next two days. It includes conditions, temperatures, rain, wind, risk and practical advice.
Use the forecast to move exterior work, prepare covered space or protect completed vehicles. Weather advice is guidance, not a guarantee, so check current site conditions as well.
Do not promise a completion time solely from the forecast. Record any weather delay on the job and update the dealership or customer when the plan changes.
