Startup Idea: Integrated Work Order Management App for Mechanics

Startup idea to develop a comprehensive application that can be integrated with existing programs to digitize and streamline the work order process for mechanics. The app should allow mechanics to manage and update work order information, such as tasks completed, problems found, issues resolved, and parts needed for repair directly from their tablets, which will then be directly accessible to managers or service writers.

I am a diesel mechanic. We use a variety of different software for out troubleshooting and diagnostics. The trouble we run into is our software we use for creating work orders. There is employee login software as well as software to create our work orders which is tied together to track time. A software that would be helpful would be some sort of app that could be tied to these programs through tablets and eliminate the need for paperwork orders to be handed out and allow us (the mechanics) to update the work order information through the tablets such as our work story, tasks completed, problems found, issues resolved, parts needed for repair. This could all be updated through our tablets and sent directly to the manager or service writer who could then contact customers or the parts department. I believe this would be extremely beneficial and eliminate time walking back and forth explaining in person then to different departments. These issues have been presented to the managers and service writers. Nothing has been implemented or talked about yet.
