LK Lanekeeper v2.4
Core System Architecture

Engineered for high-throughput shop floors

Real-time dispatch, automatic slip detection, and 2-way SMS that technicians actually run from their bays.

Engine 01

Predictive Slip Detection

Lanekeeper continuously compares standard book labor times with actual bay clock telemetry. When an unexpected rusty bolt or parts delay occurs, the system recalculates estimated completion time before the delay cascades to following jobs.

  • Configurable warning buffers (e.g. 10m, 15m, or 30m prior to delivery deadline)
  • Automatic job re-sequencing suggestions for afternoon work orders
  • Zero dashboard babysitting required — alerts push to assigned techs

Built for Greasy Fingers and Wall Tablets

Shop floors are tough on software. Lanekeeper features high-contrast touch targets, quick one-tap status toggles (Started, Paused, Waiting on Parts, Q/C Complete), and instant offline sync so network hiccups never freeze work in a bay.

  • Optimized for iPad, Android tablets, and wall-mounted shop monitors
  • Multi-touch drag and drop without accidental gestures
  • Dark console & high-visibility daylight shop modes
Engine 03

Automated, Branded Customer SMS

Eliminate the endless "Is my car ready yet?" phone calls. Lanekeeper automatically texts customers when their vehicle enters a bay, when an inspection video is ready, or if a delay requires a revised delivery promise.
