Resources stay ready before the work depends on them.

Software can track the parts, bays, tools, diagnostic equipment, vendors, and vehicles, parts suppliers, warranty partners, and vendors, access, records, purchasing, and readiness behind requests, work, parts, bays, tools, diagnostic equipment, vendors, and vehicles, decisions, billing, and reporting. It can keep Customer, vehicle, repair order, estimate, part, invoice, and warranty records tied to assigned inspections, diagnostics, repairs, estimates, or pickup tasks, parts, bays, tools, diagnostic equipment, vendors, and vehicles, service advisors, technicians, parts teams, and shop managers, and vehicle owners, fleet managers, warranty partners, and parts suppliers.

If the business can observe it, track it, decide on it, approve it, improve it, or report on it, it can become part of the software.
