Job Management

Job management software for locksmiths

LockBench tracks every locksmith service call from the first dispatch to the final invoice — in one place. Create detailed job records with client, site, description, and assigned technician. Track status from Scheduled through Invoiced. Attach site photos, notes, and materials. Every job builds a searchable, defensible history for your business.

What a Job Record Covers

Every LockBench job record captures the full context of a service call. When a job is created, you assign it to a client and a specific site address, add a description of the work requested, and assign a technician. As the job progresses, technicians attach notes, photos of the door or lock hardware, and a list of materials used — key blanks, cylinders, hardware, or any billable item.

LockBench job records include every field a locksmith needs for a defensible service history — client, site, technician, status, notes, photos, and materials used.

The result is a permanent, searchable record of every service call your shop has performed. Nothing lives in a technician's notebook or a text message thread — it is all in one place, accessible to anyone on the team with the right permissions.


Job Status Workflow

Every job in LockBench follows a forward-only status progression: Scheduled, In Progress, Complete, and Invoiced. This sequence is enforced at the database level — a job cannot skip a step or move backward. The constraint exists because accurate status tracking is the foundation of reliable billing and dispute resolution.

LockBench enforces a forward-only job status progression — Scheduled, In Progress, Complete, Invoiced — so your billing and audit trail stay accurate.

  • 1.Scheduled — Job is booked with a date, time, and assigned technician
  • 2.In Progress — Technician is on site and work has begun
  • 3.Complete — Work is finished, notes and photos attached
  • 4.Invoiced — Invoice generated and sent to the client

When a client disputes a charge or questions when work was performed, the status history provides a clear, tamper-resistant timeline. Every transition is recorded — you always know when a job moved from one stage to the next.


Job History Per Client and Site

Every job in LockBench is linked to both a client and a specific site address. This means you can pull up the complete service history for any building — every rekey, every lock change, every emergency call — in seconds. For commercial locksmiths managing dozens of properties, this is the difference between guessing and knowing.

Every LockBench job is linked to a client and a specific site, so you can pull the complete service history for any building in seconds.

  • Instant lookup of all jobs performed at a specific address
  • Full client history across all their sites and locations
  • Useful for callbacks, warranty disputes, and commercial contract renewals
  • Defensible records when a property manager asks what was done and when

From Job Record to Invoice

LockBench connects the job record directly to the invoicing workflow. When a job is marked complete, the materials and labor logged against it are ready to flow into an invoice. There is no re-entering line items from a notepad or cross-referencing a spreadsheet — the data is already there.

Materials logged against a job flow directly into the invoice — no double-entry, no missed billable items.

The invoice is generated from the job record, sent to the client for review, and signed digitally. The entire chain — job creation, status progression, materials, invoice, and signature — is stored as a single audit trail. If a client questions a charge six months later, you have the complete record from dispatch to payment.
