Workshop Calendar

Your whole workshop's day in a single view.

Resource timeline, day-week-month, time clocks and absences — ZiiX's calendar brings bookings, deliveries and employee hours into one live view that updates in real time for everyone on the floor.

  • Resource timeline with lifts, bays and mechanics as rows
  • Events auto-created from sales orders, deliveries and rentals
  • Real-time updates — no double bookings, no manual refresh
  • Built-in shift plans and capacity overview per employee

Built for how a workshop actually runs

The ZiiX calendar isn't a generic scheduler. It knows the difference between a service job, a delivery, a rental and a sick day — and shows each with its own colour and icon. When an order gets a delivery date, the event appears in the calendar on its own, with order number, plate, make and model right inside the block.

Employees, lifts and bays show up as their own rows, so you can see in a glance who has capacity and who is overloaded. Everyone on the team sees the same data in the same second — without hitting F5.

One unified view across employees and resources

Events created automatically from sales orders

Real-time sync between every signed-in user

Lifts and bays as their own resource rows

Holidays, sickness and absence in the capacity view

Multi-shop support with shared or location-specific resources

Flexible calendar views

Pick the view that fits the task — without losing context.

  • Resource timeline

    Every employee and resource shown as a row with time blocks, day by day — perfect for planning shifts and seeing floor capacity.

  • Resource time grid

    Detailed hour-by-hour view with resources on the horizontal axis — best for busy days with many short jobs.

  • Day, week and month views

    Classic views for both daily ops and longer-range planning around holidays, seasons and campaigns.

  • Default view per location

    Each shop sets its preferred view, so employees always land where they expect.

Resources and departments

Model the workshop's physical floor in the calendar — not just the people.

  • Employee rows

    Every mechanic gets their own row with time blocks, so it's obvious who is doing what — and when.

  • Lifts and bays as resources

    Create "Lift A", "Lift B" or "Bay 1" as their own rows. Bookings attach to the physical space, not just to a person.

  • Rental cars in the calendar

    Rental periods show up as resources with start, end and customer — so the same car never gets booked out twice.

  • Enable, disable and sort

    Departments and resources can be switched on and off and ordered in whatever sequence makes sense for you.

  • Location-scoped or shared

    Each resource can be locked to one shop or shared across all — e.g. a rental car in a common fleet.

Automatic from sales orders

The calendar and your sales orders are the same system — no double entry.

  • Delivery = calendar event

    Set a delivery date on an order and the event appears in the calendar automatically.

  • Vehicle data inside the block

    Order number, plate, make and model show right inside the event — so the mechanic knows what's coming.

  • Jump to the order with one click

    Click an event to open the linked sales order in the same window.

  • Duration from billable hours

    Event length is calculated from the billable hours on the order — no guesswork.

Create and edit fast

  • Right-click for a new event

    Right-click on a time slot to create an event in seconds.

  • Simple modal for details

    Edit start/end, resource and event type without leaving the calendar.

  • Context menu: copy, move, delete

    Right-click an existing event and run the action you need — no dialog storms.

  • Move between days without opening the order

    Drop an event onto a different day via the menu without opening the linked sales order.

Event types with their own colour and icon

The calendar separates different day types automatically, so structure is visible at a glance.

  • Service jobs and work orders

    Linked directly to a sales order — the primary event type for a workshop.

  • Deliveries

    Created automatically when a sales order gets a delivery date — so the customer gets the car when promised.

  • Rental periods

    Start and return of a rental car — shows the whole rental window, not just pickup.

  • Clock in/out

    Employee time clocks appear directly in the calendar, so timesheets match reality.

  • Holidays, sickness and absence

    Clearly marked as non-billable — so the capacity view stays honest.

Working hours and capacity

Plan against what's actually possible — not wishful thinking.

  • Daily hours per employee

    Each resource row shows the day's total hours and remaining capacity in its header.

  • Automatic time calculation

    Hours are calculated from the employee's shift plan minus breaks — no spreadsheets.

  • Over- and under-load at a glance

    See in seconds who is buried and who has room for extra work.

Multi-shop support

  • Automatic per-shop filtering

    The calendar only shows the active shop's events and resources — no noise from other locations.

  • Shared resources across shops

    Rental cars, external warehouses or specialists can be shared between shops without duplicate data.

  • Per-shop settings

    Default view, overlap rules and delivery-list behaviour are set independently for each location.

Frequently asked questions

Does the calendar update in real time across multiple users?+
Yes. Every change is visible to all signed-in users instantly — no manual refresh. That's a big part of why the ZiiX calendar prevents double bookings even on the busiest days.
Can I show lifts and bays as resources?+
Yes. Create "Lift A", "Bay 1" or other physical resources as their own rows. Bookings can attach directly to the bay, not just to a mechanic.
Are calendar events created automatically from sales orders?+
Yes. When a sales order gets a delivery date, the event is created automatically with order number, plate, make and model. Clicking opens the order directly.
Can I run one calendar across multiple workshops?+
Yes. ZiiX supports multi-shop management. Each shop has its own calendar with location-specific resources, but shared resources (a pool rental car, a specialist) can be viewed across all of them.
Does the calendar include holidays and absence?+
Yes. Holidays, sickness and other absence are tracked as their own event types and feed the capacity view — so you don't book a job onto a day the mechanic isn't there.
