Music Store Work Orders and Repairs

How music shop work orders flow through your POS

From intake to checkout, every step of the repair process is tracked in your Music Shop 360 POS system.

1. Create the work order

When a customer brings in an instrument, create a work order in your POS to capture the repair details and customer information up front.

2. Assign and track the work

Assign the job to a technician and track its progress with notes and status updates as the repair moves forward.

3. Use templates for common repairs

Speed up intake and keep pricing consistent by using templates for common services like instrument setups, cleanings, and adjustments.

4. Manage complex repairs in one place

Group multiple services under a single work order so you can track each part of the repair clearly, even for more involved jobs.

5. Communicate with the customer

Keep customers informed throughout the repair process with updates on status, delays, or when the instrument is ready for pickup.

6. Convert the work order into a sale

When the instrument repair is complete, convert the work order into a sale so parts and labor are included and ready for checkout.

7. Track inventory and performance

Update inventory as parts are used and track repair activity to understand performance, turnaround times, and service revenue.
