AI help on the shop floor

ORAVA can do the typing for you: read a parts invoice, read an odometer, write up a
dictated note, and suggest labor hours. Every one of these fills in a draft you
edit — nothing is saved until you save it, and nothing is sent to a customer until
you send it.

Scan a parts invoice

1. Open the repair order and expand the job the parts belong to.
2. Tap Scan parts and photograph the supplier invoice, the counter receipt, or the
   part's box label. Get the part numbers and prices in frame.
3. You get one row per part it read. Untick anything that isn't for this job, fix
   whatever is wrong, then tap Add to the job.

The prices you see on the photo are your cost. Your markup matrix prices the lines
when they're added, exactly as if you had typed them in yourself.

Scan an odometer

Tap the speedometer icon next to the mileage field — on the repair order or on the
vehicle — and photograph the instrument cluster straight on, with the display lit. The
number lands in the field, still editable.

If the reading is lower than the mileage on file, ORAVA says so. Odometers don't run
backwards: it's a misread, or it caught the trip meter. Check before you save.

Dictate the three C's

On a job, tap Dictate note, say what you found, then tap Stop. Your phone
transcribes the words — the audio never leaves the device — and ORAVA writes the note up
as concern, cause and correction.

It uses only what you said. If you didn't state a cause, the Cause field stays
empty: that's correct, not a failure. Fill it in yourself if you know it.

Suggest labor hours

In a labor line, tap Suggest hours. ORAVA answers from your own history first: once
you have billed three or more jobs by that name, you get your shop's average and the
number of jobs behind it. That costs nothing and reflects your bays and your people.

With less history than that, it's an AI estimate and says so. Check it against your
labor guide before you quote it — the hours are your margin.

Always check AI-drafted values

These tools read photos and words. They don't know your parts, your customers or your
cars, and they are occasionally confidently wrong: a smudged 8 read as a 3, a trip meter
mistaken for an odometer, a part number off by a character.

You are the one who signs the estimate. Read the numbers before they reach a customer —
especially costs, mileage and hours.

What it costs

Each scan, dictated note or AI estimate uses one AI credit. An hours suggestion
drawn from your own history uses none. When your credits run out ORAVA says so and every
field goes back to being typed by hand — nothing stops working.
