One promise-risk score

Late, waiting on parts, unstarted labor, and time in stage roll up into one number from 0 to 100. The riskiest car is always on top.

"Why it needs you," in plain words

Every score comes with the reason behind it, so a writer knows what to do in five seconds instead of opening the order.

Shop pulse

Can this week hold what you sold?

Shop pulse puts the hours you promised next to the hours your techs can actually work, today and for the week, so you see the crunch before Friday does.

See the risk. Fix it without leaving the row.

Every car has a Message section: message the technicians, message the advisor, or text the customer. And when a car is stuck, AI help finds the bottleneck and drafts the next message for you.

Questions

Traffic Cop, answered.

How is the risk score calculated?

It weighs how close or past the promised time is, whether parts are in, whether labor has started against sold hours, and how long the car has sat in its current stage. The reasons are always shown next to the score.

Does it replace my board?

No. Your board keeps the columns your shop defines. Traffic Cop sits on top and ranks the same cars by risk, so a calm-looking board can't hide a late car.

Who should open it?

Service writers and shop managers, first thing in the morning and after every rush. Owners use the dashboard's promise-risk widget for the summary.

Does Torque AI use Traffic Cop?

Yes. Torque AI reads the same signals to propose assignments and follow-ups, and every action waits for your approval.
