Roadmap
The Automate product roadmap
Automate is booking and CRM software for UK mobile valeters and detailers, and it changes every month. This page is the live roadmap: what is being built right now, what is planned next, and what has already shipped. Everything here came from a valeter or detailer asking for it — nothing is invented in a meeting room.
