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.

Improved SMS notifications for fixed-site customers
SMS language suited to fixed-site booking statuses — "We've got your car" / "We're working on your car" / "Your car is ready to pick up" — instead of the mobile-valeting wording like "We're on our way" / "We've arrived" / "We've finished".
