# 🏷️ Repair Statuses

#### 🧰 Key Features

<br>

**📣 Clear Communication**

<br>

Define and assign specific statuses to each repair order, making it easy to track progress and provide timely updates to customers. Each status represents a distinct stage in the repair process, such as:

* *Pending Review*
* *In Progress*
* *Awaiting Parts*
* *Completed*
* *Delivered*

<br>

> This lets customers know exactly where their repair stands, reducing uncertainty and improving satisfaction.

***

**⏱️ Timely Customer Updates**

<br>

When a repair order is updated with a new status, the customer can be notified (via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, depending on your settings). This keeps them engaged and eliminates the need for them to call and ask for updates.

***

**⚙️ Fully Customizable**

<br>

You’re not limited to predefined statuses. Create and name repair statuses that fit your unique repair process or business terminology.

<br>

For example:

* “Inspection Complete.”
* “Board Level Repair”
* “Payment Pending”

<br>

Custom statuses ensure clarity for both technicians and customers, while aligning with how your team actually works.

***

**💡 Enhanced Customer Experience**

<br>

When customers stay in the loop, it builds trust. Keeping them informed throughout the repair journey shows professionalism and transparency, leading to higher customer retention and satisfaction.

### 🛠️ Repair Status Management

Update the name or label of any existing status to better fit your operations or communication tone.

#### 💬 Use Case Example<br>

A technician updates a repair order to “Awaiting Parts”, triggering a quick reply or notification to the customer.

This lets the customer know there’s a delay and avoids unnecessary follow-up calls or confusion.
