Ordre comes with templates for the trades below and stretches to the ones it doesn’t list. Use a template as it is, adjust it, or build your own phases and fields.
A wash and a full suspension rebuild are very different jobs, and Ordre handles both. Quick boards cover same-day work like tune-ups, flat repairs, and ski waxing. Full boards cover overhauls, custom builds, and insurance jobs where every photo and decision has to be on record.
High-value single pieces, weeks of patient work, and clients who can’t see the bench. The Full template covers intake, diagnosis, service, quality check, and ready, with every phase timestamped. Serial numbers and the owner’s details stay blurred until the client confirms their contact.

From a 40-minute oil change to an engine rebuild. Quick boards handle same-day work with a short list of stages. Full boards document long jobs with phases, diagnostic photos, and an approval request before any extra work starts. Clients drop the car off and stop calling.

Technology & ElectronicsQuick boards
Phone, laptop, and IT repair
Diagnosis, parts, and pickup on one page. Quick boards give every repair a clean, timestamped record without building a portal, so a client who dropped off a phone knows when to come back for it.

Freelance & CreativeFull boards
Freelancers, studios, agencies
Proofs, revisions, sign-offs, and final delivery live on one board per project. Approval requests replace the “I approved that in Slack” moment, and the whole revision history is one link away for you and the client.
A multi-week renovation and a season-long contract both fit. Full boards keep every change order on record with a timestamped approval. Recurring boards swap the phases for a visit schedule: each past visit gets its own report, and either side can ask to reschedule.
