For the people who keep the bays running
Sites, bays, equipment, and supplies — on one screen. No tech background needed.
Which bays are down, what equipment is due for service, what chemicals are running low — it's all scattered or in someone's head. This tool puts it on one screen so you catch trouble early. Then a real person builds the real thing for your sites, using your numbers.
Picture the pegboard on the wall — every tool in its spot, so one glance tells you what's there and what's missing. Right now your operation's information isn't like that. A pump that's overdue for service is in one place, a low drum of presoak is in another, and which bay is down is whatever the last person remembered.
A dashboard is a pegboard for that information: one screen where a glance tells you which bays are open and earning, which equipment is due, and what to reorder before you run out. Green means fine, yellow means watch it, red means handle it now.
Go to the Build Studio and click "Start building." No account, no password.
Click the screens you want from the left. Not sure? Click "Help me choose" and pick your kind of business.
Each one has a "Show me" button that opens the live dashboard on its own page (sample numbers), with how long it takes to build, a ballpark price (a typical range, not a quote), and roughly how many hours a week it saves. Time saved is an estimate that varies with your data, connections and setup — and every dashboard is customized, which is why the price varies.
Click "Send to TNDS," answer a couple quick questions, and get a copy emailed to you. Or "Book a call" to talk. A real person — Jacob — gets back to you fast.
"Which bays are making money and what's about to break?"
Every wash bay (open and earning, or down), which equipment is due for service, and which chemicals or parts are running low so you reorder before you run dry.
Why it matters: a down bay is lost revenue every hour, and running out of soap or wax kills a busy Saturday. This shows the trouble early.
Runs on: your sites and equipment — what it is, when it was last serviced, when it's due, and which bay it's in.
"Is the business doing well this month, yes or no?"
The handful of big numbers an owner cares about — money in this month, profit margin, how busy you are, and the one risk worth watching — each with a green/yellow/red light.
Why it matters: you shouldn't have to dig through spreadsheets to know if the month is good or bad. One screen, one glance.
Runs on: your top numbers — the value now, the target, and whether it's trending up or down.
"Who's doing what, and what's stuck?"
A board of who owns which job across your sites, what's overdue, and what's blocked waiting on something before it can move.
Why it matters: jobs stop falling through the cracks; you see who needs a hand today, not at the end of the week.
Runs on: a list of tasks — who owns it, when it's due, and whether it's done, in progress, or blocked.
The previews use pretend numbers. To make a screen show your sites, somebody fills in your numbers. That's the Excel data template — think of it like a log sheet or a reorder list.
It has one tab (one page) per screen — a "Car Wash Operations" tab, a "Subscription Audit" tab, and so on. Each tab has column titles across the top like "Equipment," "Next Due," "Bay Status." You fill in the rows underneath with your real numbers, the same way you'd fill in a log.
2026-07-15; money is just the number (180); percents just the number (91).Keep the log current, and the board lights up by itself.

The whole point is that a human builds it for your sites — you don't figure it out alone.
