Solutions
Built for the shop you actually run.
Tell shop fit who does which job. It picks the preset, merges the hats one person wears, and gives each person the rail for their work.

Solo Owner-Operator
One person runs the shop, so the owner-operator preset is the one built without departmental handoffs. 1 person on the payroll. 2 bays — the floor the shop has for work in progress.

| Leave the owner as the ownerThe merged bench job is held by the owner, who already clears the QC sign-off and the final approval as the accepting authority — no job and no platform-role change is sent for it. |

| Stop blocking on Manager Final ApprovalManager final approval no longer blocks: in a one-person shop it is the same human approving again after the QC sign-off. The QC sign-off stays required; the owner or a manager clears it. Applies to open jobs at their next phase move. |
One person, and the gates still hold.
Shop fit stops the second manager approval, not the check. The QC sign-off still blocks, the invoice still waits for verification, and the owner signs both as the accepting authority.

Each job opens its own queue.
Shop fit merges nothing and relaxes nothing here: the handoffs, the per-role queues and an independent QC sign-off stay as they are. The builder works from the build sheet, not the whole board.

Wholesale / Remanufacturing Center
The shop rebuilds units rather than only fitting them, which is the wholesale/remanufacturing preset. 6–15 people on the payroll. 8 bays — the floor the shop has for work in progress. Serialized units are taken alongside vehicles, so the serialized-unit module is added to the preset rather than replacing it.

| Fleet and dealer accounts need no new job: their work is authorized with a dealer PO at the counter, and the Fleet page already lists them. |
A unit, and the core that goes back for it.
A bench unit is tracked by its serial number rather than a VIN, fleet and dealer work is authorized on a dealer PO at the counter, and each core stays open until its credit lands.

Each shape is a set of example shop-fit answers. The rails and the review are what BayStacker’s own navigation and shop-fit code return for them; the screens hold the certification shop’s records.
What stays hard at every size
VIN
A vehicle diagnosis case still needs its VIN. Units that arrive without a vehicle are tracked by serial number instead.
Customer authorization
Only the customer can sign for the work and approve the estimate. Staff record it at the counter: in person, by phone, or on a dealer PO.
Verification
A managed job invoices, delivers and closes only after verification passes or is waived — whoever signs it.
