Choose a workflow for your business

Practical patterns for connecting customers, services, work, payments and customer care.

Heyllave combines customer records, catalog, bookings, work orders, documents, invoicing and communication. The right workflow depends on how your team receives work and which modules and permissions are active.

Choose a starting point

If your business…Start withWorkflow to organize
Receives equipment or vehicles for diagnosis and repairRepair shops and workshops →Customer and asset → appointment or intake → work order → parts and labor → invoice and follow-up
Delivers items to customers and handles follow-up requestsDeliveries, returns and replacements →Partial delivery → outstanding balance → return, refund or replacement
Serves people by appointmentDental practices →Customer → service and professional → booking → operational follow-up → document or invoice
Takes reservations for tables, spaces or groupsRestaurants →Booking service → resource and time → reservation → changes and communication

These examples combine existing capabilities. They do not enable modules or change your workspace configuration automatically.

Before you configure

  1. Decide what information your team needs to keep and who may see it.
  2. Enable only the modules involved in the chosen workflow.
  3. Configure entities, services, resources and roles before inviting the whole team.
  4. Test the complete flow with test data and verify access, statuses, inventory and invoicing.
  5. Make clear which action confirms a booking, delivery, work order or payment.

Permissions and configuration toggles are separate controls: enabling a feature does not grant a person access. Review roles and permissions, modules and how modules work together.

If something doesn’t work

If a flow on this page mentions a screen you do not have, there are two possible causes and they are worth telling apart: the module is off, or your role does not include that permission. Enabling a module grants no permissions, and widening a role enables no modules. Check modules and roles and permissions, in that order.
