FCD Core, the shop operating system built from a shop's own history
A scheduling and business-operations platform for detailing and film shops that reads calendars, price lists, and bookkeeping records before proposing each day's work.
Field notes
The intake sizes a shop by its operational history before setup, asking how far back calendars or other records go, which systems handle scheduling, and whether bookkeeping runs through QuickBooks, another service, spreadsheets, or an accountant. The stated workflow then builds a shop-specific tenant, reconstructs past days for review, and proposes future work. The page cites 28,000 appointments, 2,200-plus customers, and a founding shop using two connected QuickBooks companies.
