Automated Fleetio Mechanic Workload Digest
Every Monday, WebRun opens Fleetio, retrieves all open and in-progress work orders, tallies the assigned labor hours and task count for each mechanic, highlights imbalances where one technician is carrying significantly more than others, and posts a workload digest to Slack so your shop supervisor can redistribute at the start of the week.
How do I get a weekly mechanic workload balance report from Fleetio?
WebRun tallies every open and in-progress Fleetio work order by mechanic every Monday, calculates each technician's labor hours and load percentage, and posts the workload digest to Slack before the morning shift starts. Overloaded mechanics are flagged so your shop supervisor can redistribute tasks before delays build up across the week.
- Workload imbalances are surfaced every Monday before delays compound through the week
- Supervisor sees overloaded and available mechanics side by side for easy redistribution
- Shop throughput improves as tasks are spread evenly across available technicians

Questions, answered
Will it reassign work orders between mechanics automatically?
No. Reassigning a work order requires knowing each mechanic's skill set and current vehicle familiarity, so WebRun surfaces the imbalance and leaves the redistribution decision to the shop supervisor.
What if estimated labor hours are not set on some work orders?
WebRun uses task count as the fallback metric when labor hours are missing, and flags those work orders so the supervisor knows the load estimate may be understated for that mechanic.
Does it account for mechanics on leave or part-time schedules?
You can note in the setup which technicians are unavailable that week, and WebRun will exclude them from the active roster so the workload comparison reflects only available staff.
