Everything below is fictional sample data. The equipment brands (Cat, Clark, Daewoo, Hyster, Kalmar, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Yale) and the staff names (Carolyn Douglas, Brook Douglas, Angela Wehage) reflect what IFS publishes about itself at ifssales.com. The customers, requests, dates, and statuses below are all invented for this demo and not real IFS records.
days with no stage change
Log a new request
Today this same volume splits across carolyn@, brook@, and angela@ ifssales.com depending who happens to answer. A real deployment shows this same queue to whoever is covering the desk that day.
Shared request queue, flagged first
Check the status of a request
Try IFS-4001 through IFS-4006 from the team view's sample queue, with the matching sample name.
How this gets built for real
The reference number is generated the moment a request comes in. A real build hands it to the customer immediately by phone, text, or email, whichever IFS's staff already use.
The stage set differs by request type here, and that stays configurable. A rental, a repair, and a parts order across eight equipment brands do not move through the same steps, and a real build matches how the shop actually works each one.
The status update here is a log entry, not a real send. A real build wires this to phone, text, or email so the customer's update actually goes out, and gives Carolyn, Brook, and Angela one shared view instead of three separate inboxes.
