BenchBook demo

BenchBook in your browser, on a CNC workshop a year and a half in: about 3,000 jobs and 400 customers. Add a job or take a payment, and switch on Google Sheet sync to see the Sheet beside the phone change with it. Next morning, 09:00 moves a day ahead to show payment reminders. Reset demo starts over, and Fresh install shows first-run setup. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

Your Google Sheet and Drive

BenchBook
One file per financial year, all in the folder BenchBook – your business, with BenchBook files. Edit the cells you can see; the app checks them on its next sync. Folded columns are the app's.

Sync log

1 · Set up once

Business name, trade, currency, time zone, tax and invoice details. All of it is editable later in Settings, and it prints on every invoice.

2 · Save locally first

Every add or edit goes into the app's own database instantly, with a timestamp and an "unsynced" flag (the amber dot).

3 · Push when online

A small queue sends unsynced rows to the Sheet in one batch. Offline, the queue just grows.

4 · Pull Sheet edits

Rows changed in the Sheet carry a newer timestamp, so the next sync copies them into the app. Newest edit wins.

5 · Restore as it was

Reinstall, sign in with the same Google account, and records, settings and the logo come back. Only changes never synced are lost.
