People
Staff accounts, roles and permissions, attendance, training and recruitment - built around who actually does what in the business.
Laurus Operating System
One operating system. Every part of your business connected.
The connected operating system behind Laurus businesses and technology built for external organisations - one platform for people, work, quality, communication and customers, built around how a business actually works.
Laurus Operating System is part of Laurus Group Ltd.
What is LOS
One shared operating system for the whole business
LOS is a shared digital operating system. Instead of running a business across separate spreadsheets, inboxes and disconnected apps, LOS keeps people, work and customers in one platform - with workflows shaped to each industry it supports. It is being developed and proven through real Laurus businesses and selected external organisations.
Work
Jobs and works orders, who they are allocated to and how far along they are - tracked from first request to completion.
Operations
Scheduling, routing and the day-to-day running of the business, in one place instead of scattered across spreadsheets.
Quality
Inspection records, non-conformance tracking and audit trails built into the workflow itself, not bolted on afterwards.
Communication
Customer and staff updates, notifications and secure messaging tied directly to the record they relate to.
Business visibility
Dashboards, priorities and performance drawn from one shared, access-controlled source of record - not re-keyed into separate reports.
Customers
Customer-facing portals, booking and self-service built on the same data staff already work from - not a separate system to keep in sync.
Industry-specific workflows
Modules shaped to how each industry actually works - from garage workshops to recruitment and manufacturing - on the same shared foundation.
Real interface examples
Real software, not concept art
Screenshots below are taken directly from Podium Vehicle Solutions' real customer dashboard - not a generic mock-up. Podium's real day-to-day workflows inform and help prove out the connected-system principles behind LOS and PaddockDesk.
Automotive · customer dashboard
Vehicle profile, health status, MOT and service summary, and what needs attention next - live inside Podium Vehicle Solutions.
Automotive · vehicle history
A chronological record view and real DVSA MOT data from Podium's own customer dashboard.
Flagship LOS product
PaddockDesk: the connected garage and workshop platform
The flagship automotive application of LOS - one connected system spanning the whole workshop journey, labelled honestly at its real stage today.
Reception & booking
A vehicle is checked in and a job opened against a single connected record.
Job card & diagnostics
Labour, parts, technician assignment, notes and diagnostics held against one central job card.
Technician execution
A phone and tablet view showing assigned and current jobs, with start, pause and complete controls.
Parts & supplier ordering
Parts are identified and tracked against the job. Live supplier search, pricing and ordering are still in development.
Vehicle health report
A structured, printable health report, shared with the customer alongside the job.
Invoice & payment
Invoices are raised from the job and tracked through to payment before a vehicle can be collected.
Customer handover
Health report, invoice and payment status brought together for a clear final handover.
PaddockDesk is in active alpha development. Reception, job management, technician workflow, vehicle health reporting, invoicing and handover are built and working; supplier parts ordering is still in development. Real workshop operations at Podium Vehicle Solutions are informing and helping prove out its design.
Solutions by industry
One platform, shaped to each industry it supports
Every business works differently. LOS modules are built around how each one actually works, labelled honestly at their real stage today.
Manufacturing
Works orders, attendance, competencies and training, inspections, NCRs and real-time production dashboards, with shop-floor terminals and production routing.
Developed and tested around real production and manufacturing workflows - not yet commercially available.
Recruitment / People
Candidate and employer portals, staff review workflows and day-to-day recruitment operations.

Security & infrastructure
Built on access control, not trust
LOS is built with the access and audit controls a real business needs from day one - described plainly, not as a list of certifications it doesn't hold.
Role-based access control
Every account - staff or customer - only ever sees what its role permits, enforced on every request, not just hidden in the interface.
Row-level data isolation
Each business's and each customer's data is scoped at the database level, not merely filtered out of a shared view.
Audited sensitive actions
High-impact actions - like permanently deleting a record - are logged with who, when and why, never silently irreversible.
Modern cloud infrastructure
Built on Cloudflare's global network and a managed, access-controlled Postgres database - not a single physical server.

For your business
LOS for organisations outside Laurus
LOS is being developed for selected external organisations as well as Laurus businesses. If your business runs on spreadsheets, paperwork and disconnected apps, talk to us about where LOS could help.
Built around how you work
LOS modules are shaped around your real workflows, rather than asking your team to work around the software.
Proven in real businesses
Every module is developed and tested in real Laurus businesses and selected external organisations before it is offered more widely.
Clear about what's ready
We will tell you plainly what is live today, what is still in development, and what is future direction.
