A product by ArcSmiths
Most studios hand over a repo and walk away. Arcbay is the opposite: our own product, a fully-managed website and back office for local service businesses, which we design, operate, and answer the phone for. A 25-year-old car wash, a smog station, and a residential real-estate practice all run on it today.
Every Arcbay client gets a hand-designed website on their own domain and an owner dashboard that speaks their trade’s language — bays and washes for one, chairs and rebookings for another, deals and deadlines for another again. Underneath it is one well-built platform, not a template with a logo swapped in.
It began as software for a single car wash. When the next business wanted most of the same thing, we did the harder and better thing: made the platform generic enough that adding a trade is configuration, not a fork. That is why a car wash and a real-estate brokerage now run on the same system with no branching between them — and why we can take on a trade we haven’t built before.
And we run it — the domain, the DNS, the hosting, the Google Business Profile, the support. The owner never touches a nameserver.
Strip away the vocabulary and nearly every local business is either filling a calendar or moving work through stages. Arcbay treats both as first-class, which is what makes the range wide.
A schedule
The calendar is the product.
Real capacity against bays, chairs, rooms or staff. Walk-ins beside online bookings. Punch-card loyalty, reminders, review requests.
Car washes · Smog · Detailing · Salons · Grooming
A pipeline
The deal is the product.
Leads captured with the browsing trail behind them, stages named by the client, and deadlines that create themselves as work advances.
Real estate · Home services · Property management
The full trade list lives on arcbay.app.

Santee, CA · in business 25+ yrs
Arcbay’s first client. Booking site, punch-card loyalty, front-desk kiosk and staff dashboard — all built by us and all still run by us.
“We get $300 details booked from the website almost every day now.” — Owner, Magnolia Car Wash
San Diego, CA · residential real estate
No bookings, no loyalty, no bays — the opposite shape of business. A bespoke listing site where every enquiry arrives with the searches behind it, a seven-stage deal pipeline, and California’s statutory deadlines created automatically once a deal goes under contract.
None of it needed a new column, a migration, or a change to a line of car-wash code. Same platform, different trade.
04 — Get it
Everything about the product — what it includes, which trades it covers, what it costs, and the application form — lives on its own site.
Arcbay is our own product: a fully-managed website and operations platform for local service businesses. Every client gets a bespoke site on their own domain plus an owner dashboard shaped to their trade, and we run the whole thing — hosting, domain, and Google Business Profile included.
Local service businesses generally. It started in auto care — a car wash, then a smog station — and now also runs a residential real-estate practice, which is a completely different shape of business. Salons, detailers, groomers, home services, med spas and property managers are all covered by the same engine. The full list lives on arcbay.app.
Because the second client wanted most of what the first one had. Rather than fork a codebase per business, we built one platform where a new trade is a configuration pack plus a hand-designed storefront. That is why a car wash and a real-estate brokerage now run on the same system with no branching between them.
On arcbay.app — that is the product site, and it has the application form, the full trade list, and what the platform includes.
