SalesThumb Tint Shop Software
The operating system for auto service shops.
From the first customer inquiry to the final invoice — every part of your shop workflow in one clean, fast platform built specifically for tint, detailing, PPF, ceramic coating, and wrap businesses. Self-serve signup is open: no waitlist, no credit card required to start.
Also on mobile: App Store · Google Play
What we've built
Running in production
at the founding shop.
These are screenshots of the live product — running daily at the founder's own window tint shop.
app.salesthumb.com
01
Operator dashboard
“Your shop at a glance” with at-a-glance KPIs, revenue trend, close rate, and the Run-the-shop sidebar — plus one-tap Sales Matrix, New Quote, New Invoice, and Book Appointment from the header.
02
Sales Matrix — pricing by vehicle type
Set tint and PPF pricing once per vehicle type — sedan, coupe, SUV, truck — and every quote, invoice, and kiosk package prices itself from the matrix. No recalculating film and labor on every job.
03
Quotes & follow-ups
Send quotes customers read and sign on their phone, see which ones were viewed or are about to expire, and resend with one tap.
04
Invoicing & payments
Tint-specific line items, deposit collection, balance-due payment links, and customer sign-off — all in one record. The invoice ledger pairs with audit logs so every dollar is traceable.
AI built in
Every AI here drafts, you approve
Every AI tool is advisory and metered: it drafts, you approve, and the analytics tools compute the real figures in code first so the AI can never invent a price or a customer. SalesThumb is live at the founding shop and built for the real work of tint, PPF, ceramic, and detail.
01 / 05 Sell & convert
Turn quotes and slow days into booked jobs
This is the revenue engine, and every piece of it drafts for your approval rather than acting on its own. Snap a photo with Photo to Tint Draft and it IDs the vehicle, matches your tint type, and drafts Good / Better / Best at your own retail prices, while Quote Suggest turns a plain-English job description into structured line items pulled from your menu. Pricing stays strictly advisory: Dynamic Pricing Advisor returns a floor / target / stretch band computed from your own catalog and how booked you are, and never moves a price; Pricing Insight flags Raise / Reduce / Hold / Reposition per service from real close rates, but you decide what to apply. When pipeline goes cold, Quote Win-Back and Fill My Slow Days draft the follow-up texts and campaigns for you to edit, and No-Show Risk drafts a confirmation nudge for shaky appointments. Nothing is sent until you press send.

02 / 05 Inspect & protect
Document every car so disputes answer themselves
Vision AI turns your phone into a record that protects the shop, and in every case a person makes the final call. Intake Damage Scan maps pre-existing scratches, dents, and chips by severity at check-in, so a later he-said dispute is answered straight from the timestamped intake photo. Install QC reviews the finished work for bubbles, lifting edges, debris, and uneven cuts and returns a pass / review / rework flag — but it's the tech who decides, not the model. Claim Triage reads a warranty photo against your own tier rules and recommends approve / deny / escalate with its reasoning, leaving the actual approval to a human. None of these write a record or close a claim on their own.

Read your shop in plain English, grounded in real numbers
Ask Business Analyst about revenue, margins, or your best customers and it answers only from your real figures, which are computed in code before the AI ever sees them — so it cannot fabricate a number or invent a customer. Demand Forecast projects the next few weeks from your own bookings and quotes with staffing and film-stock hints, while the End-of-Day Brief and AI Ops Assistant surface what slipped, what's urgent, and where money is sitting on the table. Review Themes clusters what customers love and what to fix, and AI Review Responder drafts an on-brand reply to each Google review for you to edit and post — nothing is auto-published.

04 / 05 Run the shop
Stay stocked and keep warranties on schedule
The day-to-day plumbing that keeps a shop from dropping balls, and like the rest of the suite it suggests rather than acts. Inventory Reorder watches your film and supply levels and flags low stock before you run out, then assembles a suggested reorder list — but you place the actual order. Maintenance Reminders tracks warrantied ceramic and PPF customers and drafts recoat and inspection-due notices as each one comes due, so warranty touchpoints don't quietly slip; it's read-only, and only the reminders you approve ever go out. Both run on your real records, so nothing is invented.

Hands-off booking, when you choose to turn it on
These are the only two tools in SalesThumb that would ever act on their own, and neither is enabled today. AI Receptionist would answer calls and texts and book jobs autonomously, and AI Dispatcher would reply by SMS and book without a human in the loop. They're on the roadmap, gated off, and not yet enabled — everything else in SalesThumb stays advisory by design, and these stay parked until you decide they're ready and switch them on yourself.

Feature deep dive
10 features that change
how your shop operates.
Not just what SalesThumb does — but why each one matters for a tint, PPF, or detailing shop specifically.
01
The Job Board: your whole shop on one screen
Every active job — what it is, who owns it, and exactly where it stands — without asking anyone. The job board replaces your whiteboard, your group chat, and the daily "hey, where's that car?" conversation.
- Six live statuses (Pending → Accepted → Scheduled → In Progress → Completed → Released) update in real time as techs move jobs forward
- Filter by technician, service type, or date range — see only what's relevant to the next few hours without scrolling through noise
- One click opens the full job card — customer, vehicle, services, deposit status, photos, and notes all in one place

Scheduling built for bays, not boardrooms
Office scheduling tools don't know your bays, your average install time, or the fact that a full PPF job can't share a tech with a same-day ceramic coat. SalesThumb's calendar knows your shop — and customers can book themselves while you're in the bay.
- Day, week, and month views with per-technician lanes — see bay utilization at a glance and fill open slots before they cost you
- Online booking widget captures service type, vehicle, and deposit before the customer ever calls — your calendar fills 24/7 without staff involvement
- Automatic text and email reminders cut no-shows without any extra work from your team
03
AI Photo-to-Quote: a price from a photo
A customer texts a photo of their car and asks "how much?" — in most shops that means manually looking up the vehicle, counting windows, pulling your film menu, and doing the math. SalesThumb does all of it in under 10 seconds.
- Upload any vehicle photo and the AI identifies year, make, model, and approximate window count automatically — no VIN, no searching
- Pulls your active film menu and labor rates to generate an accurate quote, pre-filled and ready to send via SMS or email
- Convert the quote to a booked job in one click — customer details pre-filled, deposit link attached, slot on the calendar

A CRM that remembers what your techs forget
When a customer calls back three years after their install and asks about their warranty — or wants to add PPF to the same car — you want to know exactly what film went in, what it cost, and what they preferred. That knowledge shouldn't live in a single employee's head.
- Every vehicle gets its own record — film type, window positions, installation notes, before/after photos, and full job history permanently attached
- Staff notes survive turnover — the new hire sees exactly what the last tech learned about that customer's preferences and quirks
- Search by name, phone number, VIN, or vehicle make/model — any customer found in under 2 seconds
05
Invoicing that speaks tint, PPF, and detail
Generic invoicing tools make you type "Window tint — front driver door" as a manual text field every single time. SalesThumb has film types, window positions, and labor rates pre-configured so a complete invoice takes under 60 seconds — and links directly to the job record.
- Dropdown line items for every window position, film brand, and service category — no free-typing, no inconsistency, no missed lines
- Deposit tracking built in — what was collected at booking automatically offsets the balance due at pickup
- Send via SMS or email with a one-tap payment link — customers pay before or at pickup, not a week later after they've forgotten

Warranty certs that generate themselves
A warranty certificate is one of the most important documents your shop produces — and one of the most commonly lost or incorrectly filled out. When a job closes in SalesThumb, the cert is done. No manual input, no PDF template, no "I'll email it later."
- Film brand, window positions, install date, and coverage terms pulled straight from the job record — no transcription, no errors
- PDF emailed to the customer the moment the job closes and stored permanently against their vehicle — visible the next time they call
- When a customer comes back two years later about a warranty claim, you have the documentation in two seconds, not a filing cabinet search
07
A mobile app techs will actually use
Your techs aren't going to log into a desktop app from the bay. SalesThumb's mobile app was built for people whose hands have tint film on them — big buttons, fast status taps, and photo capture that doesn't require a workflow to figure out.
- Techs see their assigned jobs for the day the moment they open the app — no morning briefing, no group chat, no printed schedule
- Before and after photo capture is one tap on the job card — photos attach to the permanent record automatically, no uploads, no naming
- Update status, add notes, and clock in and out with a tap — the front desk sees progress in real time without walking the floor

Payments built in — no Square, no chasing
Every "I'll Venmo you" or "can I pay next time" is money you might not see. SalesThumb collects a deposit at booking and the balance at job close — built directly into the workflow so payment is part of the process, not an afterthought you have to chase.
- Card payments, deposits and refunds work natively — no third-party app, no separate reconciliation (card payments are US-only, in US dollars)
- Deposit at booking creates financial commitment and dramatically reduces no-shows — the slot is held because something was paid for it
- Send a payment link via SMS if a customer leaves before paying — they tap once, pay, and the invoice closes automatically
09
SMS blasts that actually get read
Email marketing for a tint shop gets ignored. A text to past customers about a spring PPF special gets opened in under 3 minutes. SalesThumb's blast tool lets you reach your own customer list — not a rented audience, the people who've already paid you and trust your work.
- Segment by service type — send PPF promos only to tint customers who might be ready to protect their paint next
- Automated review requests trigger 24 hours after a job closes — when the customer is still happy and the install is still fresh in their mind
- Full send, open, and click tracking so you can see which campaigns convert and run them again

Reports that actually run your business
Generic dashboards give you numbers without context. SalesThumb's reporting was designed around the questions shop owners actually ask — which service makes the most money, who's your best tech, are you trending up or down this month — and answers them without any configuration or setup.
- Revenue broken down by service type so you know whether to push tint, PPF, or detail in the next quarter — and where to price to protect margins
- Technician performance shows who's fast, who generates callbacks, and whose customers come back — so you can staff and incentivize intentionally
- Multi-location owners get a unified HQ view across all shops, all revenue, all jobs — run the portfolio, not just one store

Six more screens from the live product — from the marketing site to the operator workspace.
See which quotes were viewed or are about to expire, and resend with one tap — so fewer quotes quietly lapse.
Inbound leads on a drag-to-restage Kanban board, from new inquiry to booked job — with service-reminder automation that catches the leads most shops lose between texts.
Bay-aware scheduling and online booking that works around your real calendar — with automatic reminders to cut no-shows.
Every customer, every vehicle, every job in one record — full history, notes, and vehicle specs at the fingertips of whoever answers the phone.
Revenue by service type, close rate, and the numbers you actually need to run the shop — not a generic dashboard you have to configure.
Film rolls tracked by what’s left, low-stock alerts and purchase orders — so you reorder before you run out.
The problem
Most tint shops run on
spreadsheets and sticky notes
Generic small business tools were never designed around how a window tint, PPF, or detailing shop actually operates.
Scheduling
Appointment books, group texts, and phone calls. Double-bookings happen. Customers don't know when to show up. Technicians find out their day at the door.
Invoicing
Generic invoicing apps don't know what nano-ceramic or PPF is. Manual line items every time. No connection to the job record or the customer's vehicle history.
Warranty certificates
Fill-in PDFs or handwritten cards. No digital record. When a customer comes back two years later about their warranty, you're digging through a filing cabinet.
Customer records
Vehicle specs, film preferences, previous jobs — all in someone's head or scattered across notes apps. Impossible to hand off to staff. Won't scale past one location.
How it works
From first call to
warranty cert in minutes.
SalesThumb runs the complete job lifecycle — so nothing falls through the cracks and your customer always knows exactly what's happening.
1
Book the job
Customer books online or you add it manually. Vehicle details, film type, install position, and deposit captured upfront — so the job is fully staged before the car arrives.
2
Run the job
Technicians see their assigned jobs on their phone, clock in, capture before/after photos, and log status updates in real time. You see everything from the dashboard without walking the floor.
3
Close it out
The customer gets a branded invoice link, signs off and pays by card from their own phone, and receives the invoice plus a warranty certificate automatically — all before they leave the parking lot.
Features
Everything your shop needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built after spending real time in real shops. Every feature earns its place.
Customer & Vehicle CRM
Every customer, every vehicle, every job tracked in one place. Full history, notes, and vehicle specs always at your fingertips — no matter who answers the phone.
Scheduling & Online Booking
Online booking that works around your real calendar. Customers book themselves and get automatic reminders. No more phone tag, no more no-shows.
Professional Invoicing
Create detailed invoices in seconds with tint-specific line items. Film type, install position, labor, discounts. Send via SMS or email and get paid faster.
Integrated Payments & Deposits
Accept card payments directly. Require a deposit at booking. Collect on pickup. Send a payment link. All payment flows built in — no third-party app.
Warranty Certificates
Branded tint film warranty certs auto-generate on job completion. PDF, digital record, stored permanently — the right film, install date, and customer attached automatically.
Multi-location & HQ Dashboard
Run more than one shop with the paid HQ add-on: one dashboard across every location, per-shop comparison reports and leaderboards, an underperforming-locations alert, and broadcast messages to the whole chain. A separate Franchise Sales add-on covers selling new franchise units.
AI helpers you approve
AI drafts replies, summaries and quotes for you to approve — nothing is sent on its own. Growth adds a daily summary, a sorted inbox and reply drafts; Pro adds photo-to-quote, a photo quality check and an AI assistant with a ranked daily to-do list.
Kanban leads pipeline
Inbound leads land on a drag-to-restage Kanban board — from new inquiry through booked job. Service-reminder automation and playbook-failure alerts catch the leads your team would otherwise lose between texts and missed callbacks.
Your shop’s name and colors
The setup wizard asks for your shop’s name, trade, hours and brand color. Customers sign in to the customer app with a texted code and see your shop’s name inside (Growth and Pro). A fully white-labeled app under your own brand is on the roadmap, not live yet.
Mobile App for Technicians
Your techs see today's assigned jobs, update status, capture before/after photos, add notes, and clock in and out — no paper, no clipboard, no running back to the desk.
Reporting & Analytics
Revenue by service type, job completion rates, technician performance. The numbers you actually need to run the business — not a generic dashboard you have to configure.
Sales Matrix — pricing by vehicle type
Set tint and PPF pricing once per vehicle type — sedan, coupe, SUV, truck — and every quote, invoice, and kiosk package prices itself from the matrix. No recalculating film and labor on every job, and no underpricing the big vehicles.
Self-serve pricing kiosk
A customer-facing kiosk prices a job in seconds: pick the vehicle type, pick the package, see the price. A car-layout window picker lights up exactly which windows are included — the same visual picker your team uses on quotes and invoices, so the counter and the kiosk always agree.
Guided teaching wizards
New hires learn by doing. Guided walkthroughs show a new hire where everything is and walk each person through the workflows for their role. Included on every plan, and basic setup takes about 30 minutes.
Flat Glass — architectural & commercial film
Flat glass is one of SalesThumb’s five shop types: a solar-control film catalog with brand, series, VLT and warranty length, a measure-to-quote estimator with room-based estimating, and multi-floor commercial bids with takeoff and multi-day labor phasing. Running flat glass alongside auto needs more than one shop type, which Growth and Pro include.

How it stacks up
SalesThumb vs. what shops
are using right now
Most shops adapt general auto-repair platforms or light scheduling tools that were never designed around tint, PPF, or detailing. SalesThumb is purpose-built around the actual workflow.

Common questions
Things shop owners ask us.
What kinds of shops is SalesThumb built for?
Window tint shops, auto detailing studios, paint protection film (PPF) installers, and vinyl wrap shops. SalesThumb is purpose-built for shops with vehicle-based work — not a generic CRM with custom fields bolted on.
Does SalesThumb generate tint warranty certificates?
Yes. SalesThumb generates branded tint warranty certificates automatically when a job is completed and emails them to the customer. Certificates are stored permanently against the vehicle record so re-issues take seconds.
Can technicians use SalesThumb on their phones?
Yes. There is a dedicated mobile app for technicians for clocking in and out, viewing assigned jobs, capturing before-and-after photos, adding notes, and updating job status in real time. Customer sign-off and payment happen on the customer-facing invoice link, not in the technician app.
How does SalesThumb compare to ShopMonkey or Tekmetric?
ShopMonkey and Tekmetric are general auto-repair platforms. SalesThumb is built specifically for tint, detailing, and PPF shops — so things like film coverage, install positions, and warranty certificates are first-class features instead of bolted-on custom fields.
How does SalesThumb compare to TintWiz?
TintWiz is a lightweight scheduling tool used by some tint shops. SalesThumb goes further — it covers the full job lifecycle from booking through payment, includes a native mobile app for technicians, generates branded warranty certificates automatically, supports multi-location operations with an HQ dashboard, and is built on a modern stack that scales as your shop grows.
How does SalesThumb compare to OrbizX?
OrbizX is a general-purpose field service platform adapted by some shops. SalesThumb is purpose-built for tint, detailing, and PPF from day one — which means film types, install positions, vehicle records, and warranty certificates are native features, not workarounds. There is no configuration tax to make it fit a tint shop because it was designed around one.
Can I run multiple shop locations on SalesThumb?
Yes. Multi-location shops get an HQ dashboard that aggregates revenue, jobs, and team performance across every shop, plus per-location settings, pricing, and inventory.
Does SalesThumb take payments?
Yes. You can take card payments online, ask for a deposit when a customer books, and collect tips. Each shop sets up its own payout account, so the money goes straight to the shop's bank. Card payments are US-only (in US dollars) today.
Is SalesThumb available now?
Yes. SalesThumb launched in September 2026 and is open for self-serve signup at salesthumb.com — no waitlist and no credit card required to start. You can also click around a sample shop in the Test Drive, and the iPhone and Android app is on the App Store and Google Play.
What is the best shop management software for window tint businesses?
SalesThumb is purpose-built for window tint, detailing, and PPF shops in the United States. Unlike general auto-repair platforms (ShopMonkey, Tekmetric), lightweight scheduling tools (TintWiz), or adapted field service apps (OrbizX), SalesThumb models film coverage, install positions, and warranty certificates as first-class features — not add-ons.
How do I manage multiple tint shop locations with one software?
Yes, with the paid HQ add-on. SalesThumb supports multi-location operations with a centralized HQ dashboard. Each location has its own calendar, staff, inventory, and pricing; the HQ view aggregates revenue, job volume, and team performance across every shop in real time.
Does SalesThumb work for mobile detailing businesses?
Yes. SalesThumb supports mobile detailing and mobile tint operations alongside in-shop work. The Starter plan is aimed at solo operators and mobile detailers: book jobs, send quotes customers sign on their phone, take card payments and deposits, and give technicians the iPhone and Android app for assigned jobs and before-and-after photos. Check the pricing page for what each plan includes.
