Why mobile operators shops choose SalesThumb
Built for how you actually work — not a generic CRM with your logo on it.
Every workflow is specific to mobile operators. None of the auto-repair bloat.
Address-based scheduling
Drop jobs by street address; the app geocodes and calculates travel time per stop. Calendar shows the route, not just the bay.
Route optimization across the day
Daily route auto-orders stops by drive time. Add a same-day job and the route re-optimizes. Less windshield time, more billable time.
Offline-tolerant
No cell? No problem. Quote, photo-log, invoice, capture signatures, and run payment-on-arrival in the field. Everything syncs when you reconnect.
Tap-to-pay at the curb
Apple Pay, Google Pay, contactless card on your phone (no card reader needed). Customer pays before you leave; receipt texted instantly.
Customer portal without an app
No download required. Customers get a magic-link SMS — quote, signature, payment, photo gallery, reviews — all in their phone's browser. Zero friction.
Photo log per stop
Before/after photos per address. Customer gets a branded gallery; you have time-stamped, GPS-tagged evidence for any later dispute.
A typical mobile operators job, end-to-end
From inquiry to rebook — automated where it should be.
- 1
Customer books online
Picks a service + address + window. Booking auto-checks your route capacity for that day — only shows windows that actually fit.
- 2
Deposit + route slot
Customer pays deposit. Stop is dropped into the day's route at the optimal position; full route re-orders if needed.
- 3
Day-of route brief
Driver opens 'My Day' on the mobile app: ordered stop list, drive times, customer notes, photos, service checklist per stop.
- 4
Service performed + photo log
Per-stop photo log (before/after). Offline-tolerant — captures even without cell. Inventory deducts when reconnected.
- 5
Tap-to-pay before leaving
Final invoice rendered on the phone. Customer taps Apple/Google Pay or contactless card. Receipt texted. You drive to the next stop.
- 6
Review + rebook
Review request auto-fires 4 hours later. Maintenance-plan customers auto-rebook at the optimal cadence. Recurring revenue, no chasing.

Automations
Build rules like 'when a quote is approved, send a deposit SMS and add a calendar hold.' Everything that happens repeatedly should be automated — and nothing should slip through.

Customer portal
Operator hits 'Send portal link' on any customer → customer gets an SMS with a 30-day token. Lands at /portal/<token>. No password, no app install required.

FAQ
Mobile operators shop questions, answered.
Does it work offline?
+
Yes. Quote, photo-log, invoice, capture signatures, and run tap-to-pay in the field with no cell service. Everything syncs when you reconnect. Photos and signatures are queued locally and persisted to the cloud as soon as you're back online.
Can I take payment at the curb?
+
Yes. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless card via your phone — no extra card reader. Customer taps their phone or card on yours; receipt texts instantly. Cash, ACH, and saved-card-on-file all supported too.
How does route optimization work?
+
Your day's stops auto-order by drive time + customer windows. Add a same-day job and the route re-optimizes. Driver opens 'My Day' to see the ordered list, drive times, and per-stop notes.
Do customers need to download an app?
+
No. Customers get a magic-link SMS that opens their portal in any phone browser — quote, signature, payment, photo gallery, review, rebook. Zero friction; works on iPhone and Android equally.
Can it handle recurring maintenance routes?
+
Yes. Weekly / bi-weekly / monthly maintenance customers auto-rebook at the optimal cadence; route optimizer groups them by neighborhood automatically. Auto-charge their card on file; auto-text confirmation the day before.
Does it geocode customer addresses correctly?
+
Yes. Addresses are validated and geocoded at booking; gate codes and access notes save to the customer record. Driver gets a one-tap nav-to-stop link in the route brief.
Will it work if I run both mobile and a fixed location?
+
Yes. Switch between bay-based and address-based scheduling per appointment. Same customer record, same calendar, same inbox. Common setup for shops adding a mobile service to a brick-and-mortar.
Free trial?
+
30 days free, no credit card. Cancel anytime.
