Why window tint shops choose SalesThumb
Built for how you actually work — not a generic CRM with your logo on it.
Every workflow is specific to window tint. None of the auto-repair bloat.
Film catalog that actually tracks VLT
Every roll tagged with brand, series, VLT %, ceramic/carbon/dyed type, and warranty years. Quote with one tap; no more digging through PDFs for spec sheets.
Roll-by-lot inventory
Track every 60-inch roll by lot, length remaining, supplier, and cost. Low-stock alerts before you run out mid-install.
Window-set pricing per vehicle class
Pre-built pricing matrices for sedan / coupe / SUV / truck — two-front, full vehicle, sunroof add-on. Customers see a real quote in 30 seconds.
Lifetime warranty registration + PDF certs
Auto-generate branded warranty certificates with VIN, install date, film SKU, installer, and your shop's terms. Customers can pull theirs from the portal forever.
Stop using auto-repair software
ShopMonkey, Tekmetric, Mitchell — they're built for oil changes, not film. SalesThumb skips the parts ordering, labor matrix, and DVI flows you'll never touch.
Two-way SMS that follows the car
Quote, deposit, arrival reminder, in-progress photo, ready-for-pickup, review request — every text threaded to the right vehicle and customer.

“We switched from a generic shop CRM and the film catalog alone paid for the software in the first month. Quoting a Tesla used to be a 10-minute hunt for the right VLT pricing. Now it's 30 seconds.”

FAQ
Window tint shop questions, answered.
Does SalesThumb handle ceramic film like 3M Crystalline or LLumar IRX?
+
Yes. The film catalog tracks brand, series, VLT, film type (ceramic coating, carbon, dyed, metallized, hybrid IR), and warranty years per SKU. Add any roll — 3M, LLumar, SunTek, Solar Gard, Avery Dennison, XPEL, Rayno — and quote with the right specs automatically.
Can I quote by vehicle class?
+
Yes. Set a per-class price for sedan, coupe, SUV, truck, mid-size, and exotic. Add window-set upsells (sunroof, rear privacy, removal of old tint, ceramic upgrade). The online booking page returns a real quote without you touching it.
Does it track roll inventory by length?
+
Yes. Every 60-inch roll is tracked by lot ID, length remaining, supplier, and landed cost. Installers log the linear feet consumed per install — the roll deducts in real time and low-stock alerts fire at your reorder point.
Do customers get a warranty certificate?
+
Auto-generated PDF on every install. Includes VIN, install date, film SKU, installer, your shop terms, and a unique warranty ID. Customers can re-download forever from the customer portal. Tint Wholesale and major film brands accept these for manufacturer claims.
Will it work for a mobile tint operation?
+
Yes. Use the mobile app to quote, invoice, take payment, and photo-log jobs on site. Offline-tolerant — anything you do offline syncs when you reconnect. See /built-for/mobile for the full mobile-installer feature set.
How does it compare to ShopMonkey or Tekmetric for tint?
+
ShopMonkey and Tekmetric are built for general auto repair — labor matrices, parts ordering, DVI, work orders. None of that applies to film. SalesThumb skips the bloat and gives you the film-specific tooling: VLT-aware catalog, roll tracking, warranty PDFs, vehicle-class pricing. See /compare/shopmonkey for a side-by-side.
Can I run tint and PPF under one roof?
+
Yes. Enable both verticals and the right modules light up — film catalog for tint, coverage-area pricing for PPF, manufacturer warranties for both. One customer record, one calendar, one inbox. See /features/hq for multi-vertical setup.
Is there a free trial?
+
We're launching soon. At launch every shop gets a 30-day free trial — no credit card, cancel anytime, migration support included. Join the waitlist for early access.
