Milestones, badges, and a wall they actually care about.
Tint and detail shops are full of installers who quietly hit their 100th ceramic install or string together 30 perfect-review weeks — and nobody notices. SalesThumb's Awards system makes recognition automatic. A nightly cron watches the numbers your shop already tracks (revenue installed, five-star reviews collected, perfect weeks without a redo) and grants milestone badges the moment criteria are met. Each employee gets a collection wall on their profile. HQ rolls every shop's awards into one chain-wide leaderboard. And the awards an employee chooses to pin show up publicly on your booking page — turning recognition into a sales tool.

What's included
The full capability list.
Everything that ships on day one. No feature-gating surprises inside a single plan.
- 15 starter templates (100/500/1,000 installs, $100k revenue club, 30 perfect weeks, 50 five-star reviews, more)
- Auto-grant cron — nightly job evaluates criteria DSL per template
- Criteria DSL: revenue_cents, five_star_reviews, perfect_weeks, installs_count, tenure_days
- Per-employee collection wall at /app/profile/awards with earned + locked badges
- HQ org-wide rollup at /app/hq/[orgId]/awards — leaderboard across every shop
- Pinned awards surface publicly on the booking page as live social proof
- Manual-grant flow for one-off recognitions (owner can hand-award anytime)
- Audit log entry per grant — who got what, when, why
Who it's for
Built specifically for…
- Shops with 3+ installers who want to retain top talent without raising base pay
- Multi-location chains that need recognition consistency across locations
- Owners who keep meaning to celebrate big milestones but never get around to it
What it replaces
The old way…
- Plaques in the break room nobody updates after the first one
- The owner's mental note to 'do something nice for the team this quarter'
- Generic employee-of-the-month posters that get ignored after week 2
How it works
Set it up once. Run it forever.
- 1
1. Pick templates or define your own
Start with the 15 seeded templates (revenue clubs, install milestones, review streaks, perfect-week counts, tenure anniversaries). Or write your own using the criteria DSL — any combination of fields the system already tracks.
- 2
2. The cron grants automatically
A nightly Inngest job evaluates each active template against every employee's running totals. Eligible employees get the badge instantly — no manager review queue, no monthly check-in meeting required.
- 3
3. Recognition surfaces in three places
Profile wall (employee sees their collection + what's locked), HQ rollup (owner sees chain-wide leaderboard), public booking page (pinned badges show as live social proof to customers).
How a shop actually uses this
Marco at Sample Shop LLC quietly hit his 500th ceramic install on a Tuesday afternoon. The nightly auto-grant cron caught it at 2am, awarded the '500-Install Club' badge, and dropped it on his profile wall. Wednesday morning Mike (the owner) saw the new badge on the HQ leaderboard, slacked Marco a congrats from his phone, and pinned the badge to the shop's public booking page. By Friday three customers asked about 'the 500-install guy' when booking. Marco re-signed his contract two weeks later citing 'you actually noticed.'
Questions
Good to know.
- Can I create custom award templates?
- Yes — the criteria DSL supports any combination of revenue_cents, five_star_reviews, perfect_weeks, installs_count, and tenure_days. Build a '90-day onboarding completion' badge or a '$250k lifetime revenue' club in under a minute.
- Do customers actually see the awards?
- Only the ones an employee pins. The pinned-badge strip renders on the public booking page beside the installer's name — turns recognition into a live trust signal at the exact moment a customer is choosing whether to book.
- What happens at HQ for multi-location chains?
- Every shop's awards roll up into a single /app/hq/[orgId]/awards leaderboard. Filter by template, by shop, by date range. Useful for quarterly all-hands recognition and for spotting which shops are over- or under-recognizing their teams.
