Ceramic coating software built for shops that install Gtechniq, Ceramic Pro, Modesta, Feynlab, and other premium coatings. Paint correction tracking with depth-gauge readings + photos. Single-day install scheduling with the cure window automatically blocked off. Multi-year warranty registration + recurring maintenance plans that keep customers in the program.

The best ceramic coating software in 2026 depends on whether your shop only coats or also tints, wraps, or does PPF: SalesThumb is the strongest pick for shops running ceramic coating alongside those other verticals, with multi-stage prep checklists and multi-year warranty registration built in. OrbisX and Tint Wiz both name ceramic coating directly on their own sites; QuoteIQ and Shopmanager are broader generalist platforms that also market to ceramic-coating shops.
Best for: Ceramic coating installers who also run tint, PPF, detail, or wrap
Multi-stage prep checklists with photo documentation, cure-window scheduling that blocks the bay automatically, and multi-year warranty registration with a branded certificate are on the Starter tier. The sales playbook that keeps customers in the maintenance program unlocks on Growth — see current SalesThumb plans above.
Best for: Detail-forward shops that also install ceramic coatings
OrbisX's own site names "Ceramic Coating Installers" as one of the professional groups it's built for, alongside detailing, tint, PPF, and wrap. $100/mo flat with a 30-day trial (listed as limited-time promo pricing); single published tier, and multi-shop pricing is custom-quote only.
Best for: Shops that want the largest installed base and don't need coating-specific tooling
A generalist field-service CRM used across 100+ trades, not built for ceramic coating specifically — no cure-window scheduling or coating warranty-tier workflow. Its draw is scale: 40,000+ users and plans from $29.99/mo across 5 tiers.
Best for: Shops that also run tire & wheel, PDR, or accessory install alongside ceramic
Names ceramic coating as one of its several supported trades, with multi-shop support on its Enterprise tier ($350/mo) and a 30-day trial across all four tiers ($200-$500/mo). Feature set is generalized job/inventory tracking, not coating-specific fields like cure-window scheduling.
Best for: Tint-proven shops adding ceramic coating as a second line
$150/mo flat with unlimited users. Live-checked 2026-08-09: tintwiz.com publishes a dedicated "CRM Solution For Ceramic Coating Businesses" page, confirming ceramic coating as a marketed vertical — though feature depth for that vertical beyond tint isn't independently verified, and it remains single-shop only.
Best for: Budget-conscious shops that don't need coating-specific compliance tools
From $70/mo with unlimited users on every tier. A detail-leaning generalist CRM — SalesThumb's own comparison confirms Urable ships no tint/PPF/ceramic-specific workflows like cure-window scheduling or coating warranty tiers.
Best for: Shops that coat alongside general auto repair
A mature auto-repair platform ($239-$499/mo month-to-month) with deep parts/labor workflows and a large integration catalog. Not coating-specific — no cure-window scheduling, prep checklists, or coating-warranty tooling out of the box.

Yes. Cure-window scheduling blocks off the 12-24 hours after the install is done so the bay isn't double-booked. Customer gets the 'ready for pickup' SMS the moment the cure-time elapses, not 8am the next day on a hopeful guess.
