The For PPF installers pain points your current tool ignores
Today's pain
Customer + vehicle history lives in a spreadsheet, a notebook, and your lead installer's memory
How SalesThumb fixes it
Every customer, vehicle, quote, invoice, and photo threads into one searchable record — plate, VIN, or phone pulls it up in under a second.
Today's pain
You don't remember which XPEL or SunTek kit a returning customer already has until you're mid-quote
How SalesThumb fixes it
Every quote, invoice, warranty, and photo stays on the customer record, so you can see which kit and coverage they bought before you quote.
Today's pain
Switching CRMs means losing years of customer history
How SalesThumb fixes it
CSV import from ShopMonkey, Tint Wiz, Tekmetric, Urable, or a plain spreadsheet — columns auto-mapped, a preview before anything commits, and duplicate emails skipped or merged.
Today's pain
Warranty claims mean digging through email for which kit was installed on which panel
How SalesThumb fixes it
Multi-SKU warranty tiers (XPEL Ultimate Plus, SunTek Reaction, KAVACA Ceramic IR) attach to the vehicle record with a one-click certificate registration — one search away.
Today's pain
A high-LTV PPF customer goes quiet and nobody notices until they've gone to a competitor
How SalesThumb fixes it
Per-customer history makes it obvious who hasn't been back — pair with the sales playbook to fire a check-in automatically instead of relying on memory.

Every customer + vehicle in one record
Unlimited customers and vehicles on every plan. Search by name, plate, VIN, or phone — results rank live, no filter-then-scroll.
Free VIN decode + full history
Paste or scan a VIN for year/make/model/trim in seconds. Every past quote, invoice, and warranty stays on the customer record for faster repeat quotes.

Questions For PPF installers ask
What's the best CRM for a PPF shop?+
SalesThumb — built for the auto-aftermarket trades, not adapted from a general contact list. Unlimited customers and vehicles, free VIN decode, and CSV import from your current tool are on Starter ($199/mo); multi-SKU warranty tiers unlock on Growth ($399/mo). Plans start at $99/month per shop.
Is this a CRM or a full shop management platform?+
Both — the CRM (customer + vehicle records) is one module inside the full platform, which also covers quotes, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and inventory. See the full feature set at /best-ppf-shop-software.
How do I import my customer list from my current PPF CRM or spreadsheet?+
Export a CSV and drop it into the import wizard. Columns auto-map from common export headers (the wizard lists ShopMonkey, Tint Wiz, Tekmetric, Urable, AutoLeap, and MobileTechRX, and a plain spreadsheet works too); you preview the rows and choose whether duplicate emails are skipped or merged before anything commits.
Does it track which PPF kit (XPEL, SunTek, KAVACA, STEK) is on which vehicle?+
Yes. Multi-SKU warranty tiers attach to the specific vehicle record, each with its own term and a one-click certificate registration. Pull up the vehicle and the kit, install date, and warranty status are right there.
Is there a limit on customers or vehicles?+
No — every plan includes unlimited customers and vehicles. Pricing is a flat monthly price per shop with seats included by plan, not per record.
Can customers see their own PPF warranty and history?+
Optionally. The customer portal (magic-link, or the mobile app with passwordless SMS login) shows their own quotes, invoices, warranty certificates, and photos — opt-in per customer.
Does the CRM feed the quoting process, or is it separate?+
It feeds it directly. Pick the customer and vehicle in the quote builder and fleet contract pricing for that customer applies automatically. For a new vehicle, AI photo-to-quote (Pro) identifies the car from a photo and drafts an option for each PPF coverage level you've priced.
How much does it cost?+
Plans start at $99/month per shop. Full plan matrix at /pricing.
