Film catalog with VLT, ceramic/carbon/dyed types, roll-by-lot tracking, lifetime warranty PDFs — and none of the auto-repair bloat that slows you down.
Film catalog management, VLT-aware quoting, and lifetime warranty registration — built for tint shops, from single-bay to multi-vertical.
Why window tint shops choose SalesThumb
Every workflow is specific to window tint. None of the auto-repair bloat.
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.
Track every 60-inch roll by lot, length remaining, supplier, and cost. Low-stock alerts before you run out mid-install.
Pre-built pricing matrices for sedan / coupe / SUV / truck — two-front, full vehicle, sunroof add-on. Customers see a real quote in 30 seconds.
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.
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.
Quote, deposit, arrival reminder, in-progress photo, ready-for-pickup, review request — every text threaded to the right vehicle and customer.
A typical window tint job, end-to-end
Customer requests a quote
Online booking page asks for year/make/model, which windows, and uploads (optional). The system suggests the right film tier and VLT based on your shop defaults.
Quote auto-builds
Vehicle-class pricing kicks in. Add any upcharge (high-heat ceramic, sunroof, rear privacy, removal of old tint). Customer signs + pays deposit online.
Install scheduled
Drop the job into an installer lane on the calendar. Customer gets a confirmation text with the bay address and ETA window.
Install + photo log
Installer logs the film roll(s) consumed (deducts from inventory), takes before/after photos, and notes any glass condition issues.
Warranty issued, customer paid
Final invoice goes out with a payment link. Customer pays with a card. Once the warranty's registered, staff send the certificate link from the warranty record. A review request goes out automatically about a day after the job's marked complete.
Reorder & re-engage
Roll inventory updates in real time. Customer gets a 'how's it holding up?' text at 6 months. Referral discount auto-applies if they bring you their second car.

“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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Use the mobile app to quote, invoice, take payment, and photo-log jobs on site. Most actions need a data connection to save — the app retries automatically and shows a clear message if a save doesn't go through, rather than losing it silently. See /built-for/mobile for the full mobile-installer feature set.
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.
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.
Not a self-serve trial. Creating an account is free and takes no credit card, so you can set your shop up and look around — paid features unlock when you pick a plan. Migration support is included either way: bring your existing customers and quote history and we'll help you load them in. Cancel anytime.
