The shop software built for window tint installers.
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
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
Register a completed install in a couple clicks and get a warranty certificate with the vehicle, install date, film, installer, a unique certificate number, and a QR code anyone can scan to verify it. The warranty is listed in the customer's portal, and you can email the certificate link any time.
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 customer's conversation.

Job Photos
Every appointment gets a photo gallery. Techs capture on mobile (Growth and Pro; the app is view-only on Starter). Customers see a polished post-install gallery. On Pro, AI looks at the damage photos on a vehicle inspection and drafts the damage note for you. You protect yourself from 'it was like that when you got it' claims.

Automations
On Growth and up, pick a preset drip sequence — win back lapsed customers, follow up cold leads, or ask for a review after a completed job. It goes live the moment you choose a pace, so edit the messages right away or pause it until you have.
Learn more
A customer asks what ceramic tint costs on their SUV. The shop picks the vehicle class, chooses a film from its catalog (brand, series, VLT and warranty years are already on the SKU), and the quote prices from the shop's own vehicle-class pricing. The customer gets a link to review the quote, sign and pay a deposit online.
Illustrative example — not a customer quote. It describes no real shop, and no results are claimed; the workflow shown uses real product features.

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, carbon, dyed, metallic, or other), 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 in-shop Sales Matrix prices it instantly by vehicle type.
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?
+
Yes — staff register the completed install in a couple clicks and get a PDF certificate. Includes the vehicle, install date, film, installer, warranty period, a unique certificate number, and a QR code to verify it online. The warranty shows in the customer's portal, and staff can email the certificate link any time.
Will it work for a mobile tint operation?
+
Yes — the full web app works great on a phone for quoting, invoicing, taking payment, and photo-logging jobs on site today. A native installer app is also live on the App Store and Google Play. Either way, most actions need a data connection to save; writes deliberately do not auto-retry — re-sending one the server may already have committed would double-post it — so a failure shows a clear message rather than silently duplicating or losing it. 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, on the Growth or Pro plan. 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?
+
Yes: 30 days free on Basic, Starter, Growth or Pro, no credit card required. Pick a plan on the pricing page and the trial starts when you create your shop. When it ends, your shop moves to the Free plan and your data stays. Migration support is included either way: bring your existing customers and quote history and we'll help you load them in.
