Job Photos (Before / After / Damage)
Before, after, and the damage you called out on drop-off.
Photos are the most under-used tool in a tint shop. Shot right, they win disputes and turn every install into shareable content. SalesThumb captures before / after / damage photos from the installer's phone, links each shot to the appointment (and through it to the customer and vehicle), and gives the customer a branded gallery URL they can share. When something goes wrong six months later — 'was that scratch there?' — you open one screen, see the pre-install damage-tagged photo with the timestamp, and the conversation's over.

The parts that actually move the needle.
Three capabilities built specifically for the day-to-day of a working shop.

A gallery you'd actually send to a customer
Most shops either don't send photos at all or dump unsorted JPGs in a text thread. SalesThumb opens into a designed gallery: hero before/after at the top, tabbed by category, and a share link that looks like a portfolio site. The customer opens it, shows their spouse, shares it with friends.
- Hero before/after swiper at the top of every gallery
- Grouped tabs: before · after · damage
- Copy the portal link or share via the native share sheet

Damage tagging that holds up when it matters
Every dispute in the tint / PPF world comes back to 'was it like that when I dropped it off?' SalesThumb's damage tagging mode lets the installer snap a photo, tag it as damage, and add a caption in about 10 seconds. The photo is timestamped and attached to the appointment. If the customer comes back three months later claiming new damage, you open the gallery and point to the tagged shot.
- Tag any photo's kind as damage
- Add a caption per photo
- Timestamped and attached to the appointment

Mobile capture the tech actually uses
If it takes more than 3 taps, techs skip it. SalesThumb's camera opens from the installer app's home screen, auto-routes to the active appointment, and lets you category-pick first so you're not doing data entry with dirty gloves. Shots upload in the background while the tech keeps working; if a connection drops mid-upload, the app surfaces a clear error so the tech knows to retry rather than assuming it's queued. One Tuesday afternoon Marco captured 47 photos across 4 appointments without leaving the installer app.
- Auto-routes to today's active appointment — no folder picking
- Category-first UX: tap Before / After / Damage, then snap
- Background upload so the tech's workflow never waits
- Bulk-caption a whole appointment in one tap — AI writes a unique one-line caption per uncaptioned photo, tech edits or accepts each

Search by customer or vehicle, jump to that visit's gallery
Type a customer's name or a vehicle year/make/model into /app/photos and it lists matching appointments — click one to open that appointment's own before/after/damage gallery. It's a text search across your shop's own photos, not a VIN or license-plate lookup, and there's no combined multi-visit timeline, quality-trend chart, or PDF export today — each visit's gallery is its own page.
- Search matches customer name or vehicle year/make/model text
- Results are appointments, not photos — open one to see that visit's gallery
- No VIN/plate field is searched, no combined multi-visit timeline exists

Who it's for
Built specifically for…
- Tint shops tired of 'was that scratch there?' disputes
- PPF installers who compete on craftsmanship and want social proof
- Ceramic coating pros who rely on before/after for marketing
- Shops that need to look up a repeat customer's past visit by name
- Shop owners who want shareable before/after content without editing
What it replaces
The old way…
- iPhone Photos app + 'which folder did I put it in?'
- Text threads with 40 unsorted JPGs to the customer
- Dropbox / Google Drive folders nobody can find
- Paper damage-inspection forms that get lost
- That one social-media manager you were going to hire
How it works
Set it up once. Run it forever.
- 1
Capture on the installer app
Open appointment → Tap Photo → categorize (before / after / damage) → snap. Uploads in background, never blocks the tech.
- 2
Find it later
Every photo is linked to its appointment. On /app/photos, search by customer name or vehicle text to find the matching appointment, then open its gallery.
- 3
Share beautifully
Post-install customer gallery gets a clean URL. Add your brand, share via the native share sheet, ask for a review.
What this looks like in a shop
Black Tesla comes in, has a small scratch on the front bumper. Installer tags it as damage with a photo + caption. Three hours later the ceramic coat is done, installer captures 8 after-shots. Customer gets a laid-out gallery URL they can share with friends. Zero 'did you do this?' arguments, guaranteed.
Questions
Good to know.
- How much does photo storage cost?
- Included in every plan. No per-GB fees. Photos live on Cloudflare R2 so egress is free too.
- Do photos get auto-categorized?
- No — the tech picks Before/After/Damage when they upload. What AI does do is suggest a one-line caption per photo (grounded in the actual image via Claude vision), which the tech can edit or accept.
- What happens if the tech is offline?
- Photo uploads need a data connection today — the app retries automatically once, and shows a clear "couldn't upload, check your connection" message if it still fails, so nothing is lost silently. Full offline capture-and-sync is on the roadmap, not shipped yet.
