PPF software for paint protection film installers
Quote full-front, full-vehicle and high-wear coverage in seconds — on Pro, type what the customer wants and AI Quote fills in your own PPF packages and prices — then track every roll, warranty and multi-day install from the same app.
Made for film installers
The tools PPF shops actually use — pricing, roll tracking, and warranties.
Coverage-area pricing
Full front (hood/fenders/mirrors), partial front, track package, full vehicle. Price by vehicle class and coverage tier.
PPF film catalog
Track any film brand (for example XPEL, STEK, SunTek or 3M), with batch and warranty length per job.
Large-format roll tracking
60" rolls cost thousands. Track every inch, job to job. Film usage rolls into your cost-of-goods report.
Multi-day job scheduling
Full-vehicle installs span 2–5 days. Schedule correctly, log progress photos each day, don't double-book the bay.
10-year warranty tracking
Register each install's warranty and generate a branded PDF certificate with a public verification link. Customers file yellowing or defect claims from that page.
Pre-install inspections
Document every rock chip and paint imperfection before film goes on. Customer signs off — protects you from claims.
Every inch of $4k film tracked automatically
Receive rolls by batch, deduct inches on each job, see low-stock alerts before you run out mid-install.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a PPF (paint protection film) shop?
SalesThumb is purpose-built for PPF installers: coverage-area pricing (partial front, full front, track package, full car), large-format roll tracking by the inch, 10-year warranty registration with branded certificates, and multi-day job scheduling. Generic auto-shop tools need heavy configuration to approximate this.
Can it track PPF film rolls by the inch?
Yes — SalesThumb receives 60-inch PPF rolls by batch, supplier, and cost, lets you preview and apply the inches used after a job from one screen, and fires a low-stock alert before you run out mid-install, so film cost flows into your cost-of-goods report.
Does it price PPF by coverage tier?
Yes — SalesThumb prices PPF by coverage tier: partial front, full front, track package, and full vehicle are first-class pricing tiers per vehicle class, so every quote is consistent and your margin is protected on the big jobs.
Can customers book a PPF install and pay a deposit online?
Yes — SalesThumb gives each shop a public booking page that captures vehicle info, collects a card deposit, and lands the appointment on the calendar with SMS confirmations.
Does it handle PPF warranty registration?
Yes — a staff member registers the completed install in a couple clicks to get a branded warranty PDF, and SalesThumb handles yellowing or defect claims and transfers from one place.
