By service

Paint protection film software for coverage and inventory.

A PPF job needs two records that often go missing: the coverage the customer bought, and how much film came off which roll. ShopHawk keeps both on the job.

Coverage options

Same car, four coverages. The lit tiles are the areas logged in Inventory Usage.

Why the coverage text matters

Two shops sell “full front” and mean different things. One includes Side Mirrors and Pillars, one does not. The coverage name prints on the invoice, and each Inventory Usage row records the area the film went on.

The roll

The waste is money on the floor.

Every job leaves offcuts. What does not go on the car, you still paid for.

Full front, cut from one roll

An example of the cuts on one roll. ShopHawk does not plan the cuts. It records what came off the roll.

Roll ID R-4471 · 9.7 m off the roll

Usage8.4 m

Roll IDR-4471

Waste1.3 m

Value$520

ShopHawk records the result, not the cuts. One Inventory Usage row holds the Roll ID, the Usage and the Waste. At Job Done, both come off the roll, so the roll shows the film that is really left.

Over time

The term comes from the film.

Drag through the years. Each warranty takes its term from the film product, so the job keeps the term of the film you fitted.

Two cars, two films

The same hood job on the same day, by the same tech. Only the film is different.

The customer does not remember which film you fitted. Your system does. When they come back in year five, the record has the film, the Roll ID, the selected areas and the term, which is the difference between a claim you can make and an argument you cannot win.

The claim

A claim takes an afternoon or two weeks.

Same damage, same film, same manufacturer. The only difference is whether the job was recorded properly on the day.
