Every surface

Built for hands wet with foam.

Bookings, deposits, photo gates, recurring memberships, profitability — every feature is opt-in. Most tenants light up about a third of this list; the rest waits in the add-ons drawer until they need it.

Bookings + scheduling

A calendar built for the way detailers actually work.

By-resource Week view splits the day into bays, lifts, vans. Drag-drop reschedule. Public booking page that takes a deposit before you even open the bay door. Service-area radius keeps the no-show 70-mile customers from ever booking.

  • Stripe deposit per service — flat $25 on Ceramic, waived on Quick Wash
  • Drag a job to a different bay — overlapping appointments are flagged for you
  • No Before photo, no start; no After photo, no finish
  • Ceramic booth already booked? That time slot won't show as open

On the road

Today, sorted by where you're already driving.

Open the Today panel; jobs reorder by drive distance from the first appointment. Tap a row, your phone opens directly into Apple Maps (iPhone) or Google Maps (everything else). The customer's address is already loaded — no copy-pasting from a text thread.

  • Stops reorder by driving distance, starting from your first appointment
  • One tap opens the address in the map app your phone already uses — Apple Maps or Google Maps
  • No address on file for a stop? It stays in appointment-time order instead
  • Customer phone tap-to-call right next to the Maps link

In the driveway

Photos that protect you. Signatures that close the loop.

The job machine refuses to advance without proof — Before photo to start, After to complete. Every photo opens to a fullscreen lightbox. On arrival, hand the customer your phone — they sign on a finger-friendly canvas and the signature attaches to the printable work order.

  • A job can't start without a Before photo, or be marked done without an After photo
  • AI looks at your Before photos and suggests add-ons like pet-hair, mud, or etching removal
  • Tag arrival photos as pre-existing damage to protect yourself from disputes later
  • Digital signature replaces the offline pen-and-clipboard flow

Price the vehicle

Charge what the job is actually worth.

An SUV isn't a sedan and a trashed interior isn't a quick wipe-down — so don't quote them the same. Set size tiers once, let customers self-rate condition for an automatic upcharge, and price the drive on mobile jobs. The booking page does the math; the same numbers flow onto jobs you create by hand.

  • Per-vehicle-size pricing — Sedan / SUV / Truck tiers on every service
  • Condition upcharge: customers self-rate at booking, flat or % of service
  • Mobile travel fee — free radius + flat + per-mile, charged at booking and on operator jobs
  • Pickup & drop-off opt-in, all folded into the deposit + tax automatically

Money in the door

Auto-invoice on Complete. Tax actually applied.

Mark Done; a Stripe invoice fires with your tenant tax rate baked in. Print the customer a PDF, send via Email or SMS, or have them tap the embedded Stripe pay link. Cash? Inline 'Mark paid' on the invoice grid records it as a Cash payment in one click.

  • Your tax rate is applied automatically to new invoices — past invoices never change
  • Multi-method: Cash / Venmo / PayPal / Zelle / Check / Stripe / Other
  • Refund records with status flip when fully reversed
  • Per-job profitability report: revenue − supplies = gross margin

Customer outreach

One-shot broadcasts. Self-serve reschedule. Zero phone-tag.

Pick a filter (all customers / no job in 60 days), draft a message, fan it out via SMS or Email. The 48h reminder includes a one-tap reschedule link; customers move their own appointment without calling the desk. Google review nudge is one tap from a completed job.

  • Bulk SMS + email with opt-out compliance
  • Customers reschedule themselves from a secure link, up to 24 hours before the visit
  • One-tap Google review request after Completed jobs
  • Customers see their full visit history from a private link — no login or password needed

Trust + audit

Sign on arrival. Reduce disputes to zero.

Paint correction or ceramic? Hand the customer your phone before you start. Their signature attaches to the work-order, prints alongside the date, and lives in the photo grid for the life of the job. Disputes about "that scratch was already there" disappear when the customer signed off on the Before photos.

  • Customers sign with a finger on any phone or tablet
  • The signature is saved securely right alongside the job's photos
  • Prints on the work order with the date and time it was signed
  • Tap to view it full-screen from the job page

Platform + trust

Boring infrastructure done right — so you don't think about it.

The plumbing that keeps a 1099 mobile detailer and an Enterprise security questionnaire happy at the same time.

  • Reports that mean something

    Revenue this month, no-show trends, your top customers and services, how many keep coming back, and where bookings drop off.

  • Connect your other tools (API keys)

    Securely link DetailingStack to the other software you use, and decide exactly what each connection is allowed to see or change.

  • iPhone + Android

    The same app on your phone — camera, notifications, and it keeps working on a shaky signal.

  • One-tap sign-in

    Sign in from a link we email you — no password to remember.

  • Owner kill-switch

    Instantly cut off any DetailingStack staff member's access to your account.

  • 30-day deletion safety net

    Deleted records can be restored for 30 days before they're permanently removed — and you can export all your data anytime.
