Software built insidea real tint shop.
Valley Tints needed more than the tools on the market gave them. So we built it, and we keep shipping every week.
Dylan and Emma do excellent work. What they didn't have was a website, a booking flow that worked or time to fix either.
The shop ran on TintWiz, and it did the basics. We built Shadeboard to expand on what it already had and close the gaps Valley Tints kept hitting: waivers before check-in, timers in the bay, payments from the pickup text, goals on the wall. Then we kept going.
One app, first click to five-star review
Booking that sells
Customers pick their car, choose a shade, see the Ohio legal warning and pay a deposit. Bay limits stop overbooking.
Waivers before the film goes on
Waivers text out on their own and sign on the phone. No signed waiver, no check-in.
Bay timers and job flow
Start job starts the clock. QA photo required to finish. Installers see only what they need on an iPad.
Payments built in
Card reader, saved cards, pay-by-text, out-the-door pricing and refunds. Every change audited.
Two-way texting
Confirmations, reminders, pickup, aftercare and review asks. Reply right from the customer's page.
Warranties and reviews
Lifetime warranty cards made automatically. Happy customers go to Google, unhappy ones reach the shop first.
Payroll, inventory and reports
Hours, commission and Gusto export. Film rolls deduct as you cut. Open any number to see the orders behind it.
Books and no-show protection
Expenses, receipts and profit and loss built in. Hold a card at booking and choose to charge a no-show.
An AI front desk with a little attitude
Tap the mic and talk. Ask "how many Teslas did we do last month?" or tell it to book, move, cancel or text. It shows a card first, and nothing changes until you tap Approve.
The scoreboard on the wall
Set goals for full tints, Match Twos or sales. Everyone sees in one glance if the shop is ahead or behind, and the bay timeline updates live.
