Explanation of System Functionality

Here’s how the Window Film Management system, built on SuiteCRM with QuickBooks integration, supports each step of the auto tint workflow described above:

  • Lead Capture:
    • SuiteCRM’s lead module allows manual entry or integration with web forms (via plugins like Gravity Forms or Zapier). Leads are stored with custom fields for vehicle details (e.g., make, model, year) and tint preferences.
    • Automated workflows assign leads to team members based on rules (e.g., round-robin distribution or geographic proximity).
  • Automated Quotes:
    • SuiteCRM’s quoting module uses customizable templates to generate quotes. Custom fields store tint-specific data (e.g., film type, window count), and pricing rules calculate costs automatically.
    • QuickBooks integration syncs pricing, tax rates, and customer data, ensuring accuracy. Quotes are emailed via SuiteCRM’s email engine, with a trackable “Accept” button.
  • Job Booking and Scheduling:
    • Accepted quotes convert to opportunities or projects in SuiteCRM, creating a job record linked to the customer and quote.
    • The calendar module creates events, synced with external tools like Google Calendar. Workflow automation assigns technicians and sends notifications (email/SMS) via SuiteCRM’s built-in tools or integrations like Twilio.
  • Customer Notifications:
    • SuiteCRM’s workflow engine triggers automated emails or SMS at key stages (booking, reminders, updates). Templates are customizable with dynamic fields (e.g., customer name, appointment time).
    • Integrations with SMS providers ensure reliable delivery, and open/click tracking monitors engagement.
  • Invoicing:
    • SuiteCRM generates invoices from completed jobs, pulling data from the quote. QuickBooks integration syncs invoices to the accounting system, updating ledgers and enabling online payments.
    • Payment links are embedded in emails, leveraging QuickBooks’ payment gateway for secure transactions.
  • Follow-Ups and Reviews:
    • SuiteCRM’s campaign module sends automated follow-up emails/SMS based on triggers (e.g., job completion + 24 hours). Custom forms collect testimonials, stored as notes or custom records.
    • Review requests include direct links to Google/Yelp profiles, tracked for clicks. Follow-up reminders are scheduled via SuiteCRM’s workflow automation.

This end-to-end automation leverages SuiteCRM’s flexibility and QuickBooks’ accounting power, tailored for auto tint businesses with custom modules, fields, and workflows. The system’s scalability supports unlimited users, making it ideal for growing shops.
