Implementation story

Installing the automotive flow: two sales, one connected record

A custom shop runs two sales at once. The quick install needs a time slot. The build needs a consultation. Both start as a message about a vehicle, and both stall in the same places.

The problem

The handoffs where the work goes quiet

Every one of these is a place a request changes hands without a record, an owner, or a next step.

01

Inquiry to vehicle

A message that says only "how much for tint?" cannot be answered. The year, make, model, and photos arrive later, in pieces, across channels.

02

Vehicle to path

Quick installs and custom builds get treated identically, so a booking-ready customer waits for a consultation and a build inquiry gets a price with no context.

03

Quote to decision

Quotes are sent from a phone and never followed. The shop finds out the answer only if the customer comes back on their own.

04

Build to referral

The car leaves, the photos go to social, and the record ends. No review request, no reactivation on the next stage of the build.

The connected flow

What the installation actually connects

One continuous path, in the order it runs.

  1. Calls, service-page forms, and social-driven visits all create one record with the source attached
  2. The intake captures vehicle details and photos before anyone replies with a number
  3. Quick installs move to a bookable time slot; builds move to a consultation with a named owner
  4. Quotes and deposits sit in a visible stage with reminders on the agreed cadence
  5. Status updates go out during the build so the shop is not answering the same question by DM
  6. Completed work triggers the review request, and past customers re-enter long follow-up

The automotive operating flow

  1. 01

    Website, call, or social

    Trigger
    A call, a service-page form, or a visit driven from social creates the inquiry.
    System
    One record is created with the channel and page attached.
    Person
    Techs keep working. The inquiry is already captured.
  2. 02

    Vehicle, service, photos

    Trigger
    The record enters intake.
    System
    Year, make, model, requested service, and any photos the customer sent land on the same record.
    Person
    Nobody asks for the vehicle three times.
  3. 03

    Quick install or custom build

    Trigger
    The service type is known.
    System
    Quick installs route toward open time slots. Custom builds route toward a scoped consultation with a named advisor.
    Person
    The advisor talks scope, not logistics.
  4. 04

    Quote and deposit

    Trigger
    The shop puts a number on the work.
    System
    The quote is tracked with a deposit stage, so an inquiry cannot be marked sold before both are recorded.
    Person
    Pricing, parts, and build decisions stay with the shop. Payment is taken where you take payments today.
  5. 05

    Scheduled work

    Trigger
    The deposit is recorded.
    System
    The drop-off or install window is booked with confirmations and reminders.
    Person
    The front counter sees the calendar it already trusts.
  6. 06

    Status and handoff

    Trigger
    The vehicle is in the shop.
    System
    The record carries the handoff and an agreed progress-update touchpoint.
    Person
    Customers stop calling to ask, and the tech is not the one answering.
  7. 07

    Review and reactivation

    Trigger
    The build or install is complete.
    System
    A review request goes out on the agreed delay, past customers re-enter long follow-up, and the source stays on the ticket.
    Person
    The owner handles the relationship calls that matter.
