Inventory Management for Auto Detailing Businesses

Track ceramic coatings by milliliters remaining, PPF film by linear feet, polish and compound by the bottle, and microfiber towels by wash cycle count. Know exactly what you have and what you need.

Problems Auto Detailing Businesses Face Every Day

These challenges cost you time, money, and customers. IntelliDrive OS solves them.

Ceramic Coating Is Expensive and Wasted

A 50ml bottle of professional ceramic coating costs $50 to $150. Without tracking usage per job, you cannot tell if techs are wasting product or if bottles are going missing.

PPF Film Cuts Are Untracked

Paint protection film costs $5 to $15 per linear foot. Techs cut from rolls and nobody tracks how much is left. You run out mid-job and rush order at a premium.

Towel Inventory Is a Revolving Door

Microfiber towels degrade after a certain number of washes. You buy hundreds but have no idea how many are usable, in the laundry, or worn out.

Inventory Management Built for Auto Detailing Businesses

Six capabilities designed specifically for how auto detailing businesses work.

Coating Usage Tracking

Track ceramic coating bottles by milliliters remaining. Log usage per vehicle for accurate cost-per-job calculations.

PPF Film Roll Management

Track PPF rolls by brand, width, and linear feet remaining. Deduct footage per installation with waste factor calculation.

Polish & Compound Tracking

Track polishes, compounds, and waxes by bottle. Log which products were used on each job for quality tracking.

Microfiber Towel Lifecycle

Track towels by type (drying, buffing, glass, interior), wash count, and condition. Replace towels before they scratch paint.

Mobile Unit Inventory

For mobile detailers, track supplies per van or trailer. Know what each unit has before heading to the next appointment.

Product Cost Per Vehicle

Calculate the exact product cost per detail based on actual usage. Know your true margins on every service tier.

How It Works

Four simple steps to transform your inventory management workflow.

1

Catalog Products

Add all coatings, polishes, compounds, films, and towels with costs, quantities, and unit measurements.

2

Stock Units

Distribute products to your shop bays or mobile units. Each location has its own inventory count.

3

Log Per Vehicle

After each detail, log which products were used and how much. Coating ml, film feet, and products consumed.

4

Restock & Analyze

Low-stock alerts trigger reorders. Product cost per vehicle reports reveal your true cost per service.
