Mobile Detailing Business OS

Mobile detailing runs on a phone, a diary and a van, and the record keeping usually happens at the end of a long day when nobody feels like doing it. Which is exactly why the invoices slip.

This holds clients, details, invoices and expenses in a single file. The statuses include no-show, because mobile work has them and a status list that pretends otherwise makes the numbers wrong.

Each detail records what it cost you in products and travel, so the margin column shows which work is worth the drive. Regular customers close to home and one-off jobs an hour away often look identical on the invoice and nothing alike on the margin.

The dashboard shows what you invoiced this month, what is still owed, what is overdue and by how many days, and your profit after expenses categorised for this trade rather than for an office.

For working out what to charge for a specific detail before you book it, the Mobile Car Detailing Quote Calculator is the tool that does that. This one keeps the records once the work is agreed.

Everything lives in your browser on your device. Nothing is uploaded, which is why it works with no internet connection and why nobody else can see your clients — and it also means clearing your browsing data deletes it. The tool does not pretend otherwise: the header shows how long since your last export at all times, turns amber after three days and red after seven, and export is one click that produces a plain file you keep. That is the honest trade, and it is stated here rather than discovered later.
