Why These Two Tools Belong Together
Let’s get real: window tinting businesses aren’t just about vinyl rolls and heat guns. You’re dealing with scheduling nightmares, last-minute client changes, and invoices that somehow always need “just one more fix” before they get paid. That’s where pairing Tint Wiz (your CRM backbone) with ApproveThis (the approval muscle) turns into actual magic.
ApproveThis doesn’t just automate “yes/no” decisions – it plugs directly into Tint Wiz through Zapier to handle the stuff that normally makes your team want to throw their squeegees across the shop. Think auto-escalating invoice approvals when your finance guy’s on vacation, or instantly vetting new commercial clients before they hit your install schedule.
No More “Who Approved This?!” Moments
Tint Wiz keeps your jobs and clients organized. ApproveThis adds guardrails. Together, they solve three big headaches:
- Speed: 24/7 approvals without chasing down managers
- Audit Trails: Every decision logged with who/what/when
- Client Trust: Professional process = fewer “Did you get my PO?” emails
Real-World Workflows That Don’t Suck
1. Auto-Vet New Clients Before They Hit Your Schedule
How it works: New contact in Tint Wiz → Instant approval request in ApproveThis → Only approved leads get scheduled.
Who cares: Sales teams tired of overpromising, install crews sick of last-minute cancellations. Custom approval thresholds mean $5k+ jobs get VP sign-off automatically, while residential jobs flow straight to scheduling.
2. Invoice Approvals That Don’t Kill Cash Flow
The problem: Your project manager approves the work, but accounting needs to verify the PO. Meanwhile, your materials supplier is breathing down your neck.
The fix: New Tint Wiz invoice → Multi-step approval in ApproveThis with conditional routing. Bonus: Approvers get nudged via email/Slack if they sit on it too long. Payment delays drop from weeks to hours.
3. Stop Losing Leads Between Sales & Installation
Classic mess: Sales rep promises a timeline, install team’s booked solid, client bails.
How it cleans up: Approval requests in ApproveThis require checking real-time availability in Tint Wiz before locking dates. No more double-booking or undercharging for rush jobs.
Features You’ll Actually Use
ApproveThis isn’t just another checkbox – these specifics matter for tint shops:
- Vacation Delegation: Your main installer OOO? Approvals auto-reassign so jobs keep moving
- Calculated Fields: Auto-flag invoices that don’t match quoted square footage
- Approval Groups: Make sure commercial bids get both legal and sales sign-off
Setup That Takes Minutes, Not Days
Connecting Tint Wiz and ApproveThis isn’t some IT project. Here’s the skinny:
- Log into Zapier (or make an account – it’s free to start)
- Choose your trigger (New Tint Wiz contact, invoice, etc.)
- Pick ApproveThis as the action
- Map the key fields (client email, job details, $ amounts)
- Test with a live request
Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like invoice approvals) before automating everything. Most teams get this live in under 45 minutes.
Why This Beats “Just Using Email”
Every tint shop owner we talk to has the same story: “We were CC’ing everyone on emails and things kept falling through.” ApproveThis fixes that by:
1. Making approvals unavoidable: Approvers get a clear “Approve/Deny” button right in their inbox – no digging through threads.
2. Enforcing rules: $10k+ job? Requires two sign-offs automatically.
3. Keeping Tint Wiz clean: Approved requests update job statuses; denied ones trigger alerts before they blow up your schedule.
Teams That Win With This Combo
Field Crews & Installers
No more showing up to a job site only to find out the client hasn’t paid the deposit. Real-time approval statuses in Tint Wiz mean your team knows before they load the van.
Sales & Estimating
Auto-route complex bids to senior staff while letting juniors handle residential quotes. Approval thresholds lock in margins before sending quotes to clients.
Accounting
Match every Tint Wiz invoice with an approval trail. Disputes? Pull up who approved what in two clicks come audit time.
The Bigger Picture
Window tinting’s competitive. Margins get squeezed when you’re disorganized. Combining Tint Wiz’s CRM muscle with ApproveThis’s structured approvals lets you:
- Take on more commercial clients without process headaches
- Scale past 10+ crews without daily chaos
- Charge premium pricing (because you look pro as hell)
No, Seriously – It Works for Companies Your Size
We’re not talking enterprise BS here. This setup crushes it for:
50-100 employee shops: Cut approval delays that make you look amateurish next to bigger competitors.
200-500 employee chains: Keep consistent processes across locations without micromanaging.
1000+ enterprise operations: Meet corporate compliance rules while letting local teams move fast.
Common Objections (And Why They’re Wrong)
“We’re too busy to set this up.”
Cool. Keep losing $5k/week to delayed approvals then. Or spend 47 minutes on Zapier and fix it.
“Our clients don’t use ApproveThis.”
Good. They don’t need to. Approvers get a simple email – no logins, no downloads. Just click “Approve” and get back to work.
How to Start Without Breaking Anything
1. Grab an ApproveThis trial (no CC required)
2. Pick one annoying approval process (invoices, client onboarding, etc.)
3. Build the Zapier flow in 20 minutes
4. Run it parallel to your old process for a week
5. Laugh at how much time you wasted before
Bottom Line
Tint Wiz runs your shop. ApproveThis runs your decisions. Together, they cut the approval crap that’s been slowing you down. Book a 15-minute demo and we’ll show you exactly how other tinting businesses made the switch.
