Material is ordered against a decision
Once the film is bought for a specific vehicle in a specific colour, it is committed. Deposits exist for a reason and need tracking.
Vinyl wrap
Design approval, deposit, material, install — in that order.
A wrap is a project, not an appointment. It has a design stage, a money stage and a multi-day install, and the failure mode is always a step that got skipped.
What the work actually involves
The parts generic software gets wrong.
The bay is gone for days
A full wrap removes capacity for most of a week. A calendar that shows it as a single appointment is lying to you.
Approval has to be explicit
Colour, finish and coverage agreed verbally is the most expensive kind of agreement in this trade.

How the workflow maps to it.
- Multi-day durations that block real capacity on the schedule
- Estimates carrying approved colour, finish and coverage into the job
- Deposits and balances tracked against the invoice, not a separate notebook
Questions
Asked by vinyl wrap businesses.
Can it handle multi-day jobs properly?
Yes. Service durations can span hours or days and are reflected on the day, week and month schedule views.
Can I track a deposit and a balance?
Invoices track what has been approved and what has been collected, so an outstanding balance is visible rather than remembered.
