Team Collaboration

Collaboration just got easier! With team management, you can now work together more efficiently across your entire shop.

Dark Mode

Your eyes will thank you! Dark mode has arrived in GlassQuote Pro.

We know many of you start early or work late, and bright screens aren't always ideal. Dark mode provides a comfortable viewing experience in any lighting condition.

Features:

• Automatic Switching - Follows your device's system preferences automatically
• Manual Toggle - Click the moon icon in the header to switch anytime
• Consistent Design - Every screen, form, and component looks great in both themes
• Reduced Eye Strain - Lower brightness and contrast for comfortable extended use
• Persistent Preference - Your choice is remembered across sessions and devices

Technical Details:

We've carefully tuned every color for both themes, ensuring proper contrast ratios for accessibility. Charts, badges, and status indicators remain clearly visible in both modes.

Toggle dark mode using the moon/sun icon in the top navigation bar.

ADAS Calibration Tracking

ADAS calibration is now fully integrated into GlassQuote Pro. Stop leaving money on the table and ensure customer safety.

Modern vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems require camera calibration after windshield replacement. Missing this service means lost revenue and potential liability.

New Features:

• Automatic Detection - VIN decoder identifies ADAS-equipped vehicles automatically
• Calibration Alerts - Visual warnings when quoting ADAS vehicles without calibration
• Service Templates - Pre-configured calibration service items ready to add to quotes
• Static vs Dynamic - Track calibration type (shop static or road dynamic)
• Sublet Tracking - Record when calibration is performed by a partner shop

Why This Matters:

• Average calibration adds $150-400 to a job
• Proper disclosure protects your shop legally
• Customers appreciate the safety explanation
• Differentiates you from competitors who skip this step

Start tracking ADAS calibrations on every qualifying job!

Mobile-First Experience

Take GlassQuote Pro with you! Our mobile-optimized interface lets you run your business from anywhere.

Mobile techs and salespeople need to create quotes on-site. Waiting until you're back at the shop means lost deals. Now you can quote, schedule, and close from the customer's location.

Mobile Features:

• Responsive Design - Works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops
• Touch Optimized - Large buttons and swipe gestures for easy mobile use
• Fast Loading - Optimized for mobile networks and slower connections
• Offline Support - View recent customers and quotes even without signal
• Quick VIN Scan - Use your phone's camera to scan VINs (coming soon)
• GPS Integration - Record job locations for routing and dispatch

Use Cases:

• Create quotes in the customer's driveway
• Check schedule and job details on the road
• Update job status after completing installations
• Look up customer history before arriving
• Accept deposits and payments on-site

No app download required - just visit GlassQuote Pro from any mobile browser.

Clippy Integration (Beta) 🐤

🎉 Meet your new productivity assistant! For April Fools' Day, we're introducing Clippy, your friendly (and slightly mischievous) helper. He's here to make your day a little brighter—and maybe a little more chaotic. 😜

Clippy pops up with tips, jokes, and the occasional dance across your dashboard. Don't worry, you can always dismiss him with a click (or just enjoy the nostalgia). 🐤

Features:

• 💡 Pops up with helpful (and sometimes unhelpful) tips
• 🕺 Animates across your dashboard with classic Clippy moves
• 😂 Tells a random joke on demand
• ❌ Can be dismissed with a single click
• 🥚 Easter eggs for the curious

Behind the scenes: 🎬 Our team had a blast bringing Clippy to life for a day. No productivity assistants were harmed in the making of this feature.

Don't worry, Clippy will only stick around for a day. Or will he? 😉
