A mobile auto detailer is overwhelmed by the business side of a growing side hustle: managing inquiries, price lists, appointments, photos, and payments scattered across texts, Venmo, and memory.

Existing solutions like Durable help build a website but do not consolidate booking, payment, and customer communication into one system for a solo mobile detailer.

App Concept

DetailPro Suite

An all-in-one business management app for mobile detailers that combines online booking, automated quotes, digital invoicing, before/after photo galleries, and customer communication in one place. It eliminates the need to juggle texts, Venmo, and memory by providing a professional storefront and backend for solo operators.

Key Features

Automated quote generator based on vehicle type and service packages
Online booking calendar with SMS reminders and Google Calendar sync
Integrated payment processing (credit card, Venmo, Cash App) with automatic receipts
Before/after photo portfolio with automatic customer follow-up for reviews

Target Users: Solo mobile auto detailers and small detailing businesses (1-5 employees) looking to professionalize their operations without hiring staff.

Revenue Model: $29/month per user SaaS subscription with a 14-day free trial; optional add-on for SMS reminders ($10/month) and payment processing fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).
