Compare the handoffs that affect conversion, approval, payment, history, and profit.
| Area | Square | Auto Detailing CRM |
|---|---|---|
| First contact | Calls and inquiries need a defined handoff into the shop's operating record. | AI receptionist answers in English and Spanish, identifies intent, and records calls, summaries, leads, and bookings in the CRM. |
| Approved scope | The comparison point is how the exact approved work remains traceable when order details later change. | Protected order snapshots expose verified, stale, or revoked signature status instead of silently reusing an outdated approval. |
| Payment context | Evaluate how the transaction, deposit, balance, receipt, and underlying job remain connected for the team. | Stripe Connect, Tap to Pay on iPhone, Stripe Terminal, links, deposits, tips, receipts, and balances stay on the order. |
| Vehicle history | Vehicle identity, condition, prior services, approvals, and payments need a consistent long-term record. | The vehicle record carries VIN, plate, body type, condition photos, jobs, signatures, payments, and repeat-service context. |
| Website leads | Existing forms and commerce orders need a secure route into the team's day-to-day operating workflow. | Signed-webhook intake supports WordPress, Contact Form 7, WooCommerce, and custom website forms. |
| Job economics | Collected revenue needs material and outside-labor cost before it becomes a true job margin. | Materials, inventory usage, vendor and subcontractor cost, revenue, and gross profit share the connected job record. |
