Side by side
How Strata compares, line by line
| Capability | Strata | Older detailing software |
|---|---|---|
| Booking and deposits | StrataA branded booking page that takes a Stripe deposit right after booking and flags any still uncollected. | Older detailing softwareOlder detailing software often has a booking form, but the deposit is often chased later. |
| Texting customers | StrataTwo-way SMS on Pro and Premier, no setup. Customers reply C to confirm, one Messages inbox, STOP/START and carrier registration handled. | Older detailing softwareMany older tools send one-way reminders or route replies to email, so back-and-forth lands on your personal phone. |
| Filling slow days and win-backs | StrataAutopilot queues overdue regulars, cold quotes, and unbilled jobs with the text written. You approve or skip. | Older detailing softwareOlder detailing software typically leaves follow-up to memory or a manual list, with nothing watching for overdue regulars. |
| Quote to invoice | StrataOne connected thread from quote to appointment to invoice, carrying add-ons, tax, deposits, and balances the whole way. | Older detailing softwareMany older systems bolt invoicing on separately, so the same numbers get re-keyed between tools. |
| Calendar and jobs board | StrataA month-to-day calendar with bays, staff, and buffers, plus a jobs board showing revenue per column. | Older detailing softwareOlder tools usually give you a calendar, but rarely a live board tying each stage to its money. |
| Client and vehicle history | StrataEvery job is tied to the exact vehicle, with full service history and a comms log. | Older detailing softwareTypical shop software tracks the customer but often loses the per-vehicle detail a repeat detail client needs. |
| What you pay for the team | StrataPro has role-based access for up to 5 team logins and Premier is unlimited, with no per-seat charge on top. | Older detailing softwareOlder detailing software often prices by seat or tier, so adding staff or features raises the monthly bill. |
| Getting your data in | StrataSelf-serve CSV import that takes exports from OrbisX, Urable, TintWiz, or QuickBooks, with no paid onboarding. | Older detailing softwareSwitching off older tools frequently means a manual export and a paid setup call before you can start. |
