Using the Earnings Page The Earnings page in the HITEK platform allows you to track revenue and review transaction activity. This section provides a clear view of how much income has been recorded during a selected time period and allows you to search and filter payment history. Start by logging into the HITEK web portal and opening the Earnings section from the left navigation menu. This will bring you to the Earnings dashboard. Revenue Overview At the top of the page you will see the Total Earnings figure. This number represents the total amount of recorded revenue within the selected date range. Adjusting the date range will update this value to reflect the earnings for that specific period. Transaction Activity The transactions panel displays a list of recorded payments and completed transactions. This section allows you to quickly review financial activity and identify recent payments. You can filter or search transactions directly from this panel. Viewing Recent Transactions Selecting the Recent Transactions option displays the most recently recorded payments. This view is useful for quickly checking the latest activity in your system. Filtering by Date Range If you need to review earnings for a specific time period, use the date selection tool. Opening the date filter allows you to choose from preset ranges or create a custom range. Common preset options include: Last 7 Days Last 30 Days Last 90 Days These presets make it easy to quickly review short term or monthly revenue. For more precise reporting, a custom date range can be selected using the calendar view. Navigate between months using the arrows, then choose the start date and end date for the period you want to analyze. Once the desired range is selected, apply the filter to update the results. If you decide not to change the range, you can discard the selection instead. Searching Transactions The search function allows you to locate specific transactions quickly. You can search using a customer name or a booking reference to find the related payment record. If no transactions appear after searching, check the selected date range to make sure the filter includes the time period when the transaction occurred. Reviewing earnings regularly helps you monitor revenue flow and confirm that payments are being recorded correctly inside the HITEK system.

Setting Up PPF Pricing The Pricing section in the HITEK dashboard controls how the system calculates costs for paint protection film jobs. Once pricing is configured, the platform automatically applies those values when creating quotes and bookings. Setting this up correctly ensures consistent pricing across every job. Begin by logging into the HITEK website dashboard and opening the Pricing section from the left navigation menu. At the top of the page, select PPF as the pricing type. Two update methods are available for managing pricing. You can update values one vehicle at a time or apply changes across multiple vehicles and packages at once. Individual Pricing Updates Individual updates allow you to adjust pricing for specific vehicle categories and package options. This method is useful when only a few values need to be modified. Each vehicle category appears as its own pricing card. Common categories include sedan, coupe, small SUV, large SUV, four door truck, two door truck, wagon, hatchback, and other. Within each vehicle type you will see the available PPF coverage packages. These typically include front bumper package, partial front package, full front clip package, and entire vehicle package. Each package can be priced according to the film type being installed. Film options may include PPF Ultra, PPF Ultra Matte, Black PPF, and White PPF. To update pricing, select the appropriate package and film option, then enter the desired price. Once all adjustments are complete, save the changes so the system can apply the new pricing values. Bulk Pricing Updates Bulk updates allow you to adjust multiple prices across vehicle types, packages, or film options in a single action. This is the fastest way to update pricing when changes apply across many configurations. Start by selecting Bulk Update near the top of the pricing page. The system will guide you through several selections. First choose the vehicle categories you want to update. Multiple vehicle types can be selected at the same time. Next select the coverage package you want to modify. Options may include front bumper, partial front, full front clip, or entire vehicle protection. After that, choose the film types that should receive the pricing update. Multiple film options can be selected if needed. Finally enter the new price and apply the change. The system will assign that value to every combination selected during the update. After performing a bulk update, remember to save the changes to finalize the pricing configuration. Tax and Payment Settings The Pricing page also includes additional configuration settings. On the right side of the screen you can set your tax percentage and connect payment options such as Square, PayPal, or Stripe. These settings control how payments are processed and how taxes are applied to customer transactions. Once pricing and payment settings are saved, the HITEK system will automatically use those values whenever PPF quotes or bookings are created. This helps ensure that pricing remains accurate and consistent across every job. Automotive Pricing Updates Automotive tint pricing is managed in the same Pricing section of the dashboard. Instead of selecting PPF , choose Automotive as the pricing type.  The system allows pricing to be configured based on vehicle category and service coverage. Coverage options typically include full vehicle, front windows only, rear windows only, and single window services. Each job type can be paired with different film packages such as standard film, classic film, hybrid film, carbon IR, ceramic IR, ceramic pro, ceramic plus, and ceramic ultra. Prices can be adjusted individually for each vehicle category or updated across multiple configurations using the bulk update tool. Individual updates allow precise control for specific vehicles, while bulk updates make it easier to adjust pricing across the entire system. After updating values, save the changes to ensure the pricing is applied to all future quotes and bookings created within the HITEK platform.

Using the Schedule Page The Schedule page helps you manage appointments and control your shop’s availability. It provides a clear view of upcoming bookings and allows you to define when your business is open for scheduling. To begin, log into the HITEK web portal and open the Schedule section from the left navigation menu. Calendar Overview The Schedule page opens in a monthly calendar view. At the top of the calendar you will see the current month and year. Navigation arrows allow you to move forward or backward through different months. Each square on the calendar represents a day. Selecting a date displays the appointments scheduled for that day. On the right side of the screen you will see a panel that shows the selected date along with any appointments assigned to that day. This panel also includes an option to add a new appointment. Creating an Appointment If you need to schedule a job from the calendar, select Add New Appointment. This action redirects you to the booking process where the full job details are entered. The Schedule page itself is used to view appointments and manage availability. Actual bookings are created through the booking workflow. Managing Shop Availability In the top right area of the page you will find the Schedule and Availability option. Selecting this opens the scheduling settings for your shop. This section allows you to define your weekly operating schedule and block out times when appointments cannot be booked. Weekly Schedule The weekly schedule lists each day of the week. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Select the days your shop is open. For each active day, set the start and end times that represent your working hours. If a day is not selected, the system treats that day as unavailable for bookings. Unavailability Settings The Unavailability section allows you to block specific dates or time ranges when your shop cannot accept appointments. This can be used for holidays, training days, private events, shop closures, or partial day closures. Once an unavailability slot is created, the system prevents appointments from being scheduled during those times. Multiple Bookings Per Hour Another setting allows multiple bookings within the same time slot. Enabling this option allows overlapping jobs to appear on the schedule. Only use this setting if your shop has the staff or space to handle multiple installations at the same time. Saving Your Schedule

Creating Bookings in HITEK The booking system in HITEK helps you schedule jobs, organize customer information, and confirm services in one place. Whether you are scheduling architectural film, paint protection film, or automotive tint, the process follows the same structure. You start by selecting the job type, entering customer details, building the job, and confirming payment. Begin by logging into the HITEK web portal. From the left navigation menu, open the Bookings section. This page displays upcoming, ongoing, completed, and cancelled jobs. To schedule a new job, click Create Booking in the bottom right corner. Architectural Bookings Architectural bookings focus on window measurements and film selection rather than vehicle details. After selecting Architectural as the job type, enter the customer’s contact information and the full property address where the installation will take place. Then schedule the appointment by entering the date and time. Some shops also use this section to track delivery or staging times for materials. Once the appointment details are complete, move to the job builder. Here you choose the film that will be installed. Architectural films are organized by purpose. Security options include films such as Security Clear, Anti Graffiti, and Security Dyed. Solar control films include Ceramic DR, Ceramic Clear, Hybrid DR, Silver Reflective, Neutral View, Exterior Silver Reflective, and Bronze. Privacy films include Black Out, White Out, and Frost. After selecting the film type, begin adding windows to the project. Each entry requires the window height, width, and the quantity of identical windows. As windows are added, the system calculates the total square footage and updates the job summary automatically. If the project includes multiple window sizes, simply add another entry for each size. A notes section allows you to record installation details such as ladder access, second floor work, or special customer requests. The system automatically applies the price per square foot based on your preset pricing configuration, tho ugh it can be adjusted if necessary. Photos of the property or glass layout can also be uploaded for documentation. Before completing the booking, review the window count, film type, square footage, and total cost. Once everything looks correct, select the payment structure and send the booking to the customer. PPF Bookings Paint protection film bookings require vehicle information along with the protection package being installed. After selecting PPF as the job type, enter the customer’s contact information and appointment schedule. The next step is capturing the vehicle details. Select the correct vehicle category since vehicle size affects pricing. Then enter or scan the VIN and confirm the make, model, and year. Once the vehicle is confirmed, you can build the protection package. Many shops begin by selecting a package such as a front bumper package, partial front package, full front clip package, or full vehicle package. The system displays the areas covered within each package. Additional protection zones can be added if the customer wants extra coverage. Common add-ons include luggage areas, pillar roof sections, door edges, headlights, or rocker panels. Each additional zone automatically updates the price. Next, choose the film type being installed. Options may include PPF Ultra, PPF Ultra Matte, Black PPF, or White PPF depending on your configuration. Additional services can be added through the extras section. These might include tint removal, ceramic coating, or other services performed during installation. Custom extras can also be added if the service is not already listed. Photos of the vehicle can be uploaded to document its condition before installation. If necessary, the total price can also be adjusted manually using the custom price field. After reviewing the package, film type, additional zones, and total cost, select the payment structure and send the booking. Automotive Tint Bookings Automotive bookings focus on vehicle information, window coverage, and film selection. After selecting Automotive as the job type, enter the customer’s contact information and schedule the appointment. The next step captures the vehicle details. Select the vehicle category, then enter or scan the VIN. Confirm the make, model, and year before continuing. The job builder allows you to define the coverage for the tint installation. This may include full vehicle coverage, front windows only, rear windows only, or individual windows depending on the job. Shade selections can then be applied for the front windows and rear windows. If a section does not apply, it can simply be marked as not applicable. Additional services can be added through the add ons section. These often include sun strips, windshield tint, rear windshield tint, or sunroof coverage. Pricing updates automatically as services are selected. Next, select the tint package being installed. Film options may include standard film, carbon IR, ceramic IR, ceramic plus, hybrid, ceramic pro, or ceramic ultra depending on your shop’s configuration. Extras such as tint removal or other services can also be included. Photos can be uploaded if you want to document the vehicle before installation. Before finalizing the booking, review the job summary on the right side of the screen to confirm the customer information, appointment details, vehicle information, selected services, and total price. Once everything is verified, choose the payment structure and send the booking to the customer. Managing Bookings Efficiently Using the booking system inside HITEK keeps appointments, services, and pricing organized in a single workflow. Every job type follows the same general structure, which helps reduce mistakes and keeps scheduling consistent across your shop. By building bookings directly inside the platform, shops can track jobs, manage communication, and maintain accurate records from the first appointment through project completion.
