Chapter 4:
Marketing with your Auto Sentry
This chapter includes information on using your Auto Sentry® flex to promote and market your car
wash. In this section you can find information about the following: custom buttons, video clips,
profiles and profile times, tokens, fundraisers, and time-limited PLUs.
Custom Buttons
Custom buttons are used in place of the standard buttons presented to customers at the Select
Wash and Select Extra Services screens.
You can enable custom buttons to make your Auto Sentry® flex stand out in various ways:

Custom buttons can increase brand recognition for your car wash.

They can be used with time-sensitive profiles to offer a different look and feel for special
promotional periods.

They can include familiar product logos for tire shine, wax, and more.
About Custom Buttons, PLUs, and Profiles
Your custom button is assigned to one or more PLU number in the Sales Item tab. The PLU is
added to a profile, which may contain other PLUs. Other PLUs in the profile can also link to custom
buttons. (If not, then a combination of standard and custom buttons will appear).
When the profile is active, based on settings in the
Schedules dialog box, then the custom
buttons will be used at the Auto Sentry® flex touchscreen.
Different sized buttons are displayed based on how many services are contained in the profile. For
example, if the profile contains two services, then the extra large button size is used. But if the
profile contains six services, then the small button size is used.
