What is Roofing Software?

Roofing Software helps roofing contractors gauge the amount of work and materials needed for a job. This type of software automates many of the daily administrative tasks associated with a roofing business.

The benefits of Roofing Software

• Accurate estimates: If an estimate is too high, the job will go to another contractor; if it’s too low, the customer will be upset when the price goes up. Roofing software helps avoid these scenarios by allowing contractors to accurately estimate the costs of labor and materials. Additionally, aerial measurement capabilities using GPS or drone technology make it easier to accurately determine roof size.
• Simplified scheduling: Roofing software makes it easy to track team assignments, know the location of equipment, and track materials availability to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth operations.
• Improved customer relationships: Customer relationship management (CRM) features help roofing companies stay organized, track customer interactions, and improve lead conversion. CRM features are especially important in an industry where reputation is everything and positive customer experiences result in good reviews and more business.

Typical features of roofing software

• Scheduling: Plan personnel availability and assign specific timeslots for tasks.
• Work order management: Create job plans and assign tasks to team members, and track the status of each task.
• Billing & invoicing: Create invoices based on customer records, print and send them to customers, and record information in the accounting system.
• Checklists & inspections: Create checklists and to-do lists that can be used during inspections.
• CRM: Manage customer contacts and leads while tracking interactions with clients and prospects.
• Photo capture: Organize job site photos, allow comments/mark-ups, and allow sharing with staff, clients, and other contractors.
• Quotes/estimates: Generate quote and estimate forms to send to customers.

Considerations when purchasing Roofing Software

Roofing software is often sold as a niche application made specifically for roofing and siding contractors. However, some roofing software systems are also sold as part of a larger suite of general construction software.

Niche roofing software vendors typically provide a wider range of features. Roofing-specific features in construction software suites are generally limited, although these products tend to include more support or other services typical of a large vendor.

Relevant Roofing Software trends

• Mobile apps enabling on-site crews: Until recently, most roofing software mobile apps focused primarily on sales and CRM functionalities. However, mobile apps are increasingly designed to enable on-site crew members to communicate with each another, access data, and share images and videos.
• Software integrations fueling efficiency: Roofing software integrations continue to improve, with many vendors offering options to connect with everything from accounting software to drone technology.
