Estimating software for roofers
Roofing bids are won on speed. Three companies look at the same roof; the one whose estimate arrives first is disproportionately likely to get the job, particularly after a storm when everyone is calling everyone.
Takeoff on the roof, not at the kitchen table
Enter squares, pitch and layer count on the phone. Waste and markup come from your own numbers, so the price is final rather than provisional.
