Built for roofers

The calls a roofer misses, and what happens to each one.

It answers like a good offsider would, and it doesn't make promises you didn't make: only your suburbs, only your free times, and never a price outside your own price guide.

Leaks in the rain

If the caller says water's coming in, it's texted straight to you.

Storm damage and lifted sheets

Urgent calls come to you, routine ones get booked in, so you can work through the backlog.

Gutters and downpipes

Books the quote or job into a free time in a suburb you cover.

Cracked tiles and re-pointing

Captures the job, the suburb and how urgent it is.

Restoration and re-roof quotes

Books the inspection. Never prices outside your own price guide.

Callers who hang up

A text back within seconds, so they don't ring the next roofer on the list.

What lands on your phone

Run the whole thing by text. From the ute.

No logins, no app, no portal. You get a text when there's a job, and you reply like you'd reply to your mate.

FAQ

Fair questions from roofers.

Storms bring a flood of calls. What happens then?

Calls you don't pick up divert to it. Anything the caller says is urgent, like water coming through the ceiling, is texted straight to you. Everything else is booked into your free times or waits in your texts for you to reply.

Will it promise someone today?

No. It only offers times you're actually free and doesn't make promises you didn't make. Urgent jobs come to you so you can decide.

Can it handle quote requests for a full restoration?

It takes the details and books a time for you to look. It never quotes outside your own price guide.
