Increase sales efficiency with technology solutions that fit your business.

When looking at software and software companies, many roofing contractors get a little freaked out.  What is the right software?  How much trouble is it going to be to implement?  Will it really make a difference with our business?

The answers to those questions usually circle around the partner/software you pick.  It is important to take the time and really understand what you need in your business - and that means research.  Talking to other contractors and seeing what they are using and how it works.  Online research of reviews and testimonials and having your employees take the time to demo the software.  It’s not always easy to incorporate new software into your business, so you want to go into it with eyes wide open.

Software companies are also looking at things differently.  One company, Jobba Technologies (creators of FCS Roofing Software and JOBBA) recently completely re-thought how software should be designed for roofing contractors. Rather than asking how to make business processes fit into a standard CRM solution, they built a technology interface that mirrors the way roofing contractors actually do business.

They consulted with several successful roofing contractors and realized that there were opportunities to streamline the tasks that are necessary to do every day for roofing production success.  Opportunities that, before now, were being overlooked in other roofing management tools. 

For example, they realized that many contractors could not create a professional estimate directly from an app. The estimator was required to travel back to the office to upload photos and enter data into another system.  That became one of the first changes, making sure that their new roofing software would allow an estimator to provide a professional estimate right there on the job site, removing the need to go back to the office at the end of the day.

This simple ability is not only great for customer relations and overall satisfaction, but it also saves estimators time and energy, which makes for higher employee engagement and retention.  It also helps the bottom line as well.  But, until your team “demos” the software, you are not going to know if it is for you or not.

Jobba Trade Technologies is revolutionizing the way roofing companies operate and compete in today’s ever-changing marketplace.  Take the time for a detailed look at how their roofing software can assist your crews with inspections, estimating, report preparation and more.
