Product Tour

ScopeAssist - Roof Estimating Software

Built by contractors for contractors – transforming the scoping process by driving accuracy and speed in the estimation process, providing a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Problem

As the best roofing contractors know, profitability and driving consumer confidence to win bids is a result of thorough inspections that result in accurate estimates. The gap between a lead and an accurate estimate is where good companies are separated from great companies.

The challenges to bridge this gap are many, including: 

• Inspecting and scoping the property efficiently and thoroughly
• Understanding how to handle different material types, damage, penetrations, etc.
• Remembering company and local rules – and then applying and translating them into an estimate
• Performing time-consuming and complex calculations
• Selecting the correct estimate items from among thousands is required
• Performing inspections while taking notes on a pads or forms (double-entry errors)

Contractors need to know how to collect property data for risk assessment, identifying and documenting hazards such as:  accessibility, multi-stories, open cornice, dogs, swimming pools, trampolines, and other hazards. Further, the contractors are required to identify materials and apply complex aerial CAD reports.

Getting these steps right take time – time that could be spent with the homeowner or servicing new leads.  If corners are cut, the material quantities, construction needs, and customer experience suffer along with profit margins.  Accurate and consistent estimation depends largely upon a contractor’s knowledge, memory, interpretations, decision-making, and the scratch pad data.  

• As a salesman, you wish for a simple tool
• As a sales manager, training should not be so time-consuming
• As a production manager, good estimates and scopes drive on-time delivery
• As an owner, profitability and excellent service drive your business

The Solution

ScopeAssist is a software-based solution that transforms the onsite inspection and scope automation process so that contractors can focus on the customer, scale their sales teams, and win more business.

ScopeAssist is a two-step solution comprised of:

› Digital inspection tool:  The contractor gathers inspection data using the ScopeAssist app on a mobile device - instead of the traditional pen and pad of paper.

› Decision intelligence engine (private cloud-based software):  The onsite inspection data is transmitted wirelessly to the proprietary ScopeAssist decision intelligence engine, which automates the following proactive steps within 90 seconds:

1. Validates inspection data
2. Builds a model of the situation
3. Applies numerous rule sets based on geometry, best practices, guidelines, cost estimating data, building codes and aerial CAD data as available, etc.
4. Automates the scope of repair
5. Integrates with third-party cost estimating tools to generate an estimate

ScopeAssist helps all stakeholders and provides value, simplicity, and reassurance that you have a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
