Through many in-depth conversations with roofing business owners, salespeople, and production managers, we have learned that two of the biggest challenges for roofing companies are (1) being perceived as professional and trustworthy in order to sell more jobs and (2) increasing visibility and efficiency in order to grow revenue and maximize profits

As such, many roofing contractors are looking to upgrade from paper documents and white boards, as well as generalized software solutions such as Google Workspace and Microsoft, to adopting software that has been designed specifically for the trades and roofing businesses. 

In this post, we share eleven roofing apps for your business, divided into two categories: apps for CRM and business management, and apps for selling (measuring and estimating). We’ll start with our own roofing contractor software, ServiceTitan.

CRM and Business Management Apps for Roofers

1. ServiceTitan

Roofing companies are using some of ServiceTitan’s foundational features to solve important challenges in their business, such as gaining better visibility in their financial and operational data, providing impressive customer experiences, and improving their marketing efforts. 

Roofing companies will continue to benefit more from our platform as we roll out new features with the goal of providing a true all-in-one solution for roofing contractors. 

Presently, roofing businesses benefit most from using ServiceTitan in the following ways:

Centralize Your Customer and Job Data (and Access It Anywhere)

ServiceTitan offers a customer relationship management (CRM) system to record, store, and access all of your customer and job data, beginning the moment a potential roofing customer calls in.

Our call booking functionality provides CSRs and office staff with the name and contact information of the incoming caller, and prompts them to fill out a series of form fields that ensure they collect all of the necessary information to kick off a potential roofing job. 

From the booking page, they can view the availability of their sales team, assign a team member to the job, and schedule a visit if the business or homeowner agrees to have someone come out.

At that point, a customer page is automatically created in which their contact information and job details can be stored as the job progresses. This data can be shared and accessed from the office via our desktop application, as well as remotely from a job site or elsewhere through the ServiceTitan mobile app (compatible with iOS and Android devices). 

Users also have the option to create a roofing project page in which financials can be tracked, appointments can be made, material orders can be placed, and other aspects of project management carried out.

Offer Modern and Impressive Customer Experiences

ServiceTitan offers a variety of features that help roofing businesses communicate professionalism and trustworthiness with their customers.

For example, our dispatching functionality includes text message notifications and Uber-style GPS tracking that keeps customers up to date about when salespeople or field supervisors and crews are scheduled to arrive.

During the sales process, salespeople have the ability to offer financing to prospects that can get approved quickly, improving customer experiences while helping to close more sales.

And upon completion of a job, companies can also offer convenient payment options — including cash, check, or credit card — right from their mobile device (iPhone, iPad, etc.). 

Gain More Visibility with Access to Real-Time Business Data

One of the big challenges for roofing contractors is getting timely and accurate financial data to track their cash flow and the overall health and performance of their business.

This is one area where ServiceTitan roofing software can deliver immense value. With ServiceTitan reporting, roofing contractors get a complete real-time view of their most important business KPIs, including:

  • Sales numbers

  • Revenue trends

  • Booking and conversion rates

  • And much more

They also have the ability to customize dashboards and create in-depth reports, allowing them to drill down into the sources of the numbers being reported in their financial data, as well as roll up multiple tenants into single reports, making ServiceTitan a particularly powerful platform for enterprise roofing businesses.

Understand the True ROI of Marketing Efforts to Optimize Your Campaigns

One of the most important aspects of effectively marketing a roofing business is measuring the ROI of your various channels and campaigns so you can know which campaigns are performing well and which are not. 

ServiceTitan makes this data easily accessible to roofing companies, eliminating the struggle to understand ROI. Specifically, ServiceTitan offers campaign-tracking telephone numbers and real-time ROI reporting for all of your marketing campaigns.

For each of your campaigns, you can track the number of calls they brought in, the jobs your reps booked from these calls, and the actual sales results of those jobs. You can also calculate the ROI on your roofing advertising campaigns as ServiceTitan identifies how much revenue you make from each ad, and breaks it down into cost per lead.

By measuring the marketing ROI of each campaign, ServiceTitan helps roofing companies:

  • Know how much revenue each roofing marketing campaign generates.

  • Track how well staff convert leads into jobs and sales.

  • Focus marketing dollars on the campaigns that actually make money.

  • Stop wasting money on ads — and platforms — that don’t perform.
