Quote onlyRoofing-specific CRM and production management
Best for: Roofing companies with a sales team and meaningful insurance restoration work
Often sold as "field service management", this is the system of record for your work: the customer list, the quote, the calendar, the tech on the way, the invoice, and the payment. For most home-service businesses it is the one piece of software you cannot run without, and it should be the first thing you buy. The category splits roughly three ways โ light tools for solo operators, team platforms for 2โ20 person shops, and heavy platforms for established companies with dispatchers and call takers.
