In short
Operations, Alprosper's job management software, can now measure a roof from satellite imagery or a traced outline and turn the numbers into a quick estimate. It also adds a phone assistant line your team can call to look up jobs and appointments, or send an estimate, invoice or agreement to a customer.
Measure from the map
Measure a roof from satellite, or trace it on the map yourself, and use the numbers straight away in a quick estimate. Eaves, rakes, ridges, hips and valleys can be measured point to point, which is what you need to order drip edge and the other linear materials.
A phone line for your team
Your team can call the phone assistant line to look up jobs and appointments, send an estimate, invoice or agreement to a customer, or get a crew photo link by text. It helps when someone is on a roof or in a truck and can't open a laptop.
Also new
- Labor and materials margins on estimates, with lines grouped and add-ons listed on their own
- Start a quick estimate from any set of measurements
- A banner picture on the estimate cover, such as a strip of team photos
- Maintenance plans that can be ticked on an estimate and start when it's signed
- A drywall starter setup, with a price book and quick estimates priced by the count
Questions
- Can Operations measure a roof without a site visit?
- Yes. It can measure a roof from satellite imagery, or you can trace the roof on the map, and the measurements feed a quick estimate.
- Can my crew look up a job by phone?
- Yes. The phone assistant line lets your team call in to look up jobs and appointments, send documents to a customer, or get a crew photo link by text.
