Digital Ordering is a Game Changer for Roofing

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS COO. 

We order products from our phones and computers every day for convenience, so why not do the same with your roofing materials? 

Let’s face it, ordering products digitally is the new way of shopping. It’s taken hold for consumers at a rapid pace, with Statista research showing 256 million digital buyers in the U.S. And that number is expected to grow to 291 million by 2025.   

We’ve come to expect the convenience and ease of shopping online in our personal lives, so why shouldn’t we expect that same convenience and ease when purchasing for our business? As an industry-leading roofing materials supplier, ABC Supply recognized this growing shift and developed myABCSupply to help roofing contractors request measurement services, purchase materials, track deliveries, make payments and manage their purchasing accounts all from the convenience of their phone, tablet or computer. 

Contractors love the convenience, as evidenced by the reviews being left in the App Store and on Google Play: 

• User FredGreg writes, “Best Supplier App. I love that I can get pictures of my job deliveries right through the app. This is a huge deal for me to help get my crews going. I like that I can get invoices for all my jobs in the past couple of years. So far pretty great. I am excited for what the future holds with this app.” 

• Stars and Stripes Roofing shared, “Perfect app for keeping track of all orders, deliveries and purchases. One less thing to worry about.” 

• Roy Henderson writes, “Love the professionalism.” 

The tool’s order templates even allow you to cut your order placement time in half by setting up a template for frequently ordered materials.  Access to information on your orders and their whereabouts is game changing as well. You can confidently communicate with your customers about when their materials will be delivered and use the information to maximize crew efficiency.  

The customization features allow you to decide each of your team members’ level of access so you have control over who can place orders and limit what information is visible to them. The ABC Supply app is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish and Polish. With team members viewing information in their preferred language, expect to see communications improve and misunderstandings be a thing of the past.  

The tool is even integrated with software you already use. You can order roof reports in under an hour with GAF QuickMeasure, pull an EagleView aerial report, use HOVER’s 3D modeling for estimates, and quote and order materials through AccuLynx.
