Beacon keeps back office teams on track with PRO+ while sheltering in place.

In our first and second segments of the Keep Working Safely & Remotely series, we talked about the Beacon PRO+ ability to offer online ordering and important sales tools for roofing companies.  During this time of national crisis with COVID-19, a high number of roofing office staff is now working from home.  Beacon PRO+ is focused on providing the ability for roofing contractor teams to work anytime from anywhere by utilizing important back office technology tools.

An important element of working remotely is knowing that materials are being delivered on time to the right location for crews working in the field.  Beacon offers the leading delivery system with their progressive delivery tracking program that provides real-time delivery notifications and order tracking for Beacon PRO+ customers and is now available in a majority of Beacon markets.

From any smart device, crews and project teams will know exactly when the ordered building and roofing supplies and materials will arrive with a complete confirmation of the order details in the company’s account.  No more wasting time wondering about the status of roofing material deliveries.  All team members can stay on track to finish projects, no matter where they are working. 

Delivery tracker provides contractors an efficient and accurate way to keep track of orders for every job through:   

• Advanced notice of scheduled delivery days

• Real-time delivery notifications

• Delivery confirmation photos

• Simultaneous management of multiple orders

• Optional status updates via email and text

The delivery tracker works hand-in-hand with online ordering and is so easy:

• Place Order: Beacon receives your order and begins processing for delivery. Review your order and verify everything you need is ordered correctly.  

• Schedule Order: Your order has a scheduled delivery date. Advance delivery notification so you can schedule your crews and notify the home or business owner.  

• Order Delivery: Order is delivered. Confirmation delivery photos allow you to view and ensure the correct materials are delivered to the job site.  

By using Beacon online ordering and delivery tracking during this time of sheltering In, roofing companies can continue to provide the essential work of protecting the nations buildings, businesses and families.  Roofing contractors can effectively manage jobs, job sites, deliveries and receipts all in one easy-to-use interface.  

And after the jobs, PRO+ offers the final efficiency tool Beacon PRO+ Promotion Tracking.  This program offers back office teams the flexibility to continually track important rebates automatically from anywhere.   It is a hassle-free way to track rewards, keeping track of manufacturer promotions while viewing projected rebates with the click of a button.
