Whether you’re sitting at your desk or on the go at the jobsite, Roof Hub offers real-time delivery tracking, invoice history, easy online ordering, training, interactive storm maps and more! 

Now in a series of quick videos, you can see for yourself the many ways that Roof Hub is dedicated to serving the professional roofing contractor. John will walk you through highlights of the best features this roofing platform has to offer you. Features such as: 

Smart Templates with ItemMatch Recommendations  

Roof Hub smart template technology is on full display during this quick video that shows you how easy it is to create and place orders using Roof Hub. Rather than asking you to comb through 60,000 SKU's to build an order, Roof Hub uses artificial intelligence by diving into your SRS order history to build a smart template based on the items that you order most. Plus, you can save and edit any SRS order into a template by simply pushing a button.  

The platform uses AI to make product recommendations based on the most common items you purchase within that category should you change any items on your order, finding the most purchased items from your order history so that your employees always order correctly. 

Real-time delivery tracking 

Did you know that Roof Hub utilizes Google’s crowdsourcing technology to ensure a significantly more accurate delivery time? That is right Roof Hub continuously updates where your delivery is, accounting for the driver's speed and data from vehicles on the route they are traveling. Roof Hub contractors know more than an estimate of when their order will arrive, they know exactly when it will arrive.  

Contractors love the peace of mind of knowing that their time is not going to be wasted waiting at the job site for their delivery to arrive. Plus, homeowners love the experience of an efficient delivery and job completed. 

Show past orders 

Studies suggest that demonstrating positive social proof is more effective at persuading people than promising them you have the best quality. Social proof selling is a psychological phenomenon where people conform to the actions of others because they assume those actions convey the best action. This tactic has been used successfully within marketing for decades.  

Roof Hub works to give you the ability to easily provide social proof of your business by showcasing the number of homeowners who made you their contractor of choice for the project. If you click on show past orders button, Roof Hub will auto populate the location of all the deliveries they have made for you in the past five years, gifting you a powerful feature to offer social proof to your prospect that you can trust. 

Interactive storm maps 

Did you know Roof Hub provides free weather maps? If you go to the menu bar and click weather, you'll see that SRS has partnered with predictive sales AI to help you hit the ground running after a storm. On the left hand side, you'll see a list of all the recent weather events which provides the date of the event, the event location, number of homes affected and the size of the hail. If you click on the date location link the map will take you to that location and show you a five-year history of storms in the area.

Jobsite delivery photos 

Have you ever had a client try to blame you for driveway damage that you know you didn't do? How much do these claims cost you? Roof Hub users can now reduce these claims by letting their clients know about SRS delivery photos. Now, during the sales process, contractors can tell their clients SRS provides before, during and after photos of the delivery process ensuring that they treated the client's property as if it was their own. Use the power of photos to ensure homeowners that you will be held accountable for any damage done by way of delivery and that you will work to protect their property.
