The shelf-of-tools this one offering removes
Categories, not brand names — pricing benchmarks observed from public pricing pages, agency proposals, and freelance rates current to the year. Every range is backed by a line-by-line worksheet you can audit once your trial is live.
| What you'd otherwise buy | Type | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Roofing-CRM procurement modules | SaaS | $169–$398/user/mo (bundled in seat licenses) |
| A procurement specialist (allocated) | Labor | $25k–$45k/yr for 1–3 crews |
What you'd pay elsewhere vs. what this costs you here
Vendor ranges observed from public pricing pages and agency proposals, current to the year. Full source worksheet shared with you once your trial is live.
What it adds to your business in dollars
A 2–3% material-cost reduction at parity buying is normal once you can see the prices change in real time. On a roofer doing $2M with 30% materials cost, that’s $12k–$18k recovered per year — every year.
Three or four moves. Then you walk away.
You: Tell us your suppliers + your standard SKUs.
System: We start tracking the price feed nightly.
You: Watch the toolbar.
System: When a price drops on a SKU you ordered recently, it lights up. Re-quote your open jobs.
The outcomes this feature feeds into
Before you ask
Do you negotiate prices for me?
No — we don’t become a layer between you and your supplier rep. We surface the data so your existing relationships work better. You keep the rep; we just stop you flying blind.
Which manufacturers are tracked?
GAF, Owens Corning, Malarkey, IKO, CertainTeed at V1 — the brands publishing list pricing. Regional + specialty brands added on request when there’s a published price feed to ingest.
Can I add my own supplier’s pricing?
Yes — paste in their price list, we OCR + structure it, and from then on you get drop alerts when your reps update it.
What about lead-time tracking?
Tracked alongside price. The system flags when a SKU you order regularly is showing a lead-time stretch (a leading indicator of price increases).
Does this work for distributors, not just manufacturers?
Yes — most roofers buy from a distributor at a markup over the manufacturer list. We track both layers when both publish, and we surface the spread.
See material orders and supplier pricing handled without a phone call.
Then put the margin back where it belongs.
No credit card. No strings. We stand the whole platform up on a subdomain alongside your existing site so you can compare the numbers directly — leads, bookings, ticket size. The Standard guarantee covers cancellation between day 90 and day 180 at full refund.
