For a roofing company with one to three crews that quotes from the driveway. Jobber is the best general home-service office. Roofr is the best roofing sales tool. Bestimate is the one built by a roofer to run the whole day from the truck. Where they beat us, it says so.
Three tools, three different companies. Find the sentence that sounds like your week.
Four crews across roofing, siding and gutters, a bookkeeper who lives in QuickBooks, and staff who need time tracking and GPS. Jobber is the safer choice today and we will tell you so.
You want an aerial report back in hours without drawing it yourself, an instant estimator on your website, and material ordering wired to your supplier. That is what they are best at.
One to three crews, and you are the estimator, the scheduler, the invoicer and the crew boss. You quote from the driveway and do the office at nine at night. That is the whole reason this exists.

If you run four crews across three trades and your bookkeeper lives in QuickBooks, Jobber is the safer choice today. If you sell roofs from aerial reports and want the estimator on your website, Roofr does that better than anyone. If you are one to three crews, quote from the driveway, and want the office to disappear into your phone, Bestimate was built for you. Built by a roofing company.
If the third card sounded like your week, that is who the pilot is for.
