The Challenge

Commercial roofing projects are inherently complex. Each job requires careful coordination of surveys, quotations, risk assessments, material procurement, scheduling, and compliance documentation. This organisation needed a system that could handle:

  • 1
    Multiple Work Types: From quick emergency callouts to multi-month projects worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, each requiring different workflows and approvals.
  • 2
    Health & Safety Compliance: Construction Phase Plans, Risk Assessments, Method Statements, and Work at Height Permits must be generated and approved for every job.
  • 3
    Field Coordination: Engineers across the UK need real-time access to job details, the ability to capture on-site information, and instant communication with the office.
  • 4
    Financial Integration: Seamless connection with Xero accounting to manage invoicing across thousands of jobs without manual data entry.
