How roofing contractors capture measurements, document storm damage, and submit carrier-ready scopes from the job site.

The measurement dispute problem
The most contested item in any roofing claim is the measurement. Was it 32 squares or 28? Did the adjuster measure the pitch correctly? Every square in dispute is revenue lost.
Instant Geometry™ — measurements before you arrive
When you create a job in Estimatics, a satellite-generated roof sketch is produced automatically — dimensions, pitch, facets, and total area. On FIELD, Instant Geometry™ delivers ~80% accuracy. On SCOPE, field photos and COLMAP processing bring it to ~90%.
You show up to the roof with measurements already in hand. Supplement with field observations during the inspection. The measurement dispute disappears.
Documenting storm damage that holds up
Every photo captured with the Estimatics iOS app is automatically tagged with GPS coordinates and NTP-synchronized timestamps. The carrier cannot claim the photos were taken elsewhere or at a different time.
AI Scope Generation™ reviews your field photos and produces a line-item scope organized by area. Every item is tied to the specific photo that supports it.
Quick Estimate PDF from the truck
Generate a homeowner-ready Quick Estimate PDF before you start your engine. Share it via link or email. The homeowner has a number before the carrier's adjuster even schedules their visit.
