About

Bid like a company with an estimating department. Without hiring one.

CleverIntel™ was built by people who price commercial roofs for a living, so it asks the questions you would ask standing on one.

Why we built this

More coating work out there than one company can reach.

CleverIntel was built by CleverCoat, a commercial roofing company in Elkhorn, Nebraska that restores and coats low slope roofs for a living.

There is more of that work in these markets than any one contractor can get to. So rather than compete with every roofing company for it, we built the tools we use to find it, price it and deliver it, and opened them up.

You keep your name on the job and your relationship with the customer. We cover the parts that are hard to stand up on your own: the market scan, the pricing, the material account, the claims specialist and a certified crew when you need one.

What we're trying to change

One job on the roof. Six more off it.

Putting a commercial roof on is one job. Finding the property, pricing it, getting it signed, ordering the material, documenting the install and working a storm claim are six more. Those six decide how much work a company can take on.

That used to mean hiring: an estimator, then a coordinator, then somebody for the paperwork, then somebody who knows claims.

So we built five of them into software, put people on the sixth, and priced the lot as one program. You find the property, price the roof, take the signature, order the material and close the job out, on the day you start. When a job turns into a storm claim, a claims specialist we work with picks it up from inside the bid.

What it replaces

Six hires, or one subscription

Every one of these jobs has to get done on a commercial roof. The only question is whether you carry six people to do them.

What changes first

Three things that change in the first week

You have more to go after

Scan a ZIP and the commercial roofs worth a call come back ranked. When one turns into a bid, the takeoff comes back while you are still standing on the roof.

You buy like a national account

Material on the job prices off an account we negotiate with the manufacturers. No volume tier to reach first and no rebate to wait on at the end of the year.

Your name is on all of it

Your logo goes on the bids and the reports, with your terms and your company on the document. Your customer, your relationship.

None of it needs you to learn a new trade. You answer what's on the roof, and the arithmetic is already done.

Nothing to unwind

Already in a program? You don't have to leave it.

Plenty of commercial roofers already belong to a manufacturer program, a dealer network or a buying group. None of it competes with this, and nothing has to come apart first.

What you give up

Nothing

  • No territory and nothing exclusive
  • No volume tiers to hit
  • No rebate threshold to chase at year end
  • No franchise and no royalty
  • No equity in your business
  • Nothing to give up to join

What you keep

All of it

The document goes out under your name. The customer is yours, the relationship is yours, and if you ever leave, it leaves with you.

What we built

Find it. Inspect it. Bid it. Win it.

This is what one subscription covers, start to finish.

Find it

The properties worth a call

Scan a ZIP, upload a property list, or look up one address. Commercial roofs come back ranked by condition, each measured from the air and sent under your logo.

Inspect it

Eyes on the roof

Order a drone scan, standard or thermal, when you want to see a roof before you commit a number to it. It lands on that property with the rest of the job.

Bid it

Priced and signed

The engine prices the roof line by line, publishes it under your logo, and takes a signature on a tablet or through a private link.

Buy it

Like a national account

Material on the job prices off an account we negotiate with the manufacturers. No volume tier to reach first and no rebate to wait on at the end of the year.

Order it

Instant takeoff

Approve the bid and the quantities become a material order. You name who it goes to in the portal, and our supply side can take it if you want us to.

Document it

Insurance review

Start one from inside the bid, and a claims specialist we work with picks it up with the bid and your documents already attached.

One price, however many people you put on it

A crew when you are short and the daily logs that close a job out are in it too. Seats are not counted and none of it is billed separately.
