Solution

Send polished roofing proposals automatically

Manual proposal creation is killing your roofing business productivity and costing you jobs. You're stuck building quotes from scratch while your competitors are already in the customer's inbox with professional proposals. Australian roofing contractors lose an average of 3-4 jobs per month because their quotes arrive too late or look unprofessional compared to larger companies. Our roofing proposal automation software transforms how you quote, follow up, and convert leads into paying customers.

Hours lost on manual quotes

You get a text from a homeowner at 6pm asking for a roof replacement quote. You spend Tuesday evening measuring, calculating materials, writing up the proposal, and formatting it to look professional. By the time you email it Wednesday morning, they've already signed with the roofing company that sent a polished quote Tuesday night. Manual quote creation doesn't just waste your time — it actively costs you jobs because speed wins in competitive markets.

Inconsistent proposal quality

One quote has your logo crooked, another misses the material breakdown, and last week's proposal had the wrong ABN printed. Your proposals look different every time because you're building them from scratch or copying old Word documents. Meanwhile, customers are comparing your handwritten scribbles against professionally branded proposals from companies using proper systems. Inconsistent formatting makes you look like a one-man band instead of the established roofing contractor you actually are.

Lost leads from poor follow-up

That $15,000 colorbond re-roof quote you sent three weeks ago? The customer never responded, and you never followed up because you forgot to put a reminder in your phone. Studies show 80% of roofing sales require 5+ touchpoints, but you're lucky to remember the second call. Without systematic follow-up, you're essentially paying for leads through Google Ads or trade directories, then throwing half of them away.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

Monday morning starts differently when you automate proposals. Instead of spending 45 minutes building quotes from scratch, you open QuoteWolf on your phone while still on site. Input the measurements from your roof inspection, select materials from your preset options, and generate a professional proposal in under 2 minutes. The customer gets a branded PDF in their inbox before you've even left their driveway.

Your automated follow-up system takes over from there. Day 3 sends a friendly check-in email asking if they have questions. Day 7 includes testimonials from similar jobs you've completed. Day 14 offers a limited-time bonus like free gutter cleaning. You're not manually tracking which customers to call or sending awkward 'just checking in' texts — the system handles it professionally while you focus on the actual roofing work.

When customers are ready to proceed, they click 'Accept Quote' and immediately pay their deposit through integrated Stripe processing. No more chasing deposits or losing jobs because payment was too complicated. The accepted quote automatically creates a job in your system with all materials, timeline, and customer details pre-populated. You've gone from manual proposal creation to automated job management without touching a single piece of paperwork.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customise the roofing proposal templates for different job types?

Yes, you can create separate templates for roof repairs, full replacements, guttering, and solar installations. Each template includes relevant terms, warranties, and pricing structures. For example, your colorbond replacement template automatically includes 15-year warranty language and bushfire rating details, while your repair template focuses on specific damage areas and material matching.

How does the software handle GST and QBCC compliance requirements?

All proposals automatically include your QBCC license number, correct GST calculations, and required consumer protection warnings for jobs over $3,300. The system ensures every quote meets Queensland fair trading requirements and formats pricing to clearly separate GST components for your BAS reporting. Integration with Xero or MYOB means your accepted quotes flow directly into your accounting system with proper job codes.

What happens if material prices change after I send a proposal?

Your proposals include standard 30-day validity periods to protect against price fluctuations. For jobs that extend beyond this timeframe, the system can automatically adjust pricing based on current supplier rates when the customer accepts. You can also lock in material costs by pre-ordering through integrated supplier connections, ensuring your quoted margins stay intact even on longer sales cycles.
