Integration

Send automated SMS updates to solar and roofing customers

Stop playing phone tag with customers and chasing up project updates manually. Your phone rings 20+ times a day with customers asking when their solar panels will arrive or when the roof repairs start. Gridwolf's Twilio SMS automation for solar and roofing businesses sends timely project updates, appointment reminders, and payment notifications automatically. Your customers stay informed while your team focuses on actual installations instead of answering the same questions over and over.

Customers constantly calling for updates

Your team spends hours each day fielding calls from anxious customers wanting to know when their solar installation will start or when the roof repairs will be finished. This constant interruption kills productivity and pulls your best people away from billable work. A typical solar job generates 8-12 customer calls from quote to completion, with each call taking 5-10 minutes. Your qualified electricians end up spending 2 hours daily on the phone instead of installing panels or running cables.

Missed appointments costing thousands

When customers forget site inspections or installation appointments, you're left with idle crews and wasted travel time. A single missed appointment for a solar install can cost you $800+ in lost productivity, and rebooking delays the entire project timeline. Last week you sent three guys to a roofing job only to find the customer wasn't home and had forgotten completely. That's a full day's wages down the drain plus another week delay while you reschedule around their availability and the weather.

Payment delays stretching cash flow

Customers forget about outstanding invoices without gentle reminders, leaving you chasing payments weeks after job completion. Late payments hurt your cash flow and make it harder to manage materials purchases and crew wages. Solar jobs especially hurt because you've already outlaid thousands for panels and inverters, then wait 30+ days for payment while the customer enjoys their new system. A single $15K solar job paid late can mess up your entire month's cash flow planning.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

When you update a job status in QuoteWolf from 'Quote Accepted' to 'Scheduled', the system automatically sends an SMS confirming the installation date and what the customer needs to prepare. No more manually calling each customer to confirm details or answer the same preparation questions.

On installation day, customers receive an automatic 'We're on our way' message with your crew's ETA when you mark the job as 'In Progress'. Your guys arrive to find customers ready and waiting instead of scrambling to move cars or clear roof access. The customer feels professional service without you lifting a finger.

After job completion, the system sends payment reminders at 7, 14 and 30 days if invoices remain unpaid. Customers get gentle nudges about their outstanding solar installation invoice while you focus on the next job. Most pay within the first reminder, and you never have to chase anyone manually again.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with solar STC certificate delays and council approval timelines?

Yes. You can set up custom message templates for solar-specific delays like STC processing or council approval holdups. The system sends automatic updates explaining delays beyond your control, keeping customers informed without you having to make awkward phone calls about bureaucratic holdups.

Can customers reply to SMS messages or do they just receive them?

Customers can reply to messages and you'll see their responses in Gridwolf. This lets them ask quick questions or confirm appointment changes via text instead of calling your office. Your admin team can respond from the dashboard without juggling multiple phone calls throughout the day.

What happens if a roofing job gets delayed due to weather?

You can trigger weather delay messages directly from the job management screen when you reschedule work. The system sends automatic notifications explaining the delay and new timeline, so customers understand why their roof repairs got pushed back without you having to explain weather safety to every single customer.
