Roof Scout
Scout Technology Group
Roof Scout is a digital sales assistant that comes to life as a salesperson designed to close more roofing deals. Powered by a proprietary algorithm, the system uses artificial intelligence and behavioral science to assess a prospect's personality and adapt presentations to best make the sale. Not only will it improve sales outcomes, but being able to match the homeowner’s personality profile will lead to higher customer satisfaction and stronger referrals.
Roof Scout also enhances the customer experience by using real-time pricing in a media player, which increases engagement and retention during the sales process. The program earned the People’s Choice Award at IRE in the Business and Technology Software and Services category.
Instant Design
Hover
Hover, a leader in 3-D modeling in the residential space for nearly 10 years, unveiled Instant Design, an AI-powered visualizer that roofing contractors and homeowners can use collaboratively in real time on virtually any project.
Built from Hover’s database of millions of homes served across North America over the past decade, there’s virtually no roof shape, pitch, color or feature that a curious customer can’t see for themselves before signing the contract.
Hover’s design sentiment survey recently found that two-thirds of construction pros say homeowners have higher design expectations than they did just five years ago. Yet visualization tools are used in less than one-third of projects completed, said Kevin Sturm, Hover’s head of product and industry marketing.
The Instant Design program is easy to use, easier to explain, and should allow roofing contractors to talk less, show more and close sales faster, Sturm added. With a tool that has unlimited capabilities when it comes to inspiring homeowners to stretch their imaginations, roofers can set themselves apart and create a unique customer experience.
