Client Profile

A prominent commercial roofing company has established itself as a leader in the industry since the early 1990s, providing exceptional service and asset protection to major corporations and building owners across the Western United States. Specializing in energy-efficient "Cool-Roof" systems for commercial, industrial, office, and multi-family properties, this organization has built a reputation for quality and innovation.

With annual production exceeding $50 million and a workforce of employees in the hundreds, this company stands out in their industry for their forward-thinking approach to technology adoption. However, as their business expanded, they encountered challenges that required a more sophisticated technological solution.

The Challenge: Growing Pains in a Growing Business

Despite being ahead of the curve in technology adoption compared to industry peers, the client faced two critical challenges:

Sales Pipeline Management: As the company's sales team expanded, their existing systems infrastructure couldn't provide the focused tools needed to effectively manage, nurture, and optimize their sales pipeline. The sales process lacked a structured follow-up system, creating inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

Cross-Entity Visibility: Following strategic acquisitions, the management team needed comprehensive, real-time visibility into their sales pipeline across multiple business entities. Without this unified view, forecasting and strategic planning became increasingly difficult.

The client's technology ecosystem already included a proprietary backoffice solution, construction financial accounting system, field service operations tool, data aggregation platform, and business intelligence capabilities. What they needed wasn't a replacement for these systems, but rather an integration solution that would enhance their functionality while addressing specific operational pain points.
