The "Inventory Chaos" Problem
Unpredictable hailstorms spike demand for asphalt shingles overnight, leaving you scrambling for underlayment without enough on hand
Off-season slumps bury your yard in unused nails and ladders, draining cash flow when jobs are scarce
Client delays from stockouts erode trust, turning a simple shingle replacement into weeks of rescheduling headaches
Manual spreadsheets ignore regional hurricane patterns, causing overorders of metal flashing that corrode in coastal humidity
Supplier minimums force bulk buys of galvanized flashing that sits unused, inflating costs during lean gutter repair-only months
Crew downtime skyrockets when fall-protection harnesses and lanyards run low mid-roof installation, halting progress and overtime budgets

Picture this: AI alerting you to stock up on underlayment before a forecasted rain week, all integrated seamlessly with your scheduling tools. This isn't assembly-line tech; it's a precision tool forged for your yard and crews.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Precision Inventory That Powers Your Roofing Growth
Slash Waste and Reclaim Capital
Our AI cuts overstock by 40%, based on industry benchmarks where roofers average 25% excess inventory in materials like OSB sheathing and nails. That means $25,000 freed up annually for marketing or new rigs, without the headache of rotting plywood in your yard during off-seasons.
Boost On-Time Job Completion
Stockouts drop to near zero, ensuring crews hit 95% of deadlines for shingle replacements and leak repairs. Clients stay happy with faster turnarounds in storm-damaged areas, leading to 30% more referrals in competitive markets like hurricane-prone Florida.
Streamline Supplier Negotiations
Accurate forecasts let you order just right for ice and water shields, securing better bulk deals and reducing rush fees by 50% during peak winter storm seasons. Your cash flow stabilizes, even through unpredictable seasons in the Midwest.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd overload on synthetic underlayment every spring, only to have half sit through the dry summer. Their system nailed our forecasts last year—we saved $12K on waste and never missed a job during that hailstorm in April. It's like having a meteorologist for our stockroom."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Summit Roofing Pros, Denver CO
"I was skeptical about AI for something as hands-on as roofing inventory, but after implementation, our blue poly tarp stockouts went from weekly to nonexistent. Cut our emergency orders by 70% in six months, and the crew loves the reliable supply chain for storm chases. Worth every penny."
Sara Lopez
Owner, Apex Roof Solutions, Houston TX
"Integrated this with our Jobber setup seamlessly. Last winter, it predicted low demand for extension ladders perfectly—we avoided $8,000 in overbuy on fiberglass models. Now we're expanding to two more crews without inventory fears holding back our siding jobs."
Tom Reilly
General Manager, Elite Roofing Services, Atlanta GA

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle unpredictable weather in roofing?
Our custom models pull from hyper-local weather services and historical storm data specific to your area. For instance, if you're in tornado alley, it factors in rapid demand spikes for tarps and plywood. We've seen accuracy rates hit 92% for roofers in variable climates, far surpassing manual guesses. The system updates forecasts daily, alerting you to prep for incoming fronts without overcommitting stock. It's built to learn from your past responses, refining predictions over time for even tighter alignment with your operations.
What data do you need to get started with inventory forecasting?
We start with your existing records: past invoices, job completion logs, supplier orders, and any CRM exports. No need for perfect data—our AI cleans and normalizes it. For a typical roofer, this includes shingle usage per square, seasonal job volumes, and basic weather exposure notes. We'll map everything in the discovery phase, ensuring integration with tools like your scheduling app. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, and we provide templates to simplify uploads. The result? A system that immediately starts forecasting based on your real workflows.
Can this integrate with my current roofing software?
Absolutely. We specialize in two-way API connections to platforms like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or AccuLynx, pulling job details directly into forecasts. For example, if a client books a full re-roof, the AI adjusts shingle needs in real-time. Unlike superficial links that break, our deep integrations ensure data flows securely without manual entry. We've connected to over 50 home services tools, maintaining 99% uptime. If your setup is unique, we custom-build the bridge, giving you a unified view of inventory tied to every bid and install.
How much can I expect to save on inventory costs?
Roofers typically see 30-45% reductions in holding costs within the first year, based on our deployments. That's often $15,000-$30,000 saved by avoiding overbuys of perishables like sealants during slow periods. Industry benchmarks show average waste at 22% for home services; our AI drops that by optimizing orders to match actual demand from client pipelines and weather. One client cut emergency shipping fees by $5,000 in a single storm season. Savings scale with your volume—larger crews benefit most from the freed capital for growth investments.
Is the forecasting system secure for my business data?
Security is non-negotiable. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like SOC 2. Your inventory details—supplier lists, pricing, job histories—stay owned by you, hosted on secure AWS infrastructure. Access is role-based, so only your yard manager sees stock alerts. We've audited against roofing-specific risks, like protecting client-linked data. No third-party sharing, and you can export everything anytime. In five years, zero breaches across our client base, giving you peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in home services.
What if my roofing business grows or changes services?
Our systems are designed to scale and adapt. As you add commercial jobs or expand to siding, we retrain the AI with new data streams—like material types for facades—without starting over. The architecture supports 10x growth in job volume, handling increased variables seamlessly. For example, a client grew from 50 to 150 roofs yearly; we updated forecasts in two weeks, incorporating subcontractor needs. Ongoing support includes quarterly reviews to tweak for shifts, ensuring it remains a perfect fit. You're not locked into yesterday's setup—it's built to evolve with your ambitions.
