The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Field crews submit crumpled, weather-stained invoices from roofing job sites, forcing office staff to decipher illegible handwriting and manually match to shingle and underlayment orders, often delaying payroll by days
After hailstorm season, you're buried under supplier bills for emergency tarps, ladders, and plywood sheathing, spending days cross-referencing against incomplete job logs from wind-damaged roofs
Payment approvals for emergency roof repairs get lost in email chains between foremen and owners, delaying reimbursements for tar paper and flashing materials and straining cash flow during peak repair seasons
Reconciling insurance claims for storm-damaged roofs with material invoices for asphalt shingles and ridge vents eats into time better spent bidding on new commercial flat-roofing projects
Manual data entry from vendor portals for suppliers like GAF or Owens Corning leads to errors in tracking labor costs for residential asphalt shingle re-roofs, inflating overhead by 10-15%
End-of-month closings drag on for hours as you hunt for missing receipts from emergency leak fixes involving sealant and membrane patches, missing out on timely follow-ups for gutter cleaning contracts

Unlock Time and Cost Wins Tailored to Your Roofing Ops
Reclaim 15+ Hours Weekly for Field Growth

Our automation handles OCR data capture from on-site photos and auto-matches to shingle inventory, saving roofers an average of 18 hours per week—time redirected to client site visits, boosting productivity by 35% and landing 20% more residential re-roofing jobs annually within the first year.
Achieve 40% Faster Payments and ROI

Our system accelerates mobile approvals and QuickBooks integrations for roofing suppliers, cutting cycle times from 10 days to 3. Clients report a 4x ROI within six months through reduced errors in hail damage claims and quicker reimbursements, freeing capital for expanding your fleet of boom lifts and tarping trucks.

Eliminate Errors in High-Volume Seasons: Typos in entering costs for metal roofing panels or synthetic underlayment can cost thousands in overpayments. With AI validation against your GAF inventory logs and real-time supplier pricing, accuracy reaches 99%, slashing overpayments by 25% during busy post-storm re-roofing rushes. This precision sharpens your bids for commercial membrane installations, enhances vendor trust with brands like CertainTeed, and keeps your 20-25% margins intact year-round.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was glued to desks sorting faded invoices after every hailstorm job for asphalt shingles and plywood—it was total chaos during peak season. Now, the system pulls data from quick photos we snap on-site with our phones, auto-matches to job logs, and routes payments without a hitch. We saved 12 hours a week last quarter, closed our books in half the time, and even upsold leak repairs to 15% more clients."
Mike Harlan
Operations Manager, Apex Roofing Solutions, serving Denver metro area with 25-year expertise in storm damage restoration
"I was skeptical about custom AI for our small crew of five, but this setup integrated seamlessly with our QuickBooks and flagged a duplicate shingle bill from Malarkey Roofing that saved us $2,500 on a single residential re-roof. No more late nights matching crumpled receipts to hail damage reports from drone inspections—it's like having an extra admin without the $45K annual payroll hit, and we've cut our error rate by 60% in three months."
Sarah Kline
Owner, Summit Roof Pros, a family-owned firm specializing in eco-friendly shingle installations in the Pacific Northwest
"During peak summer season, invoices piled up from urgent supplier runs for aluminum gutters and ridge vents after wind events. Their automation sorted it all automatically, routing approvals straight to my phone app for on-site sign-off. We cut processing errors by 70%, got paid 5 days faster on insurance claims for membrane repairs, and extended our bidding window to secure three new commercial flat-roof contracts worth $150K last fall."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the messy invoices from roofing suppliers?
Our custom AI is trained on real home services data, using advanced OCR to parse even smudged or handwritten details like product codes for ridge caps or membrane rolls. It cross-references against your job logs automatically, flagging anomalies for review. For a typical roofer, this means processing 50 invoices a week in under an hour, compared to 10 hours manually. We tailor the extraction rules to your specific suppliers, ensuring 98% accuracy and integrating directly into your accounting setup for error-free posting. This setup has helped contractors like you reduce disputes with vendors by 60%, keeping relationships solid during busy seasons.
Will this work with our existing tools like QuickBooks and scheduling software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that create a seamless flow—no more copy-pasting between apps. For roofers, we'll connect invoice data from field uploads to your QuickBooks for instant ledger updates and sync with tools like Jobber for matching bills to scheduled installs. Our engineers build custom APIs, tested for reliability, so a bill for flashing arrives and posts without manual intervention. Clients see setup in 4-6 weeks, with immediate ROI through 40% faster month-end closes. Unlike generic connectors, ours handle roofing nuances like variable labor add-ons, preventing costly mismatches.
What kind of time savings can a small roofing crew expect?
For a crew of 5-10 handling 20-30 jobs monthly, our system typically saves 15-20 hours weekly on invoice tasks alone. That's time your office avoids spending on deciphering supplier PDFs after a long day of shingle installs, redirecting efforts to client bids or crew training. Based on benchmarks from similar home services firms, this translates to a 35% productivity boost and ROI within 3-4 months via reduced errors and quicker payments. We customize to your workflow—say, automating approvals for rush orders during leaks—so savings scale with your volume, without adding headcount.
Is the system secure for sensitive roofing project data?
Security is non-negotiable in home services, where invoices often tie to client homes and insurance details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, ensuring all data—like costs for custom skylight repairs—stays within your controlled environment. No third-party clouds unless you specify, and we comply with standards like SOC 2. Features include role-based access, so foremen approve via secure mobile without seeing full financials. In our deployments, we've prevented breaches that plague generic tools, giving roofers peace of mind while processing high-value claims. Regular audits and updates keep it robust against evolving threats.
How much does custom invoice automation cost for roofers?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling based on your crew size and integrations—like linking to CRM for client roof history. This includes discovery, development, and three months of support, far below the $20K+ annual drain from manual errors and subscriptions. Roofers often recoup costs in 4 months through 40% processing savings and faster cash from vendors. We provide a detailed ROI projection during consultation, factoring your specifics like seasonal billing spikes. Unlike ongoing SaaS fees, you own the system outright, avoiding the 'subscription chaos' that hits SMBs hard.
Can we try it before full commitment?
Yes, our process begins with a free 90-minute consultation where we audit your current invoice flow—reviewing sample bills from recent re-roofs—and demo a prototype based on your data. This shows exact time savings, like automating entry for 10 supplier invoices in real-time. No obligation, but 85% of roofers proceed because they see the fit immediately. We then move to a phased pilot over 2 weeks, testing on live but low-volume jobs, with adjustments before full rollout. This low-risk approach ensures the solution matches your ops without upfront costs.
