Roofing enquiries on your phone in seconds, photos included
After a storm the enquiries all come at once, and you're up on a roof. Formcrier sends each one to your phone as it arrives, and any photo the customer attached is a tap away.

You can't answer from the roof
Enquiries come in while you're working at height, and the reply has to wait until you're back on the ground.

Storms bring a rush
After bad weather the leak reports arrive in a burst, with the ones that need a same-day visit mixed in among the rest.

You can't quote from a description
Without a photo you can't tell a slipped slate from a failed valley, so you ring back to ask things a picture would have told you.
How roofers use Formcrier
-
Alerts you can read from the scaffold
Each enquiry comes through as a message with the customer's name, number and what they wrote, ready for you to ring at the next break.
-
Photos from the customer Pro and Agency
Let customers add photos of the damage to your form, and look at them from the alert before you ring back.
-
Leaks to the crew lead Pro and Agency
Have enquiries that mention a leak or water coming in go to your crew lead, and quote requests go to your estimator.
-
Everyone knows what's been picked up
Put the alert in a shared Slack channel as well, and the office can see which enquiries someone's already dealing with.
Where alerts go
Go with WhatsApp if your customers tend to send photos by message afterwards.

Questions from roofers
More in the docs, or see every kind of business.
Yes, on Pro and Agency. The files show up on the submission's page as download links, and you open that page from the alert.
Each submission has limits on how many files it can carry and how big they are. You'll find them in the docs.
It's free for 10 alerts a month, with no card needed.
