Roofing contractors face a business model with wild volume swings: storm season can drop forty jobs in your lap over a weekend, each needing an inspection, a materials order, a crew assignment, and a client communication, all at once. Outside of storm work, full replacements run multi-day with multiple crew members, and insurance supplement tracking adds paperwork that can drag on for weeks. Without a system built for that pace, jobs get missed and invoices go out late.
IRONGRID is roofing contractor software designed for high-volume field operations. It works as your roofing CRM for client and property records, your roofing field management software for crew dispatch and job tracking, and your invoicing tool for getting paid quickly after each job closes. The app for roofers runs on any phone, requires no training period, and handles everything from a single repair to a full neighborhood restoration project.

How roofing companies use IRONGRID
After a hail storm rolls through, calls start coming in before your first crew has even loaded their truck. Your dispatcher opens IRONGRID and creates work orders as fast as the calls come in, each one marked Urgent with the client's address and a note on the reported damage. Crews get their assignments pushed to their phones and head to their first property without waiting for a briefing. By 9 a.m. your whole team is deployed and you can see every job's status on one screen.
On site, the crew leader attaches inspection photos before touching the roof, logs the shingles, underlayment, and flashing used during the job, and takes final photos when the surface is finished. Those materials feed into the job cost automatically. When the crew wraps up, the office sends the invoice the same day the job closes. The client gets a payment link in their inbox with a clear breakdown of materials and labor.
For roofing companies that run annual inspection programs or maintenance contracts on commercial properties, IRONGRID schedules those accounts automatically. Set the frequency, and the inspection visits appear on the calendar for each property without anyone recreating the work order by hand. Multi-phase replacement projects work the same way: each phase (tear-off, underlayment, installation, inspection) is a separate subtask tracked to completion on one work order.
