Supplements are not luck
The claim sits on the job with its paperwork, its adjuster and its documents, so catching a supplement does not depend on who happened to be running it that week.
Who we build for
Every trade gets its own system, built once properly and then fitted to the company in front of us. We are not going to pretend that is finished for a trade we have not built yet.
There is a version of this page that lists eight trades with a logo next to each one and lets you assume all eight exist. It would probably work better in the short term.
The problem is what happens on the call afterwards, when an HVAC company finds out they are a year early and we have spent their first impression. So: one trade is built. Here is that one, here is how a second gets added, and here is what it would take to be the first company in it.
01 / Built
Pontura Roofing OS is the system a residential roofing company runs its week in. Not a generic job tracker with the word roofing on it — the parts of the work that are specific to roofing are the parts it takes seriously.
The claim sits on the job with its paperwork, its adjuster and its documents, so catching a supplement does not depend on who happened to be running it that week.
Measured in the units your crews actually use, on jobs typed the way you type them — tear-off and re-roof, repair, inspection, insurance work.
Shot on the roof and attached to the job, so they are there when the adjuster asks rather than on somebody's camera roll.
02 / How a trade gets added
Each trade gets a base system built once and built properly — the stages, the paperwork and the vocabulary that nearly every company in that trade needs. That base is most of the work, and it is the reason you are not paying for a system to be invented from nothing.
Then it gets fitted to your company: your stages, your words, your documents, your way of running a week. That part is yours and only yours.
If it helps every company, it goes into the base and everybody on that system gets it. If it helps yours, it goes in your layer and never touches anybody else's. That rule is why the system you buy in year one keeps getting better without ever drifting away from how you run.
03 / The shelf
Residential roofing, including insurance work. The one you can look at today.
Closest of the three — service calls, maintenance agreements and seasonal load are a genuinely different shape from a roofing job.
Service and emergency work sit differently against a job pipeline than scheduled replacements do.
Longer jobs, more subcontractors, draws and retention. The furthest from roofing of the three.
There is no date against any of those and we are not going to invent one. What moves a trade up the list is a company in it that wants to be the first.
04 / If your trade is not on the list
The first company in a trade gets more influence over the system than anyone who comes after them, and pays less for it, because they are teaching us the trade while we build. That is a genuinely good deal for the right company.
It is also being first, which means a longer build, more of your time in the early weeks, and a system that gets some things wrong before it gets them right. If you need software that works properly next month, being first in a trade is not the thing to buy.
If you are in roofing, the evaluation is the faster first step and it costs nothing. If you are in another trade, the call is the only real door — and it may end with us saying not yet.
