This is not a brochure. It is the whole product, feature by feature, with the actual buttons and the actual steps.
Read it front to back once and you will know the software better than most people who have owned it for a year. Or jump to the part you need and follow the steps.
A storm rolls through at two in the afternoon. Before it clears the county we can already show you the exact streets it hit, down to the block, because we read the same radar the government does. Not a rough circle around a town. The actual footprint.
Then we hand you the people who live there. Owner name, address, what the house is worth, how old the roof is. Phone numbers and emails where we can get them. You can write every one of them a personal email, mail every one of them a postcard, and set your first appointment before you have left the driveway.
Then you go knock. Your whole book is on your phone as dots. Tap a house and you know the owner's name and the size of the hail that hit that specific roof before you ring the bell.
And when the carrier's estimate comes back light, Claim Sniper™ reads it. Line by line, against the building code in your state, and it shows you what they left out and what it is worth. Then it prints the letter that asks for it, with the code cited under every item.
That is the whole arc. Find the storm. Find the homeowner. Get to the door. Get paid what the job is actually worth. One login, one bill, no bolt-ons.
Six different ways to look at hail, because "where did it hit" has a different answer depending on whether you mean right now, this afternoon, last month, or three years ago.
The government runs a radar grid over the whole country and estimates the biggest hail that reached the ground in every square. We pull that grid and paint it on your map.
Storm reports tell you where somebody happened to be standing when it hailed. The footprint tells you the whole area, including the streets nobody called in.
Reports lie by omission. A storm crosses forty neighborhoods and gets three phone calls, all from the same street with the guy who likes weather. You end up working that one street and driving past thirty nine others.
The radar does not care who called. It saw all of it.
On today's date it keeps refreshing every two minutes while the storm is still moving. You can watch the footprint grow.
You stop paying for the streets that did not get hit.
Every record you pull on a dry street is money spent on a door that will never turn into a job. Every hour you drive one is an hour gone. The footprint is how you spend both on the streets that actually took hail.
Every hail day we have recorded, kept and searchable. Pick a date and the map fills with what the radar saw that day.
Then you get a player. Rewind, play, forward, and a slider you can drag to any minute of that day.
A storm from three weeks ago is still a roof that needs replacing. The homeowner did not forget. The news did.
Most contractors work whatever hit yesterday and then sit idle. There is no reason for that. The work is sitting in the archive.
Stop the clock. Every hail zone that touched down that day, all at once, in one picture. This is the view for deciding whether a day is worth working at all.
The same day colored by how big the hail was. The two inch streets separate from the three quarter inch streets at a glance.
Each storm that ran through that day gets drawn as its own ribbon following the path it actually took. One storm, one track, instead of a pile of overlapping shapes. Click a ribbon and a card opens: the biggest hail that storm dropped, how many radar scans tracked it, and how many miles it travelled. Then a button that says Count the roofs. Picking a storm is free. Only that button spends anything.
The color legend, so the map means the same thing to you as it does to us.
The storm you missed is still worth money.
Sign up in September and work July. Your competition is fighting over whatever hit this week, and there are only so many of those. You can work a storm nobody else remembered while they are all parked on the same three streets.
And following one storm's real path beats drawing a circle around a town. Same hour of driving, more doors that actually took hail.
The full national radar archive, the raw kind the government keeps, going back to 1991. When you need a date that is older than our own ninety day window, this is where you go.
Two reasons. Old storms are still leads. And sometimes a homeowner or an adjuster asks what hit this house in 2019, and you want to be the contractor who can answer that instead of the one who shrugs.
Want the fast version instead? 📅 Last 7 Days opens the archive already loaded with the past week of hail for the entire country. One click, then scrub from wherever you are looking.
Nobody else in the truck can answer a question about 2019.
Being the person who pulls up the actual radar from four years ago, at the door, on your phone, is worth more than any brochure you could have handed them.
● Storms now puts every active storm cell on your map, colored by the size of the hail it is confirmed to be dropping. Grey means no hail reported yet. The pale cone off the front of a cell is where it is heading.
🧨 Hail Warning is the sharper version. It combines lightning detection, radar strength and storm modeling to show where hail an inch or bigger is falling right now inside the part of the map you are looking at.
The contractor who gets there first wins the job. Everything after that is fighting over leftovers.
If you know a cell is going to be over a subdivision in twenty minutes, you can be parked on the edge of it when the hail stops.
Auto refresh shuts itself off after two hours and warns you a minute before it does, so it never runs all night without you knowing.
First truck on the street signs the most contracts. That has always been true and it is the whole reason this exists.
Four different looks forward, from three days out down to the next sixty minutes.
Knowing where hail hit is reactive. Knowing where it is going to hit is how you decide whether to book crews, whether to stay in town, and whether tomorrow is a paperwork day or a windshield day.
Under More layers you also get live radar, wind speed with mile per hour labels, and temperature. Each one has its own opacity slider so you can stack them without turning the map to mud.
You stop guessing about next week.
Crews cost money whether they work or not. Knowing three days out whether your market is about to get hit is the difference between a schedule and a hope.
Right click any point on the map and you get the live hail threats, the storm cells and the current conditions for that exact location. Works everywhere on the map, every mode, all the time.
Because sometimes you do not want a layer or a zone. You want to know about one intersection, right now, and you want it in one click.
Answers on the phone while the homeowner is still talking.
Knowing where hail hit is half of it. You still have to know whose door you are knocking on. Nothing here spends a record until you say so, out loud, in a window that shows you the number first.
You draw a shape on the map. We give you every property inside it. Owner name, mailing address, what the house is worth, and how old the roof is.
Everybody else makes you leave the map and go buy a list somewhere. That is a second login, a second bill, and an hour you do not have on the day a storm hits.
In a hurry? 📍 Auto zone draws the pull zones around the confirmed hail reports for you. Zoom into your target area first, then click it.
You never spend blind.
The count comes first, every single time. If a zone comes back at nine hundred homes and you wanted two hundred, you shrink the shape and look again. You decide what the list costs before you buy it, not after.
Two ways to put a single house in your book without pulling a whole zone.
＋ Add a home lets you click a rooftop and add that one house. 📍 Pin free puts the house on your map with no owner information and no cost.
You knock four houses on a block. Two are not home. One says no. You do not need the owner name on any of them. You just need them on your map so you know you already hit them.
Paying for a record on a house that already told you no is money you will never see again.
Your records go to the houses that can turn into jobs. Not to the ones that already told you no.
Over a season that is the difference between running out of records in week three and having them when you need them.
Contact information appended to your records. Phone numbers and verified email addresses where they exist.
A name and an address means you have to drive there. A phone number means you can book the appointment from your kitchen table at seven in the morning.
Not every house has a listed number or a verified email. That is the nature of the data, not a setting you can turn up.
Calls and emails happen before the driving does.
Every appointment you book from the office is an appointment you did not have to earn standing on a porch.
Every property you pull is saved to your account permanently. The next time you pull a zone that overlaps it, the houses you already own come back at no cost. You only pay for the new ones.
Charging you twice for the same house would be a great business for us and a terrible one for you. It also punishes the thing we want you doing, which is working an area over and over.
The longer you use it, the cheaper it gets.
A territory you have worked for a year is nearly free to re-pull after the next storm, while the guy who just showed up pays full freight for the same street.
Email, postcards and campaigns, all from the same screen you pulled the list on. No exporting, no print shop, no waiting a week.
Click the email button next to any property and the AI writes a complete outreach email using the owner's name, their exact address, the storm that hit their street, the hail size and the date.
It reads like you wrote it, because it knows things a form letter cannot know.
Writing fifty personal emails used to eat half your day. Sending fifty identical ones gets you deleted.
Half a day back, every storm.
That time goes to the doors, or it goes home with you. Either one beats sitting at a keyboard until nine at night.
Bulk email built on your own saved templates. Every field the AI knows about is available as a merge tag, so a bulk send still lands personal.
Some days you want to write one careful email. Some days a storm hit four hundred houses and you need all four hundred contacted before the sun goes down.
Prefer to check each one? The carousel walks you through the list one email at a time so you can edit any of them, then send them all at the end.
Four hundred homeowners contacted while your competition is still deciding which neighborhood to drive to.
Select homes, click send, and real postcards get printed and mailed First Class for you. Delivery runs three to five business days.
Your logo, your license number, your return address, all pulled from your account settings.
Half the homeowners in any storm zone will never open an email from a stranger. They will pick up the mail.
And the normal way of doing this, calling a print shop and waiting a week, means the cards land after everybody has already signed with somebody else.
Done before lunch instead of live in a week.
In this business a week is the whole window. Cards that land on day four are marketing. Cards that land on day eleven are a receipt for money you wasted.
A chat panel that sits beside your map. The difference between this and every other AI you have used is that it is wired directly into live weather data and into your own property database. When you ask it something, it goes and pulls the real answer.
Ask it in plain English. "Where did it hail in Arkansas in September over an inch and a half, and give me the zip codes." It will go get it.
Because the honest truth is that a map with thirty buttons on it takes a while to learn, and sometimes you just want to ask a question the way you would ask a person.
Things it can actually go and look up: current conditions anywhere, today's forecast, the week ahead, confirmed hail and wind and tornado reports near a place, the radar hail estimate on one specific roof for one specific day, every hail day on one roof going back two years, live storm cells nationwide, the severe outlook for the next three days, every zip code around a town for your mailing list, deep hail history up to eighteen months back for a town or an entire state, and a search of your own pulled properties by city, county, hail size, storm date, or distance from a point.
Questions that used to take an afternoon of clicking take one sentence.
And the zip code answer goes straight into a postcard campaign, so a question turns into mail without a spreadsheet in the middle.
You cannot watch a map all day. You have crews to run. So we built something that watches it for you and picks up the phone.
A shape on the map that says "this is my market." You can have more than one, and you name them.
Alerts are worthless if they fire on hail four states away. The territory is how the system knows which storms are yours.
You stop finding out about storms from a customer who already called somebody else.
When hail crosses a territory you drew, you get told. Three channels, and you turn on whichever ones you want.
Text. Email with the size, the time and a link to the map. Or a short AI voice call that reads you the facts and offers to text you the map.
The storm does not check whether you were looking at your screen.
You will never get more than six in a day, and never more than one per territory per storm hour. A hail alert system that buzzes forty times gets turned off by everyone who owns it, so we capped it.
Being first stops being a thing you have to sit at a desk for.
The voice call is not just a notification. Sport tells you what hit, where, and how big. Then Sport asks what you want to do about it.
You answer out loud. Postcards to the zone, emails to the ones with addresses, however many. Sport works out the cost, tells you the number, charges the card on file when you say go, and the campaign is running before you have put the phone down.
Every call is transcribed and saved to your account, so there is a record of exactly what you agreed to.
The gap between finding out about a storm and doing something about it is where the money leaks. You hear about hail at seven in the morning, you get to the office at nine, you pull the list at ten, and by then three other trucks have been on the street for two hours.
This closes the gap to the length of one phone call.
You get an email with the list at the same time, so you can see exactly who was contacted.
Marketing that goes out at six in the morning instead of at ten.
Four hours, on the one day of the year when four hours actually decides who signs the street.
Every house you have pulled, on a map, as a colored dot. Tap one and you get the owner's name, the hail that hit that specific roof, the roof age and the value, before you ring the bell.
Set the status right there at the door and the office sees it the same second. No syncing. No paperwork at nine at night.
The truck is the office. Everything that makes you type an address into a laptop later is a tax on your evening.
It is built for a phone. On an iPad it works fine and simply renders larger. Buttons are sized for a thumb, and it knows about the notch and the home bar on an iPhone so nothing important hides underneath them.
You stop typing up addresses at nine at night, because the work was already done at the door.
And nobody knocks the same house twice, which is the quiet way most crews lose an hour a day.
Every house carries a status and a color. Blue is new. Grey is knocked. Amber is an appointment. Green is signed. The map in the office shows the same colors, updating as your crew taps.
Because the alternative is a clipboard, a group text, and an argument on Friday about who covered what.
Nothing falls through.
Most lost jobs in this business are not lost to a competitor. They are lost to a follow up nobody made.
A clean report showing the storm history for that exact address. Hand them your phone and let them scroll it, or show a QR code and let them pull it up on their own phone and read it after you leave.
There is also a private version built for the adjuster conversation.
Every roofer at that door is saying the same sentence about hail damage. You are the only one who can prove it on the spot with the radar record for their address.
You stop being one of five guys with a business card.
The homeowner keeps a document with their own address on it. That is what they show their spouse that night when they decide who to call back.
Type an address, any address, and find out whether qualifying hail hit it. You do not have to own the record. You do not have to have pulled the zone.
A referral calls you. A neighbor flags you down. Somebody hands you an address at a barbecue. You should be able to answer without spending anything.
You qualify the lead before you drive to it.
An hour of round trip driving to a house that never got hit is the most expensive hour in your week, because you cannot get it back and you did not even get a no out of it.
Getting the job is one thing. Getting paid what the job is actually worth is another, and it is where most contractors leave the most money on the table.
Upload the insurance company's estimate and we read it. Every line. Then we compare it against the building code that actually applies in that state and show you what is missing and what is underpaid.
Under every single item it prints the reason in plain English and the code section it comes from.
Because reading an Xactimate estimate line by line against a building code book is a two hour job that almost nobody does, and the carriers know it.
And because "they should have paid for that" is an opinion. "Section R905 requires it" is not.
Use the PDF the adjuster emailed you. A scan or a photo of a printout cannot be read yet.
This is the one that pays for the software.
The job is already yours. The homeowner already signed. Every item the carrier left off their estimate is money that was always supposed to be in that claim, and the only reason it is not is that nobody read the paperwork closely enough to ask.
Some items need a measurement and some need your price. You give it those two things and it does the math.
Your prices are saved. Every claim after this one uses them automatically.
Your price is your price. You should not have to type it again on every claim for the rest of your life.
Changing a price affects new claims only. A claim you already priced keeps the figures you gave it, so a letter you already handed an adjuster never changes underneath you.
Claim number two takes a fraction of the time claim number one did, and every one after that gets faster.
The meeting sheet is yours. It is the page you hold in the adjuster meeting, laid out so you can find any item fast.
The supplement packet is the one that goes to the carrier. It acknowledges what they paid, asks for what they missed, and cites the code under every item. It also carries the storm verification for that address.
These two audiences need different documents. Handing an adjuster your internal working notes is how you lose credibility. Handing yourself the formal letter in a meeting is how you lose your place.
You walk in looking like the most prepared contractor that adjuster has dealt with all month.
That is not vanity. Adjusters approve supplements faster when the paperwork does not make them go looking for the reason.
A list of every estimate you have ever read. Open any of them again without uploading the PDF a second time.
A supplement is not a one day event. It goes back and forth. You need to be able to open the claim from three weeks ago and see exactly what you asked for.
Nothing sits half finished because you could not find it again.
Paste your contract or drop the PDF, pick your state, and we read it. Then we show you what to fix. If a paragraph is required by statute and yours is missing it, we print the paragraph. If a clause is one the courts have already struck down, we tell you to delete it and name the case.
Contractors lose whole jobs on contract language. Not on the roof. On a sentence somebody copied off the internet in 2011 that a court threw out in 2017.
And most of it is not complicated. It is specific wording in a specific size of type that your state requires. You just have to know.
Nothing leaves your browser until you click Check.
One unenforceable contract can cost you a whole job you already built.
You did the work, you bought the materials, and a clause you never read turns the whole thing into a loss. This takes ten minutes and closes that door.
Your whole book in one place. Every property, every status, every note, every appointment. Search it, sort it, filter it, edit it.
The pipeline across the top shows how many are at each stage, and what is due.
Most contractors are running their business out of a phone's contact list and a truck full of paper. Everything in here is stuff you were already tracking. It is just tracked in one place now, and the office can see it.
You can answer "where does that job stand" without calling three people.
Every action you can take on a property is available from the list, so you never have to go find the same house on the map first.
Because the alternative is bouncing between four screens to do one afternoon's work.
Less driving, in the literal sense.
A route built in the right order instead of the order you happened to write the addresses down is real gas and real hours, every day, forever.
Your name, company, phone, office address, website, license number and logo. This is not paperwork. Every one of these fields ends up on something a homeowner reads.
Your office address is the return address on your postcards and the starting point for every driving route. Your license number appears on the mail and the emails. Your logo goes on the postcard.
Leave them blank and everything downstream looks half finished.
Mail with your logo and your license number on it gets a different reaction than mail without.
A running count of the records you have used this month, a button to buy more when you need them, seat management for teams, and a link straight to your billing.
So you always know where you stand, and so you never have to call somebody to add a seat in the middle of a storm.
There is also a help center with the written guides, and the AI panel can answer most questions about the software itself.
No surprises on the bill, and no phone call to add a seat on the day you actually need it.
No contracts. No setup fees. Your license key arrives by email the moment you subscribe. Cancel anytime.
Loads sample storm events and sample properties so you can practice or demo without touching real data or spending a record. Nothing it shows you is a real event.
Jumps the map to a fixed test area used for measurement vendor testing. Not useful outside that.
Both exist for training and for our own testing. They do not cost anything and they do not break anything, but nothing they produce is real.
