AppliCad and HOVER collaboration – A Winning Solution for Automatic Roof Estimation
Imagine you could take eight photos of your house on your smartphone, upload them to a website to obtain a data file within hours. Then you upload that data file to another website and get a full, accurate take-off of all materials within 5 minutes.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, thanks to the new AppliCad and HOVER collaboration, this is now possible.
About HOVER
“HOVER transforms smartphone photos into beautifully rendered and fully measured 3D models of any home.” (www.hover.to) Essentially, the HOVER platform helps re-roofing contractors to have design conversations with their residential clients to support the sales function, and to obtain full measurements without having to climb the roof.
The new way of roofing sales – Fast, accurate, low risk!
With AppliCad’s Roofestimating.com automatic roof take-off service in the AppliCad and HOVER collaboration, you can take this ease of sale further. Within minutes, you can now also extract a full take-off including panel section reports and cutting lists! All you need is HOVER’s .xml data file of your project and upload it to www.roofestimating.com.

Empower your salesforce to do more
With AppliCad Roofestimating.com and HOVER your salesperson can

Positive impact on your bottom line
Your salesperson can now provide you with the information you need to get the entire job done, on the same day the deal was closed. You won’t need a second trip to the job site and won’t need to spend time on the roof to take measurements, nor will you need the time and efforts of an estimator. Your lead times between winning the job and ordering materials will decrease, and you will be able to start the job faster.
As you have eliminated any ‘estimation’ out of your quoting process, you will have a very accurate grasp on your margins, per job. No more over-ordering materials and taking the rest back to the supplier. No more under-ordering by accident to then have to wait for more materials, either.
