Why FlowChainLabs
Built specifically for roofing businesses
Generic AI is fine for "what are your hours." You need an AI that knows the difference between a hygiene recall, an emergency, and an insurance question.
When a hailstorm hits, Aria handles 100+ simultaneous calls without dropping a single lead.
Storm-damage leads are pre-qualified by storm date, damage type, and insurance carrier before an inspection is scheduled.
Estimate follow-up runs on a 30-day cadence with text and call sequences tuned to storm-damage buyers.
Emergency tarp jobs route to your on-call crew with GPS-tagged job details.
After the last hailstorm we got 200+ calls in 3 days. Before FlowChainLabs, we would have missed 80% of them. This time, every single one was answered and we booked 47 inspections.
