Roofing Supply Quoting Software for Distributors

A contractor emails a list of materials for a re-roof. GAF shingles. Rolls of underlayment. Squares of modified bitumen. Boxes of fasteners. Coils of drip edge. Pipe boots. Ridge vent. It arrives as a PDF, an Excel file, or a CSV of what they need for the job.

Quotery reads the client's list of materials and maps every line to your catalog. It matches each item to the right product, checks specs, units, and compliance attributes, and drafts the quote in under a minute. Your team reviews the matches, adjusts, and sends. Every match links back to the original request so you can spot check anything.

Stop manually retyping client material lists. Stop the copy-paste errors. Stop the spreadsheet ping-pong before a quote ever ships.

A roof is a system. The wrong underlayment under a standing seam metal roof causes galvanic corrosion that eats through the panel in three years. Mismatched fasteners void wind warranties from every major manufacturer. Ice and water shield rated for a 4:12 slope gets spec'd on a 2:12 low slope roof. Most distributors rely on the salesperson to catch this from memory. The salesperson who has been on the phone since 6 AM and just quoted twelve jobs.

Quotery checks compatibility at quote time. Pair a CertainTeed Presidential Shake with fasteners not rated for that profile? Flagged. Specify GAF StormGuard on a slope below its minimum rating? Flagged. Every rule links directly to the manufacturer's published installation instructions. The system does not guess. It checks against what the manufacturer actually requires.

Fewer callbacks. Fewer warranty claims. Fewer contractors calling at 7 AM because the inspector failed the roof.

A hailstorm hits at 2 PM on a Thursday. By Friday morning every distributor within 100 miles is out of the three most common shingle colors. Manufacturers quote four to six week lead times. Contractors are calling every fifteen minutes. Your yard manager is walking the racks trying to figure out what's actually there versus what the system says is there.

Quotery tracks historical quote-to-order patterns by product, color, and region. It flags what needs reordering based on how fast things are actually moving, not just current stock levels. Committed quantities on open quotes. In transit orders from manufacturers. Current on hand across all branches. When the next storm hits, you see exactly what you have, what's committed, and what needs expediting.

Know before the phone starts ringing. Ship before your competitors even figure out they're short.

Tear-off starts at 7 AM. Six guys on the roof. $45 an hour each. If materials are not on site by then, that's $270 an hour of labor burning while they wait. The contractor calls your dispatcher. Your dispatcher calls the yard. The yard says the truck left. The driver is not answering. Nobody knows whether the ridge vent made it onto the load.

Quotery generates pick lists by delivery date, tracks what shipped versus what is pending, and surfaces delivery status on any device. Delivery notes generate from quote line items. Quantities, job site addresses, special instructions. All pre filled. When a contractor calls to ask whether the cap shingles and the ridge vent are on the truck, the answer is on your screen.

One screen. Not four phone calls. Not a walkie-talkie. Not a prayer.

Roofing contractors do not get paid in one lump sum at the end of a job. Deposit up front. Materials delivered. Tear-off complete. Dry-in passed. Installation complete. Final inspection signed off. Each milestone releases the next draw. But most supply house billing systems only do one invoice per order. So someone in accounting is running a shadow process in Excel, or the contractor is calling every week to reconcile what they owe.

Quotery supports progress billing tied to project milestones. Accept payment via card, ACH, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. D+2 settlement is standard. Instant payout available for a small fee. Each milestone releases the next draw automatically. Contractors see exactly what they owe and why.

Your contractors get materials faster. You get paid without chasing checks on Friday afternoon.

Roofing is one of the most code-regulated trades in construction. Wind ratings. Fire ratings. Impact resistance. Slope requirements. Ice barrier requirements. Nail patterns. All of it varies by jurisdiction. Some counties within the same state have different requirements than the county next door. Florida has Miami-Dade NOA numbers. Texas has TDI windstorm requirements. The Northeast has ice dam provisions that do not exist in the South.

Quotery supports compliance tagging at the product level. Mark shingles with ASTM wind ratings, UL fire classifications, Miami-Dade NOA numbers. When a quote includes products that may not meet local code for the project's jurisdiction, the system flags them for review. Warranty documentation attaches to the quote with one click. Manufacturer wind warranties. System warranties. Workmanship guarantees.

Inspectors check the roof. Contractors check the documentation. Make sure the documentation is right before the first bundle leaves your yard.
