Software for roofing, façade and insulation companies

Roofers, dormers, window frames and façade elements, glazing, solar shading and insulation. Your crews are somewhere different every day. A lot of material goes on each job sheet. Lead times drive your schedule, and at handover a photo is the proof. Platrom puts that on one board and lets the job sheet carry the proof.

Where it goes wrong today

Four things we hear back in nearly every conversation. If none of them sound familiar, you probably do not need this system.

At six in the morning a crew is standing there with no address
The schedule was in the site manager’s head and in a chat group. Somebody is off sick and a delivery has moved. The crew waits at the yard while the access platform is already on site.
The materials on the job sheet are wrong
What went on the van in the morning is never the same as what comes back in the evening. What was used gets noted from memory. On a 480 m² roof area you see that difference again in the margin.
At handover it is your word against the client’s
A puddle on the roof. A damaged window frame. A seam that is supposedly not right. Without photos from before and after the work, that becomes an argument you usually do not win.
The lead time drives the schedule but is not in it
Window frames arriving two weeks later move three crews. Keep that only in your email and you discover the clash on the morning itself.

What Platrom does about it

With the module named, because a solution without a name is a promise. Everything below is in the system and can be seen in a demo.

One board showing who is where
Work orders sit on a planning board by week and are assigned to crews. The question that has come to decide this trade is right there with it: which week is full and can we still take this on. Whatever moves, everybody sees on their phone.
Materials per job sheet, out of the same catalogue
The engineer picks them off a materials list or adds them by hand. That is the same catalogue the estimate draws on. So budget and actual are comparable without anybody putting them side by side.
Photos are attached to the job sheet
What was found and what was left behind, with date and time and the sheet they belong to. In an argument about handover that is the only thing that counts. And nobody has work to do in the evening.
Variations agreed on the roof and signed on the roof
A rotten board that turns up underneath. An extra opening. The site manager puts it on and gets it signed. On the invoice that line points back to the job sheet, with the photo alongside.

A 480 m² roof refurbishment

From enquiry to handover, with the photos that prevent the argument.

  1. Tue 11:40

    The quote goes out with a provisional sum for the rainwater goods. The client signs online. The work is waiting as a job with the budget underneath it.

  2. Wed 06:55

    On the planning board two crews are set for Thursday and Friday. The lead time on the roof covering is shown with it. So the clash with the next job is visible on Wednesday already.

  3. Thu 07:30

    The crew sees the address, the site, the history and how to get onto the roof. The first photos of the existing situation go straight onto the job sheet.

  4. Thu 14:15

    Under the old layer there are two rotten boards. The variation goes on and the clerk of works signs on the spot. With a photo attached. No argument in week three.

  5. Fri 16:41

    Handover. Photos of the finished area, signature from the client, sheet closed. The invoice can go out that same evening.

Questions from this trade

Can we schedule per crew rather than per person?

Yes. A work order goes to the people working on it, and on the board you see the load per week. The empty row at the bottom is the most important part of it. That is the capacity you can still sell.

How many photos can go on a job sheet?

As many as the work calls for. They belong to the sheet and therefore to the site. You find them again later through the address and not only through the date. That is what makes them usable in an argument a year later.

We also run maintenance contracts on roofs. Does that fit?

Yes. That is the same module installation companies run their service visits on. You set a maintenance interval per site. If a visit falls behind, it is flagged. Statutory inspections sit separately.

Questions about price, notice period, integrations and where your data is held are on the pricing page and on Data and security.

Do you work in another trade?

Any technical company with people out in the field and an invoice it has to be able to explain fits here. These are the other four.

Installation companies
Heating, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cooling and heat pumps.
Contractors and builders
New build, conversion, refurbishment and maintenance contracting.
Fit-out and finishing
Plasterers, floor layers, carpentry and interior fit-out, painters and property maintenance.
Service and maintenance
Maintenance contracts, call-out service, fire safety and inspections, doors and access, drainage and pipework.
