Roofers see call surges after storms, when many homeowners call at once about leaks and damage. Capturing every call during those peaks determines how much work the company books.

• An insurance adjuster calls to meet at a property.
• A property manager calls about a commercial roof inspection.
• The roofer calls a customer to schedule the crew.
