Buyer questions
The questions this page should answer.
How can roofing companies control low-margin proposals?
Low-margin proposals should require sales manager approval, notes, and a locked pre-send state before the packet is exported.
Why does price-book freshness matter for roofing estimates?
Material costs can drift quickly, so estimators need stale vendor-cost flags before proposals are sent to customers.
