Which part of the roofing sales process takes the longest time? For many contractors, the answer is estimating. Especially if you’re climbing on a roof to take measurements, it can be hard to get the accuracy you need, and it can eat up valuable time. In order to speed up the estimating process and improve accuracy, more and more contractors are taking advantage of aerial measurement reports to get the numbers they need.

To help contractors order measurements more easily, AccuLynx roofing software integrates with two of the leading aerial measurement providers, EagleView and GAF QuickMeasure. Here’s how you can use AccuLynx to order an EagleView report—and why it can benefit your business to order aerial measurements through AccuLynx.

Ordering an EagleView Report in AccuLynx

Ordering an EagleView report in AccuLynx is simple:

• Select “EagleView” from the main dashboard, or navigate to the Measurements tab in an individual job file and select “Order Measurement”, then “Order EagleView”.
• Select the EagleView details, such as the type of report and number of buildings.
• Add any notes about the order that you might have.
• Verify that the red map pin is on the correct location.
• Submit your order.

Once your report is generated by EagleView, you’ll be able to view it directly in the AccuLynx platform as well. All reports are saved to their respective job files.
