Accurately anticipate your material needs and costs
Siding projects often require precise material management and coordination to ensure everything runs smoothly. AccuLynx makes it easy for you to anticipate your materials needs, all while reducing the risk of errors that could impact timelines or budgets.
Order siding measurement reports faster
Before you can create an accurate estimate for your siding project, you need precise measurements. With our roofing and siding contractor software, you can skip the hassle of manually measuring and calculating—simply order siding measurement reports directly through AccuLynx, using our integrations with EagleView and HOVER. Once the report is ready, the measurements are automatically added to your job file and will auto-populate your estimate. This simple process ensures that every measurement is accurate, so you can order the right amount of materials the first time.
Simplify your siding estimating and ordering processes
AccuLynx helps you streamline the entire siding estimate and ordering process. You can create custom estimate templates for common materials you install, like vinyl siding, or popular brands like James Hardie. These templates are fully customizable on the fly, so you can easily adjust them to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring you account for the right materials and quantities.
Once your estimate is ready, AccuLynx allows you to turn those estimates into orders in just a few clicks. With direct integrations to major suppliers like ABC, SRS, and Beacon, your estimates automatically pull the most up-to-date pricing and material availability, so you can see your real-time costs and can adjust your profit margins.
Track siding material orders more efficiently
Missing a siding material delivery or experiencing delays can disrupt your schedule and cause unnecessary downtime. With AccuLynx’s Order Manager, you can place and track orders in real time. The tool shows the status of each order—whether it’s pending, in progress, or completed—keeping you informed and organized. This visibility helps you avoid missed deliveries and ensures your materials are ready when you need them.
Streamline your siding job schedules
Managing material deliveries and crew schedules can be a full-time job. AccuLynx’s roofing and siding contractor software has a built-in Production Scheduler that makes it easy to stay on track by syncing your crew schedules and material deliveries in one place. If a delay occurs—whether from the weather, or late shipments—you can quickly adjust your schedule in real time, automatically notifying your staff and the homeowner. The scheduler also helps you identify and resolve conflicts, like double bookings, before they cause problems.
Reduce material waste on the job site
Miscommunication can lead to crews arriving unprepared or having to make unnecessary trips back to the supplier, resulting in wasted time and materials. With AccuLynx’s Crew App, you can create detailed Labor Checklists that ensure your subcontractors have everything they need before, during, and after the job. You can use these checklists to help prevent waste by clearly outlining the exact materials and tasks required for each stage of the project. By reducing the chances of errors like over-cutting or incorrect orders, you can minimize material waste while also helping you to improve collaboration with subcontractors and crews.
