How does Better Proposals work for roofing teams?
Better Proposals works for roofing teams as the engine behind a DeskFerry agent built around the workflows that actually consume your week.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent reads context from Better Proposals and the other systems your roofing operation depends on, runs the routine work in the background, and surfaces only the cases that need a human decision.
- 02
Reply to every quote request with @Better Proposals
Automate repetitive tasks and free up your roofing team to focus on high-value strategic work.
- 03
Pull satellite measurements and quote three options
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your roofing team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.

Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
