There are a lot of challenges that contractors run into during their busy day, but working with their suppliers shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why ABC Supply created ABC Connect, an online solution that integrates leading industry software—such as AccuLynx and HOVER with our products and pricing.

ABC Connect gives contractors the ability to continue using the software they’re already comfortable with while allowing them to build estimates and place orders whenever it is most convenient for them.

Here are some of the ways contractors’ jobs at Authority Roofing were made easier with ABC Connect.

About Authority Roofing

As director of operations at Authority Roofing in Frisco, Texas, Catherine Brenneman’s role is to identify construction technology solutions that allow the company to streamline its operations, saving her team time and helping it stand out from competitors.

Brenneman turned to ABC Connect, which integrates with her AccuLynx system, to gain 24/7 access to ABC Supply’s products and pricing.

How ABC Connect Made Things Easier For Authority Roofing

Streamlined Ordering

Authority Roofing services more than 30 cities across four counties, so new jobs come in constantly and the ordering process never stops. ABC Connect with AccuLynx allows Brenneman to seamlessly turn material lists into orders as she receives them. And because orders are created electronically, the system can flag issues, so mishaps are caught before they become problems that impact deliveries.

Total Product Visibility

With ABC Connect, contractors no longer have to rely on hand-drawn sketches, which often lead to time-consuming follow-ups to get more details or confirm information. Through ABC Connect, contractors can electronically enter aerial roof and wall measurements, review and update them if necessary, and create materials lists. This leads to a more efficient ordering process and prevents errors from misinterpreting handwritten information.

Like any contractor, Brenneman has vast knowledge of the products her supplier offers. But even the most experienced professional needs to occasionally look up items and prices—especially the ones that aren’t frequently ordered. Instead of having to pick up the phone and talk to her supplier or visit a location, she can search for the information she needs through the ABC Connect integration with AccuLynx.

Manage Business 24/7

From creating estimates to submitting orders, one of Brenneman’s favorite ABC Connect features is the option to access projects 24/7.

This allows her to place many of her orders after business hours or on the weekends, freeing up time during the day to focus on other projects.
