A mid-sized roofing company cut manual work by 40% and increased closed deals by 25% by automating job scheduling, customer follow-ups, and estimate generation. Discover how workflow automation and AI integration can drive efficiency and revenue.

By connecting Zapier for job scheduling, Make for automated follow-ups, and ChatGPT for instant estimates, this roofing business streamlined its entire sales and operations workflow. Flow Genius specializes in helping service companies achieve similar results with custom automation and AI solutions.

The Challenge

Manual scheduling, slow customer responses, and inconsistent estimates were stalling growth for a 35-person roofing company. Office staff spent hours each week juggling calendars, chasing leads, and preparing quotes. According to McKinsey (2024), 60% of service businesses waste time on repetitive administrative tasks. The company needed a solution to save time, improve customer experience, and close more deals.

The Solution

Flow Genius designed a workflow automation system using Zapier, Make, and ChatGPT. Zapier handled job scheduling by syncing sales reps’ calendars with field teams and sending automated reminders. Make triggered personalized customer follow-ups after every inquiry or site visit. ChatGPT generated accurate, branded estimates in seconds. This integration eliminated bottlenecks, reduced errors, and allowed staff to focus on higher-value work.

Implementation Steps

1. Mapped out the full customer journey, identifying manual touchpoints that could be automated. 2. Integrated Zapier with the company’s CRM and Google Calendar to automate job scheduling and reminders. 3. Built Make scenarios to send tailored follow-up emails and SMS messages after site visits, using customer data from the CRM. 4. Connected ChatGPT via API to generate instant, customized estimates based on project details entered by sales reps. 5. Tested all automations, trained staff on new workflows, and set up dashboards to monitor performance and response times.

Results

Within three months, the company reduced manual administrative workload by 40%. Response times to customer inquiries dropped from 24 hours to under 1 hour. The sales team reported a 25% increase in closed deals, attributed to faster follow-ups and instant estimates. Customer satisfaction scores rose by 18% (in-house survey, 2024). The business saved over 20 hours per week, equivalent to $2,000 in monthly labor costs.
