Technology alone isn’t enough

By Jenny Yu. 

To stay competitive, scale your business and provide the best service possible, contractors should look to invest in a strategic, integrated CRM ecosystem.  

Whether they're using Excel spreadsheets, managing finances through QuickBooks or ordering materials through online portals, most roofing contractors today use technology as a part of their daily operations. However, simply using one or two separate tech platforms isn’t an efficient way for a business to stay competitive and grow in today’s market. At the Western Roofing Expo 2025 put on by Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA), Jon Marigliano, National Sales Manager at Leap, spoke with Megan R. Ellsworth about how Leap’s solutions are helping contractors move from manual chaos to digital cohesion. 

“The problem is, contractors don't really have a place to organize all of these things,” Jon shared. “You're doing 20 different things in 20 different places. How do you bring that all together and make it a streamlined, cohesive experience?” 

Leap’s two main offerings—SalesPro, a point-of-sale enablement tool, and Leap CRM, a platform acquired through the company’s purchase of JobProgress—bring project data, estimates and integrations into one, cohesive system. “It takes all these different things and puts it onto one nice, neat package,” Jon said. “This helps save a tremendous amount of time and allows roofers to focus on what they do best, which is roofing.” 

One exciting addition to Leap’s services is their new integration with ABC Supply, which joins existing integrations with SRS and QXO. “When roofers build their estimate within Leap CRM, it's actually going to bring in their live, up-to-date pricing from ABC,” Jon explained. “Instead of logging into ABC and placing the order separately, you can just place the order right into ABC from Leap.” 

This connected workflow eliminates the headache of transferring data back and forth, reduces human error and ensures contractors are working with the most accurate, current pricing. For roofing contractors ready to let go of juggling multiple apps, spreadsheets and software logins, Leap’s connected platform is offering a smarter, simpler way forward!
