Field operations for roofers
Prove the tear-off, beat the weather, see crews spread across roofs
Your crews are on roofs all day, out of sight, racing a weather window. By the time you climb up, the deck is covered. Solis is the field-first system that captures the tear-off and the deck before the new roof goes on, tracks crews across multiple roofs, and time-stamps it all, so a homeowner or an insurer can never claim a layer was skipped.
One day on the roof, fully documented
Tear-off to cleanup, timed to the weather window
Roofing is fast, weather-gated, and proof-heavy. Solis keeps the whole day on the record, so the homeowner and the insurer see exactly what happened and when.

Shingle
New roof on, documented in courses as it goes.
3 PM
Cleanup
Magnet sweep, final photos, homeowner sign-off.
What the field gets out of it
Photo proof of the tear-off and the deck
The most disputed work on a roof is the part nobody can see once shingles are down: how many layers came off, the condition of the decking, the underlayment. Solis pins geotagged photos to the job at each stage, so the tear-off is proven before it is covered, for the homeowner and for the insurance claim.
Track crews you cannot physically watch
Roofing crews are literally over your head and often on several roofs at once. GPS check-ins tell you which crew is on which roof and that work has started, so you manage multiple jobs in a day without climbing every ladder.
Work the weather window with real information
Roofing is governed by weather. When a window opens or closes, you need to move crews fast. Knowing exactly where each crew stands through the proof-of-work chain lets you redirect to the roof that has to get dried in before the rain, not guess.
Back up every insurance and warranty claim
Roofing work runs on documentation: storm damage, scope, completion. A time-stamped, geotagged photo record is exactly what an adjuster and a manufacturer warranty want to see, and it is built automatically as your crew works.
How Solis runs your roofers crew
Every step adds a link to the proof-of-work chain: check-in, photo, completion, signature.
- 1
Crew checks in on the roof
Each crew checks in by GPS at the property, so you know which roof is staffed and that the tear-off has begun.
- 2
Tear-off and deck get documented
Geotagged photos capture the layers removed, the decking condition, and the underlayment, time-stamped before the new roof covers them.
- 3
Dry-in and completion get proven
Each stage attaches to the job, so dried-in and finished are on the record, which matters when weather or a claim is involved.
- 4
The claim file builds itself
By completion, the job carries an ordered, photo-backed record ready for the homeowner, the adjuster, or a warranty submission.
English and Spanish, side by side
Roofing crews are very often Spanish-speaking. Solis runs in English and Spanish at the same time, so every roofer sees their job, their check-in, and their tasks in their own language while you run the board in yours.
Questions roofers ask
- My crews are on the roof all day and I can't see the work. How does Solis fix that?
- GPS check-ins tell you which crew is on which roof, and geotagged photos document the tear-off, deck, and dry-in as the work happens. You get visibility into work that is literally over your head without climbing every ladder.
- Can it prove the tear-off for an insurance claim?
- Yes. The most disputed part of a roof is what got covered up. Time-stamped, geotagged photos of the layers removed and the deck condition give you exactly the evidence an adjuster and a manufacturer warranty ask for.
- Weather changes everything for us. Does the app help me move crews?
- Knowing where every crew stands in real time, through the proof-of-work chain, lets you redirect to the roof that has to get dried in before rain. You make the call on information, not a guess.
- We run several roofs in a day. Can one person keep up?
- That is the point. Check-ins and the live job view let you manage multiple roofs at once and step in only where a job needs you, instead of driving the whole route to find out what is going on.
