Aerialogics Signs Exclusive Strategic Alliance Agreement with ServiceMagic
Partnership Capitalizes on Aerialogics’ Professional Roof Estimating Tool that Improves Operational Efficiency, Measurement Accuracy and Re-Roofing Project Results
NASHUA, New Hampshire, (October 12, 2011) – Aerialogics, a leading supplier of aerial measurement services to the U.S. roofing, insurance and solar industries, announced today it has entered into an exclusive partnership with ServiceMagic, the premier website that connects homeowners to pre-screened and customer-rated local service professionals. The multi-year strategic alliance agreement will drive coordinated service efforts to both companies’ mutual customers. Under terms of the agreement, ServiceMagic will offer Aerialogics’ aerial measurement services to program contractors when a re-roof, PV solar install, or other property bid opportunity occurs. Contractors can readily access Aerialogics’ aerial measurement services to source a customized report in 24 hours-or-less that contains diagrammed roof measurements accurate to within 1-2% of actual measurements. These reports serve as the basis of highly accurate preliminary estimates and are a professional sales presentation tool.
“Partnering with Aerialogics is exciting because it offers our re-roofing and PV solar service professionals an effective way to expedite an accurate preliminary estimate without having to visit a property to manually gather measurements,” said Chris Terrill, CEO of ServiceMagic. “Aerial measurement reporting will drive cost savings for our contractors in both time and fuel by reducing the traditional two trips needed to quote a residential re-roofing project, down to just one,” added Terrill.
“As a past customer of ServiceMagic as a roofing contractor, I found we were most effective closing leads generated by ServiceMagic when entering the living room with an accurate and professional estimate on my first visit. By ServiceMagic providing aerial measurement reports with a quality lead, contractors enjoy one-stop-shopping and increase close ratios,” stated Aerialogics Senior VP, Andrew Zickell.
