The reasons we hear most often.
"I was paying a third party for measurements and re-keying into ESX by hand."
AerialReports owns the measurement engine. Measurements flow directly into the estimate — and Instant PDF-to-ESX turns any PDF measurement into a Xactimate-formatted ESX file in seconds, ready for you to review and import.
"I had to book a demo just to find out what the software cost."
AerialReports CRM pricing is public. Build your exact plan — seats, add-ons, measurement tier — and see the real monthly price in under 30 seconds. No sales call required.
"My CRM didn't have a real insurance claims workflow."
AerialReports CRM tracks the full claim lifecycle — RCV, ACV, deductible, depreciation, supplements, and Xactimate integration — not just a notes field on a job card.
"As my volume grew, measurement costs didn't go down."
Enterprise and Storm Mode plans include volume-based discount pricing. The more you order, the lower your per-report cost — calculated automatically based on your volume tier.
"We do roofing AND siding AND gutters — most CRMs only do roofing."
AerialReports CRM handles full exterior workflows — roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and doors — with trade-grouped estimates and wall measurement reports, all in one job record.
"Too many tools, too much double entry."
The Click-to-Close workflow runs lead → measurement → estimate → proposal → e-sign → payment → production on one record. No re-keying between six different apps.
