Where AerialReports CRM is built differently.
Measurement engine you own — not a bolt-on
AerialReports has operated its own aerial measurement platform since 2014. Measurements are ordered from the job card, delivered same-day, and feed directly into the estimate — no third-party portal, no copy-paste.
Instant PDF-to-ESX — for any PDF measurement
Have a measurement PDF from any source? Instant PDF-to-ESX turns it into a Xactimate-formatted ESX file in seconds — ready for you to review and import. No re-typing measurements by hand, no spreadsheet intermediary — critical for high-volume insurance claims.
Real insurance claims workflow
RCV, ACV, deductible, depreciation, supplement tracking, and Xactimate integration — not just a notes field. The full claim lifecycle lives in the same job record as the estimate, proposal, and payment.
See your price before you talk to anyone
AerialReports CRM pricing is public. Use the plan builder to configure your exact setup — seats, add-ons, measurement tier — and see your real monthly cost in under 30 seconds. No demo required.
Enterprise / Storm Mode volume pricing
High-volume contractors and storm restoration teams can access volume-discounted measurement pricing. The more you order, the lower your per-report cost — calculated automatically, not negotiated one-off.
Roofing + Siding + Exterior — not just roofing
Full exterior workflows with wall measurements, siding estimates, gutter trade groups, and supply house ordering — all in one job record. For contractors who do more than just roofing.
