Kelly Roofing is a general roofing contractor in Florida, USA. This family-owned business constructs and repairs roofs for residential and commercial customers.
“Since we’ve implemented Experlogix, we’ve seen more than a 300% increase in our top line. And we’ve more than doubled our bottom line. For us, it’s paid for itself time and time again.”
Ken Kelly, President at Kelly Roofing
Challenge
Kelly Roofing relied on a per-piece pricing method, or a calculation based on the square footage of a proposed roof. Neither of these pricing methods was ideal. The company found they were losing business because of inadequate quotes or lost money on projects when their quoting procedure didn’t address all the costs. Kelly Roofing constructed quotes with an Excel spreadsheet, which was difficult to support and allowed employees in the field to make configuration mistakes.
With prices for materials changing rapidly, Kelly Roofing needed a better way to make sure their salespeople were generating quotes consistent with current conditions.
“Some of our biggest challenges were keeping all salespeople using the same pricing, offering the same products, and being able to update the price list in real time.”
Ken Kelly, President at Kelly Roofing
Under the spreadsheet method, Kelly’s salespeople would sometimes mix details from different roofing systems. These errors impeded the company’s ability to price the projects accurately and order the proper materials for the jobs.
Solution
Experlogix helped Kelly Roofing increase their revenue and net profits. Now, when salespeople deliver a proposal, they can include options and upgrades that boost revenue. The flexibility enabled by the Experlogix system also gives salespeople more opportunities to close a deal. Instead of delivering a single solution, Kelly Roofing salespeople can show customers multiple options at various price points.
“Experlogix has helped us to increase our revenue because we are now delivering options in our proposals. The customers can choose from optional upgrades that help them buy the roof that best meets their needs and budgets.”
Ken Kelly, President at Kelly Roofing
With its rules-based configuration, Experlogix has virtually eliminated salesperson quoting errors. Now salespeople answer some questions, input the project specifics, and the system generates accurate quotes.
The new CPQ system also makes it possible for Kelly Roofing to launch new products quickly. When they became authorized installers for the new Tesla Solar Roof System, the Kelly team input the new price list and added a few equations. Instantly, the entire sales team had access to the new products, ready to quote for customers. Prior to installing Experlogix, this task would have taken Kelly months of programming and testing.
