Technology rarely fails because of the tools. It fails because change is hard.

Real success comes from building better processes around technology. The value is not just in the platform. It is in elevating how work gets done, eliminating busywork and automating the routine tasks that slow teams down.

But change is still hard.

The construction industry sits high on the resistance curve for digital adoption, not because contractors do not care, but because they do not have time to learn something that slows them down. They are running jobs, leading crews, serving customers and chasing growth every day.

At SRS Distribution, we understand that entrepreneurial drive and the responsibility that comes with it. Our role is to support it, not disrupt it. SRS was built on that same spirit, and our focus is helping pros implement smarter processes that empower them to scale.

Beyond software: A true support system

SRS did not just deliver Roof Hub, Powerful Integration Partners and Digital Programs. We built a Digital Success Team to help contractors turn those solutions into real results.

The Digital Success Team works alongside contractors to:

• Bring total visibility into your distributor relationship
• Unify systems through CRM integrations
• Implement repeatable templates
• Leverage digital ordering workflows
• Delete administrative bottlenecks

This partnership-driven approach ensures technology delivers real operational impact, not just another login or another form to fill out. That’s why our focus is simple: we help contractors BUILD smarter workflows.

Real story: Scaling instead of hiring

One contractor told us they were preparing to hire another office manager just to keep up with paperwork. Instead, we helped implement CRM integrations and automated workflows that streamlined their operations. Months later, they redirected that salary into a sales hire, scaling revenue instead of overhead

What this means for contractors

Dan Tinker (SRS CEO) said it best: “There will be two types of roofers in the future: Those who adopt technology and succeed, and those who go out of business.”

Our team mission is simple. Make sure none of our customers fall into the second category.

SRS Distribution is leveling up their digital contractor platform just in time for the busy construction season!  

For today’s contractors, efficient digital workflows are no longer optional — they are essential to staying competitive and operating at scale. That need originally led SRS Distribution to develop Roof Hub — removing friction from how contractors estimate order and keep jobs moving. Now, with a newly released refresh, Roof Hub is taking that experience even further. 

At the center of the update is a redesigned dashboard and streamlined navigation — built to make everyday tasks faster, simpler and more intuitive, while creating the foundation to bring even more powerful features into Roof Hub, such as:  

• Enhanced dashboard and navigation: A cleaner layout helps contractors quickly access the tools they use most.  
• Global product search: Find products instantly from anywhere in Roof Hub. No more jumping between screens. Start a new order, template or estimate from one convenient place now paired with one-page ordering to reduce clicks and speed up the entire process. 

These updates are designed with a clear goal in mind: fewer clicks, less time navigating and more time focused on the job. Enhancements like smart templates, custom measurements and integrated quotes continue to simplify how contractors build, manage and reuse their workflows. 

While the refresh introduces meaningful improvements, it was intentionally designed to feel familiar. Core functionality including pricing, saved templates and order workflow remains unchanged. Instead of disrupting how contractors work, SRS focused on removing friction and accelerating speed so users can move faster without having to relearn the platform. 

Log in today and experience the refresh for yourself. Because at the end of the day, your workflow didn’t change — it just got faster.

SRS Distribution announces the launch of Property Reports and Homeowner Profiles in Roof Hub. 

In sales, knowing the needs of your customer base is an invaluable asset to closing a deal. As chief marketing officer for PandaDoc, Nate Gilmore shares, “The first rule in sales and marketing is to know your customers’ needs and expectations. This includes a thorough understanding of why they should consider your product in the first place.” To successfully capture customer attention, he recommends building an in-depth customer profile.  

What is a customer profile?  

A customer profile is a description of the clients you serve or want to serve. It contains information about their interests, demographics and any other details that might help you better understand how to engage with them. In the world of roofing, a good customer profile also includes information about their property and roof, such as age and material.  

Get started with Roof Hub 

If you’re a contractor looking to level up your sales strategies by using customer profiles, a great way to get started is with Roof Hub! The company just announced that Property Reports and Homeowner Profiles will now exist in the Roof Hub platform, which were previously only available in SRS Distribution’s ProFund. 

The details: 

• Property Reports are client-facing and showcase information and specs that will help you talk to the client about their roof.  
• Homeowner Profiles are contractor-facing and are included in every property report. These profiles give users powerful insights into buyer personas that help guide the closing and upselling process.  

The best part? Every Roof Hub account will receive three (3) complimentary reports to get started! After that, each report will only be $9.95, a great deal for the mind-reading insights and key data that comes with the reports. 

Check out Roof Hub today to get started.

Looking back at the last month at The Coffee Shops™! 

Construction season is in full swing with the long summer days and better weather. Here at The Coffee Shops™ we have also been busy this last month!  

One of our most-read articles from July 2025 came from Dani Sheehan and focused on how changes to federal programs granting temporary legal status and work authorization affect the roofing industry. In her article, she highlights that the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and other allied business associations sent an official letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asking for clear guidance and a transition period to help businesses comply with these changes. She explained, “As this letter to DHS underscores, employers and employees need time and clarity to ensure they are following the law properly. As the rules shift, it’s critical that business owners anticipate coming changes to remain compliant and to protect the skilled workers who help keep your company running.” 

There has also been a lot of talk about customizing your technological tools to work better for your company. Jesse Sanchez wrote one article about a MetalTalk with Dave Chapman from Estimating Edge about the importance of tech stacks while Emma Peterson wrote about tech in terms of SRS Distribution’s Roof Hub program. 

Another trend we’ve seen in the last month is a continuing emphasis on training and partnerships. Our list features multiple articles about these topics, including an article about how Tremco Roofing is bringing training to contractors and one about how partnering with manufacturers like Commercial Distribution Specialists (CDS) can boost your bottom line!

Learn about how Roof Hub is powering the digital job site.

The advent of the digital era has changed all parts of daily life, from how we go grocery shopping to how we buy a new car, and the roofing industry is no exception to that. While at ServiceCon 2025, Heidi J. Ellsworth had the chance to sit down with Delisa DiMercurio, the manager of digital partnerships at SRS Distribution to talk about the importance of technology in today’s roofing world.  

One of the SRS programs that Delisa works closely with is Roof Hub, which is a powerful digital platform that helps contractors scale their businesses with helpful tools like live pricing, real-time tracking and estimating assistance. Delisa shared a few more details about the platform, adding, “What Roof Hub really does is equip our contractors to have real-time access to the materials that we have at the branch, the pricing, everything, so that their scope of work is accurate. And then also at the end of the day with one click of the button, they could send that order to the branch, eliminating some human error, allocating that material instantly, and just getting what they need out the door quicker.”

Roof Hub can deliver all those tools and more because of the integrations and partnerships they have made with leading digital programs in the industry. Examples of these integrations include:

• JobNimbus: By partnering with JobNimbus, Roof Hub is able to level up contractor’s material management processes.
• Acculynx: With Acculynx, Roof Hub users can create estimates and orders with ease and automation.
• Eagleview: Roof Hub connects contractors to Eagleview measurement reports!
• Project Map It: Take your sales and marketing to the next level with an interactive map through the Roof Hub/Project Map It partnership!

This is all part of a larger initiative at SRS to help their contractors have the right tools for the job, both in the field and the office. Delisa explained, “We want to help equip our contractors with great tools to create more efficiency, and digital is a big piece in that.”
