Zuper has launched Zuper Sense, an AI-powered operations platform designed for roofing and exterior contractors. The Seattle-based company said the tool provides real-time monitoring, analysis and predictive insights across jobs, invoices, crews and customer accounts.

The platform allows contractors to ask business questions in plain language and receive recommended actions, including the ability to deploy AI agents to complete tasks such as collections, dispatch coordination and customer communication.

“Jobs slip. Estimates age out. Invoices go uncollected,” Anand Subbaraj, founder and CEO of Zuper, said in a statement. “A contractor can ask ‘what is at risk this week,’ get a real answer in seconds, and deploy an agent to fix it before lunch.”

According to Zuper, the system continuously monitors operational data to flag issues such as aging estimates, invoice delays, labor overruns and inefficient dispatch routes. The company said the platform also integrates external data sources, including weather forecasts and competitor reviews, through “Intelligence Packages.”

Zuper said roofing contractors participating in an early-access program reported recovering between $50,000 and $150,000 per month in estimates that might otherwise have expired. Other reported results included faster collections and increased storm-event call response rates.

"For most of my career, the roofing industry has run on reports we read after the fact," said JT Ulyatt, CEO of Maven, based in Hampstead, N.C. "Zuper Sense is the first tool I have used that actually runs ahead of an operator. I am not waiting on a Friday spreadsheet to find out what happened Monday. I am seeing it as it happens with a fix already lined up. That is the biggest change I have made to my business in the past 20 years." 

Zuper Sense is now available to existing and new customers.
