There were times when it seemed impossible to link companies across the vast territory of the United States. National companies are now the norm. Innovations in systems management and intricate business models have been refined into category killers — companies that dominate business segments or entire industries. Retail, finance and service businesses are consolidating to offer a national presence, and roofing contractors are no exception.
There have been several examples of how to create a contracting organization with a national footprint that meets a new trend: clients who demand a single source to keep thousands of buildings dry. The recent belt tightening in corporate America means shifting much of the maintenance and tracking to outside sources, which can effectively manage roofing systems and energy savings while responding to leaks in short order — all with one phone call.
