Where Leap Shines
Leap offers a feature-rich platform suitable for contractors who require customizable workflows and in-home sales tools. It's particularly beneficial for businesses that have the resources to invest in setting up and managing a more complex system
What Leap Does Well:
- In-Home sales tools
- Comprehensive end-to-end features (like Roof Chief)
- More integrations available
But Keep in mind:
- Learning Curve for Advanced Features: Some users have noted that setting up and utilizing advanced features requires time and effort.
- Support Responsiveness: While support is available, some users have reported delays in receiving assistance.
- Additional Costs for Users: As your team grows, pricing can get expensive.
- Potentially Issues in two different platforms: Feedback from some users have shared some issues in the CRM and Sales tools connecting.
- Not Roofing-Specific: Because Leap serves various trades, future feature releases and capabilities may not always impact your day as a roofing contractor
"We also wish there was an easier work order process so our crews could go paperless and still seamlessly provide us the information we need on the back end from them. There also isn't much communication regarding new features or any personal service like an account rep checking in with us to see how we're using the software and training us on how we could use it better."
