Top January Stories: Drone technology, AI advancement and MetalVue

By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Here’s what has been trending on the MetalCoffeeShop™ (MCS) newsroom this past month. 

Roofing contractors everywhere are looking for ways to make the roof inspection process easier. That’s why two of our most read articles from January 2024 highlight how drones can be used for this very purpose. Both of these articles highlight EagleView Assess, which are drones that allow roofers to capture high-definition aerial imagery that can be used to create quality inspection reports. 

Another type of technology that’s on the rise is artificial intelligence (AI). One of our most popular articles came to us from RoofersCoffeeShop Reporter, Jonny Suchor, who dives into the advancement of AI and 5G phones. The article discusses how Rilla uses advanced AI technology to help roofing businesses improve their sales processes by analyzing verbal interactions. 

Our most read article from January 2024 was about Sherwin-Williams' program for roofing businesses, MetalVue. This article was written by our Reporter, Dani Sheehan, who highlights the MetalVue booth at the 2024 International Roofing Expo (IRE). Although IRE has passed, the great deals MetalVue has to offer are still available year-round! Visit our MetalVue directory page to learn how your roofing business can make more with metal.
