Use Claude to write down every job-intake step and find the ones you do twice

who Centennial Roofing (Centennial Construction), a roofing company in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, near Nashville (CEOs Ty Carter and James Perrigo; 508 completed jobs), in Qualified Remodeler

The problem

A roofing job touches many apps (CompanyCam, Dropbox, Google Drive, QuickBooks, Xactimate and Zoho), the same information gets typed into several of them, and transposed numbers and letters cause problems with insurance agents, adjusters and homeowners.

What happened

No time or error figures are given. Plans, not results yet: the company was looking into another AI agent built for it to help with its daily operating systems, and digging into API keys for the apps above so information isn't duplicated. Company-reported.

How to set it up yourself

1. What Centennial Roofing does: it uses Claude to write out its daily job-intake process step by step and to look for steps that repeat, because the same job details go into several apps.
2. Walk through one real job from first call to signed contract and, at each step, say or type what you do and which app you type it into. A voice memo is fine.
3. Paste those notes into a Claude Project with the prompt below and ask for a numbered procedure plus a table of every field (name, address, claim number, measurements) and each app it gets typed into.
4. Pick the field that's typed in the most places and decide where it should live first; copy from there instead of retyping, and check claim numbers and addresses twice before anything goes to an adjuster.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are my notes on how {COMPANY NAME} takes in a new roofing job, from first call to signed contract: {NOTES}. The apps we use are {APPS, e.g. CompanyCam, Dropbox, Google Drive, QuickBooks, Xactimate, Zoho}. 1) Write it as a numbered step-by-step procedure a new office hire could follow. 2) Make a table of every piece of information (customer name, address, claim number, measurements and so on) and every app it gets typed into. 3) List the steps that repeat the same information and suggest where each piece should be entered once. Don't invent steps I didn't describe.
