Import Your Assets Into The App

When setting up your HailTrace account, we recommend uploading your clients into the app to unlock powerful sales and management tools.


By importing your client list, you can:

  • Generate new sales from past storms – Identify and contact leads or customers affected by previous weather events.

  • Stay proactive for future storms – Receive instant alerts when your customers are impacted by new storms.

This streamlined process helps your team stay organized, maximize sales opportunities, and maintain better control over cash flow.


Before uploading your asset list, we recommend you complete the following steps in setting up your HailTrace account:

  1. Add Sub-Users: You can assign your assets to your sub-users.

  2. Create custom fields: We have pre-set fields for contacts, opportunities and assets, but you can create custom fields for your upload.

  3. Create opportunity pipeline: If you have our canvassing plan, creating your pipeline first allows you to assign your clients to the correct step in your sales funnel. 

  4. Set up custom price lists for RoofTrace: If you have our Canvassing and RoofTrace plans, creating custom pricing allows admins to have more control of how pricing is calculated if you plan to use the prefill price option during your importing process.
