How HailPing works

From hail reports to a call for your trade

HailPing groups the hail reports into one storm and reads the market it hit.
Roofing, PDR and auto body each get their own GO or VERIFY.

A free account gets the storm map and list, alerts for your states, your trade’s GO or VERIFY, and full reports once a storm is 14 days old. Full lead lists and exports stay Pro.

From reported hail to a clear decision

Storm evidence, geography, exposure and your trade’s criteria, so you know where to look first.

  1. Group the hail reports

    Reports are grouped into one storm by time, place and hail size.

  2. Read the market it hit

    The direct hit and the edge of the hail path, what is in them, and the businesses nearby.

  3. Make the call for your trade

    Roofing, PDR and auto body each get their own GO or VERIFY, from the factors that matter to that trade.

The same storm reads differently in each trade

There is no one score for everyone. Each trade gets its own call, its own evidence and its own market data.

The roofing call

Weighs hail severity, the homes in the path, roof-relevant exposure, the market and the competition, to find the areas worth a look.

What it weighs

  • Residential exposure
  • Hail severity and coverage
  • Direct hit and edge-of-path geography
  • Roofing competition
  • Priority areas
  • Confidence and supporting evidence

    A clear GO or VERIFY for the trade you picked.

    How strongly the storm evidence supports the call.

  • Impact geography

    Direct hit, Edge of the hail path, Outside the hail path and Far from the storm, kept apart.

  • Exposure and market data

    The properties, vehicles, businesses and competition in the path.

  • Evidence

    Ground hail reports, hail sizes, timing and the radar-estimated hail swath.

Impact areas are not treated equally

  • Modeled exposure is not confirmed damage.
  • Business listings do not prove repair capacity or availability.
  • Industry assessments support investigation and planning. They do not replace field verification.
