PDR Hail Intelligence

Know which hailstorms are worth deploying for

HailPing combines damaging hail, vehicle exposure, direct-hit sellers, and PDR competition into a PDR-specific GO, WATCH, or SKIP assessment.

Built for PDR teams evaluating markets before they send a crew.

From hail reports to deployment priorities

Raw hail reports show storm activity. They do not tell a PDR team whether vehicle exposure, damaging hail concentration, and direct-hit seller targets justify travel.

These signals produce a PDR-specific GO, WATCH, or SKIP recommendation.

  1. 1

    Storm severity

    Damaging hail size, report concentration, and storm timing.

  2. 2

    Vehicle exposure

    Modeled vehicles across the affected market.

  3. 3

    Seller targets

    Direct-hit vehicle sellers ranked for outreach.

  4. 4

    PDR competition

    PDR operators and body shops competing for the same work.

Why field verification still matters

Damaging hail and corridor sellers may support a deployment review, or weaker density may call for caution. Open the free PDR assessment in the app for this storm’s actual GO, WATCH, or SKIP.

A clear recommendation for every storm

Each PDR assessment receives its own recommendation based on damaging hail, vehicle exposure, seller targets, competition, and confidence.

GO

Strong deployment candidate

Damaging hail and direct-hit seller density support a deployment review.

Suggested action Verify corridor targets and prepare to mobilize.

WATCH

Promising, but verify first

Signals are mixed — sparse reports, age, or weak seller density call for caution.

Suggested action Confirm market quality before committing travel.

SKIP

Low PDR priority

The storm lacks enough damaging hail or market quality for a focused deploy.

Suggested action Pass unless new evidence changes the picture.

Modeled intelligence built for field verification

HailPing uses reported hail, modeled vehicle exposure, seller targets, and repair competition to prioritize markets. It does not claim exact vehicles damaged or guarantee leads or revenue. Field verification remains essential.

FAQ

How does HailPing evaluate PDR opportunity?

HailPing combines damaging hail, modeled vehicle exposure, direct-hit vehicle sellers, and PDR competition into one PDR-specific assessment.

What does a PDR GO, WATCH, or SKIP mean?

GO means damaging hail and seller density support a deployment review. WATCH means signals are mixed and need confirmation. SKIP means the storm lacks enough hail or market quality for a focused deploy.

Does HailPing identify exact vehicles with damage?

No. HailPing shows modeled vehicle exposure and damage potential. Verify conditions in the field before deploying.

What PDR data is included with a free account?

Free accounts include custom hail alerts, a PDR-specific decision with confidence and headline when available, and a limited opportunity preview.

What does HailPing Pro add for PDR teams?

Pro unlocks full seller target lists, competition detail, map depth, and complete storm event history.

Are dealerships repair competition?

No. Direct-hit vehicle sellers are primary targets for PDR. PDR operators and body shops are competition.

Is the auto body assessment the same as PDR?

No. Auto body uses a local repair demand model with different thresholds and framing.
