PDR hail reports
Know which hailstorms are worth deploying for
HailPing reads every hail storm for PDR: damaging hail, the vehicles in the path, and one Call first list of the dealers, fleets and partners in and near the hail path. You get a GO or VERIFY call.
Built for PDR teams evaluating markets before they send a crew.
- Ground hail reports
- Radar-estimated hail swath
- Hail 1″ and larger, continental US
- Modeled exposure, field verification still needed
From hail reports to deployment priorities
A raw hail report shows where hail was reported. It does not say whether the vehicles, the damaging hail or the businesses nearby justify a trip.
-
Storm severity
Damaging hail size, report concentration and storm timing.
-
Vehicles in the path
How many vehicles sat under the hail.
-
Call first list
Dealers, fleets and partners in and near the hail path.
-
Hail swath
The radar-estimated area where the hail fell.
Together they produce a PDR-specific GO or VERIFY call.
A recent storm, read for PDR
A recent storm from the live report page, and a real app screen from an example storm. The figures on the screen are an example, not current storm data.

Damaging hail and the vehicles in the path support a deployment review.
Verify the corridor and prepare to mobilize.

How the PDR read works
Modeled exposure, built for field verification
HailPing tells you where to look first. Your crew still checks the vehicles.
See how HailPing works- Ground reports
- Reported hail 1″ and larger
- Hail swath
- Radar estimate of where the hail fell
- Vehicles in the path
- Modeled vehicle exposure, not a count of damaged vehicles
- Call first list
- Dealers, fleets and partners in and near the hail path
What it does not do: name the exact vehicles that were damaged, or guarantee claims, leads or revenue.
Questions
How does HailPing evaluate PDR opportunity?
HailPing combines reported hail with modeled vehicle exposure and the dealers, fleets and partners in and near the hail path into one PDR assessment.
What does a PDR GO or VERIFY mean?
GO means damaging hail and the vehicles in the path support a deployment review. VERIFY means the storm looks promising, so confirm damage in the field before committing a crew.
Does HailPing identify exact vehicles with damage?
No. HailPing shows modeled vehicle exposure and damage potential. Verify conditions in the field before you deploy.
What PDR data is included with a free account?
A free account on iPhone gets hail alerts for the states you pick, a PDR GO or VERIFY on every new storm, a preview of each new report and a few leads to call. Once a report is 14 days old, the full PDR briefing opens free. The full Call first list and exports stay Pro.
What does HailPing Pro add for PDR teams?
Pro opens the full PDR briefing on new storms the day they post: vehicle exposure in figures rather than ranges, the full Call first list with call and directions, detailed hail maps and radar replay on new storms, PDF and CSV exports, and radius alerts. It is $99.99 a month or $899.99 a year, and both renew until you cancel.
Who is on the Call first list?
Dealers, fleets and partners in and near the hail path, the businesses most likely to have vehicles under the hail. Each one shows why it made the list.
Is the auto body call the same as PDR?
Mostly. Auto body has its own call, but it shares the dealers and fleets near the hail and the Call first list. A body shop reads them as repair partners, and the partner shops differ.
