Know which hailstorms are worth deploying for

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

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.

VERIFY

Promising, but verify first

Signals are mixed — sparse reports or weak seller density call for a look in the field.

Suggested action Confirm damage and market quality before committing travel.

OLD

Past its action window

The report has aged past its action window, so the market has likely already been worked.

Suggested action Deploy against more recent storms instead.

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, VERIFY, or OLD mean?

GO means damaging hail and seller density support a deployment review. VERIFY means the storm looks promising — field-verify damage before committing crews. OLD means the report has aged past its action window.

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 get hail alerts for the states they pick, a PDR-specific GO, VERIFY, or OLD on every storm, and a preview of each new report with seller counts. Once a report is 14 days old, the full PDR briefing opens free. Seller lead lists and exports stay Pro.

What does HailPing Pro add for PDR teams?

Pro opens the full PDR briefing on new storms the day they publish: every ranked priority market, exact vehicle exposure, seller lead lists with phone numbers, directions, and ratings, competition lists, radar playback, PDF briefings and CSV exports, and radius alerts around the addresses you choose.

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.
