The storm day

From the morning heads-up to the first knock — how a crew runs Hail GPS through a hail day, hour by hour.

Workflow walkthrough — not a customer story. Times are illustrative.

Morning

Know it's coming before it fires.

  1. 06:41

    The heads-up lands

    Morning outlook alert

    Your phone buzzes: hail is forecast for your area today. Hail GPS checks the national hail forecast against your saved territory every morning and only sends the heads-up when the odds are worth acting on — nobody gets woken up over a long shot.

  2. 07:30

    Plan around it

    Alert zones

    You keep the afternoon flexible, tell the crews to wrap the morning's estimates by lunch, and double-check the alert zone drawn around your service area.

Afternoon

Watch it land in real time.

  1. 15:07

    Cells fire west of town

    Live map · radar loop

    The live map starts painting. New hail data lands about every two minutes during a storm, and the radar loop shows you where the cell is headed next.

  2. 15:19

    Your alert goes off

    Storm alerts

    A tracked cell crosses your alert zone. Email, text, Slack, or a notification on your phone — however you set it up, it finds you.

  3. 15:40

    Read the swath

    Hail size bands

    Zoom in. The colors are hail sizes — the same scale the whole industry uses. The core of this one runs from quarter up to golf ball, and you can see exactly which streets sit under the biggest band.

Evening

Turn the swath into a route.

  1. 17:30

    Build tomorrow's route

    Canvassing pins

    Drop pins along the streets under the biggest band and split them between reps. Everyone sees the same pins on their own phone — no group-text screenshots.

  2. 18:10

    Check your own book first

    Address history

    Look up the addresses you've already worked. Past customers sitting inside the swath get a call from you tonight — not a knock from a competitor tomorrow.

Next morning

Every knock inside the band.

  1. 08:00

    Walk the polygon

    At-address lookup

    The crew works the pinned streets. On the porch, pull up the address: the storm's date and the hail size at that exact roof, on your phone, in front of the homeowner.

See what hit your market.

Every storm on record, every size band, every roof — try it on your own zip code.
