Approve access once. Every JobNimbus appointment gets a brief.
JobNimbus stays your system of record. ServiceScout reads the schedule, builds a brief for every inspection, storm and replacement visit — roof age before the ladder, the storm's date and distance before the homeowner mentions it — and reads the outcome back.
Integration
JobNimbusHow it works with JobNimbus
Connect
An Owner / Admin approves access once from Integrations. ServiceScout reads your schedule on its own from then on.
Choose which jobs get briefs
Job type names should carry 'roof', 'storm', 'inspection', 'repair', 'replacement' or 'shingle'. For roofing, 'inspection' is treated as a sales visit — it usually is.
Deliver
Reps sync from JobNimbus. Each gets a verified number and a channel — text, Slack, Teams or phone call — and briefs go out at assignment or at the timing you choose.
Learn
The result is read from JobNimbus after the visit, and close rate updates by rep, job type and play.
What the brief emphasizes for roofing
- Storm historyPublic weather records
- Hail and wind events near the address in recent weeks and months, with dates and distance. The Storm badge fires when a recent event is close. Storm response.
- Roof agePermits + year built
- A roof permit from 2009 tells you the roof's age before you climb the ladder.
- The home from aboveWhere available
- A look at the roof from aerial imagery — layout, complexity, obvious issues — so you know what you're walking up to.
- Insurance contextYour state
- Where the visit may become a claim conversation, the brief notes what that typically involves in your state. The rep's job is to document; the claim is the homeowner's.
- Tenure and home valueThe conversation
- A long-tenure owner with a tired roof is a replacement conversation; a recent buyer may have an inspection report in a drawer.

Who it's for
What the owner gets
A brief on every inspection and storm visit with a one-time approval, and close rate by rep on full replacements — the visits that carry the money.
What the office gets
After a storm, Bulk Upload turns the affected streets into a briefed canvass overnight; storm-badged jobs go to the reps who document well.
What the tech gets
The storm's date and distance and the roof's age before the ladder, and the first line to say at a door three companies have already knocked on.
Questions people ask
What do I need to connect JobNimbus?
Admin access to JobNimbus and a ServiceScout Owner / Admin login. Approve access once and ServiceScout reads your schedule from then on.
Does ServiceScout write anything into JobNimbus?
No. Jobs, reps and results flow in; nothing flows back. Briefs go to reps by text, Slack, Teams or phone call.
Can I brief every house on a street after a hailstorm?
Yes — Bulk Upload takes a list of addresses and builds a brief for each, with storm date and distance, roof age from permits and the play. Briefs for any address.
Which play should I expect on storm visits?
Trust dominates after a storm — homeowners have had three companies at the door already. Send reps who document well and explain calmly, and lead with photos, not price.
