Siding software
DispatchMind runs a siding company from one place: calls and leads in, jobs on the schedule, the work on your team’s phones, then the invoice. Pick Siding when you sign up and it’s set up for your trade from the first screen. You can change any of it later.
Siding jobs start with a walk around the house and end with a crew on ladders for days. You are measuring walls, matching colors, ordering materials and coordinating trim and soffit work. DispatchMind keeps the measurements, color notes, photos and crew schedule on one job, so the right panels show up on the right day.
A typical siding job in DispatchMind
- A homeowner books an estimate visit through your website form after wind tore off a section of vinyl.
- You walk the house, note the profile and color in custom job fields, and snap photos of every wall.
- The homeowner signs your estimate for storm damage repair plus new soffit and fascia.
- The job is tagged Materials ordered, then booked on the calendar with the install crew once panels arrive.
- The crew closes it out with final photos, and the estimate turns into an invoice the customer pays by card.
What siding owners tell us slows them down
Wrong color, wrong profile
Ordering the wrong siding color is an expensive mistake. Custom job fields hold the brand, profile and color from the estimate visit, so the crew and the supply order both work from the same notes.
Jobs stuck waiting on materials
Special-order panels can take a while, and jobs get forgotten in the meantime. Color tags show which jobs are waiting on material, and the stuck jobs report catches anything that hasn't moved in 60 days.
Matching repairs years later
A customer calls back years later wanting a patch that matches. The customer page keeps every past job at that address with the siding details and photos, so you know what is on the house before you go.

Nellie knows the trade
Nellie is the assistant built into DispatchMind. On a siding account she knows how your customers talk and what to ask:
- Repair or full replacement? What kind of siding?
- Storm damage, and when did it happen?
- One story or two?
- Best time window and the address?
What she treats as urgent: Open wall where rain gets in; Siding loose and about to fall on a walkway.
What she never does: Never quote a price the company hasn’t set in its price book; Never promise what the tech will find before the visit.
Everything else
- Jobs move through four plain steps: Submitted, In progress, Pending, Done pending approval. Your trade’s own steps are color tags you can sort by.
- Estimates and invoices from your price book.
- A tech app for your team, with what each person may see set by you.
- Reports and commissions worked out from your own jobs.
- Bring your customers and jobs over from the system you use now.
Siding software: common questions
Can I save the siding color and brand for each house?
Yes. Add custom job fields for brand, profile and color, and they stay on that customer's history. Future repairs start with the right info.
How do I schedule a multi-day siding install?
Book the job on the calendar across the days you need and assign the crew. Each crew member sees it in their tech app, and crew pay split is worked out when the job closes.
Can I track soffit and trim wrap as separate job types?
Yes. Create job types like Soffit and fascia, Trim wrap and Full replacement, with their own checklist. Reports break down work and money by job type.
Can Nellie answer siding calls while I am on a job?
Yes. Nellie can pick up when you can't, ask what happened to the siding and how much area, and book an estimate visit on your calendar.
Can I try DispatchMind for my siding company before paying?
Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with every feature on, Nellie included, and no card needed. After that it runs month to month, so you can stop any time.
