AccuLynx is a strong, widely used tool for residential, retail, and insurance-restoration roofing. SitewideOps adds the project controls commercial and metal roofing runs on: schedules of values, WIP, AIA progress billing, and certified payroll.
AccuLynx is well established in residential and retail roofing: homeowner leads, insurance and restoration claims, fast measure-to-install cycles, and the sales-and-production workflow that goes with them. Many contractors run it well for exactly that.
Commercial and metal roofing looks different: negotiated and hard-bid work, schedules of values, submittals and RFIs, months-long projects, progress billing with retainage, certified payroll, and a WIP schedule your controller and bonding company actually read. SitewideOps is built for that side of the business, so the estimate, the field, and the accounting share one job number from first bid to final pay application.
This table focuses on the commercial project controls where the two products diverge. AccuLynx is strong at residential and retail workflows; the rows below are the commercial billing and job-cost capabilities that matter on bid work.

If your work has moved into schools, warehouses, hospitals, and industrial re-roofs, the commercial controls are the gap.
Bill against a schedule of values, generate G702/G703 pay applications with retainage, and draft the AR invoice automatically as the job progresses.
Cost-to-cost work-in-progress by department and location with over/under billing and month-end snapshots, the report bonding companies expect.
WH-347 reports come from the same field time that hits job cost, so prevailing-wage and public work stay compliant without a separate spreadsheet.
The contract-admin paperwork commercial GCs require, tracked in the same system as the schedule and the budget.
Estimate by cost code, department, and location with assemblies and drawing takeoff, priced for negotiated and hard-bid jobs, not retail packages.
Dimensional general ledger by project, location, department, and cost code, designed to map cleanly into any accounting system's chart of accounts.
Still running residential and restoration work too? Plenty of contractors run AccuLynx for the homeowner and restoration side and want commercial-grade project controls for the bid work. SitewideOps is built for the commercial side. We're glad to talk through where the line falls for your shop.
