JobNimbus is a capable, residential-leaning roofing and contractor CRM. SitewideOps adds the commercial project and accounting layer: schedules of values, WIP, AIA progress billing, certified payroll, and real job costing.
JobNimbus is a well-liked roofing and contractor CRM: leads, contacts, pipeline, and production tracking, with a residential lean. For a sales-driven roofing business, a strong CRM is genuinely valuable, and JobNimbus does that job.
Commercial and metal roofing carries a second half a CRM was never meant to run: schedules of values, submittals and RFIs, months-long projects, progress billing with retainage, certified payroll, committed-cost tracking, and a WIP schedule your controller relies on. SitewideOps is built for that project and accounting depth, so the estimate, the crews in the field, and the numbers your controller reads all share one job number.
This table focuses on the commercial project and accounting depth beyond a CRM. JobNimbus is strong at sales pipeline and residential production; the rows below are the billing and job-cost capabilities a commercial contractor leans on.

If the estimate and the pipeline are handled but the middle of the job (costing, WIP, and billing) lives in spreadsheets, this is the gap.
A source-document cost ledger by cost code and cost type: committed vs actual with cost-to-complete forecasting, so the numbers reconcile instead of being estimated.
Cost-to-cost work-in-progress by department and location with over/under billing and month-end snapshots your controller and bonding company can rely on.
Bill against a schedule of values, generate G702/G703 pay applications with retainage, and draft the AR invoice automatically.
WH-347 reports generated from the same field time that hits job cost, no separate certified-payroll spreadsheet.
Purchase orders, receipts, bills, subcontracts with progress billing, and inventory, the commitment side of the budget, tracked in one place.
Dimensional general ledger by project, location, department, and cost code, designed to map cleanly into any accounting system's chart of accounts.
Love your CRM? Some contractors keep a sales CRM they like and want commercial project controls behind it. SitewideOps carries sales through to job costing, WIP, and billing in one system, but if your need is purely a sharper residential sales pipeline, a CRM-first tool like JobNimbus may be the closer fit.
