How it works

Entering / Calculating Dimensions

Engineered to mirror the workflow of expert estimators, Swiftest transforms your roofing calculations into a streamlined process. When you only have the roof drawings, our intuitive worksheet functionality allows you to build accurate roof area calculations. The custom labelling system ensures all sections can be clearly referenced for future consultations, saving valuable time and eliminating potential errors.

Support is second to none — whether it’s answering technical queries, offering guidance, or helping to resolve an issue, they always go above and beyond. It’s rare to find a company that maintains such a high standard of service over a long period. The software itself is intuitive, dependable, and clearly developed with a strong understanding of the industry’s needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swiftest to anyone looking for a professional, well-supported solution.

Helped me go from an ‘unemployed’ web designer (due to covid lockdowns) to a confident estimator, in less than a month. It makes the whole pricing and product selection so simple!
