Storm Intake Floodgate
Every lead — calls, web forms, Facebook DMs, photo texts, tent walk-ins — lands in one pipeline. Nothing dies in a thread.

Websites & Systems for Auto Hail & PDR Shops
Your bays are storm-ready. Is your back office?
When 150 cars need estimates in one week, the shops with systems eat — and the shops on paper drown. We build storm-week websites and custom operation management systems for the way hail and PDR shops actually run: RO boards, photo-estimate intake, customer auto-updates, supplements, rentals, and tech commission math.
- RO pipeline boards
- Photo-estimate intake
- Customer SMS updates
- Supplement tracking
- Commission matrix
- Storm landing pages

The storm-week problem
Hail season doesn't break your techs. It breaks your tracking.
Every shop owner in hail country knows what happens the week after a big cell drops on the metroplex.
📵
Estimates die in text threads
A customer texts photos at 9pm. Another DMs Facebook. A walk-in leaves a note. By Wednesday, nobody knows who was never called back — and each lost RO is $3–8k.
☎️
"Where's my car?" calls all day
Your office spends storm week playing phone tag for status updates instead of booking new work. One system update could kill 80% of it.
🧾
Supplements stuck in limbo
Insurance approved the original claim weeks ago. The supplement? Somewhere between a sticky note and a spreadsheet. That's your money, parked.
🧮
Commission math by spreadsheet
Dent counts, matrices, R&I splits — calculated at 11pm after a 14-hour day. Mistakes cost you techs, or cost you margin.
🚗
Rental cars in the wind
Whose rental is due back? Which customer has the Camry? Nobody's quite sure, and the rental company definitely is.
📋
The whiteboard is the system
And the whiteboard can't text a customer, chase a claim, or tell you this week's numbers. It definitely can't come with you to the tent sale.
The Storm Ops System
One system. Every car, claim and customer.
Pick the modules you need now — add more as you grow. Built around YOUR shop's process, not someone else's template.
Representative mockup — your system is designed around your shop's exact workflow. ▶ Play with the live interactive demo below — drag a repair order and watch the customer get texted.
📋
RO Pipeline Board
Drag-and-drop every repair order from Estimate to Delivered. The whiteboard, upgraded — and it fits in your pocket.
- Custom stages for your process
- Dent counts, R&I, claim #s
- Bays, techs & ETAs at a glance
💬
Customer Auto-Updates
Car moves a stage → customer gets a text. "Where's my car?" calls drop off a cliff. Office hours get their life back.
- SMS/email on stage change
- Pickup & delivery scheduling
- Review request after delivery
🧾
Supplement & Claim Tracker
Every claim number, approved amount and pending supplement on one screen — with aging flags so nothing quietly expires.
- Original vs supplement amounts
- Follow-up reminders
- Carrier-side notes per RO
🧮
Tech Commission Matrix
Dent counts, matrices and splits calculated automatically from completed ROs. Payday stops being spreadsheet night.
- Matrix-based pay rules
- Per-tech production reports
- Export to payroll
🚘
Rental & Logistics
Which customer has which rental, due-back dates, shuttle schedules — the small stuff that eats hours when it's untracked.
- Rental assignments & due dates
- Overdue alerts
- Pickup/drop-off log
⭐
Review Autopilot
Happy customer grabs keys → Google review request goes out automatically. Your rating compounds all season long.
- Timed review texts
- Reply-from-one-inbox
- Rating dashboard
🔌
Plays Nice With Your Tools
Keep your estimating app. Keep your carrier portals. The system wraps around what already works and fills the gaps between.
- CSV imports/exports
- Your data stays yours
- No per-seat fees, ever
Live interactive demo — no signup, no sales call required
Don't take our word for it. Drag the cars yourself.
This is a working Storm Ops System loaded with storm-week data for a fictional DFW shop. Drag a repair order between stages and watch the customer get texted. Check claims, commissions, rentals — every screen works.
🖱️ Try this first: on the RO Board, drag any car to the next stage — the SMS simulator shows the text the customer would get.
🧮 Then open Commission: slide the $/dent rate and every tech's paycheck recalculates live.
↺ Messed it up? Hit Reset and it reloads to the starting state. It's all sample data — you can't break anything.
Yours would run on YOUR domain, in YOUR colors, around YOUR process. Book the free storm-ops call — we'll map your shop's workflow live on the call, and you keep the map either way.
The Storm-Ready Website
When the sirens stop, your site goes to work.
The 48 hours after a hailstorm decide who gets the season's work. Your site needs to catch that flood — on a phone, in a parking lot, on one bar of signal.
📸
Photo-estimate intake
Customers snap four pictures of the damage and get a real response — 24/7, no phone tag. The single highest-converting feature in PDR.
🌩️
Storm page, one click
Pre-built landing page for each storm — date, cities hit, "$0 out-of-pocket" explainers — activated the night it hails, ranking while competitors sleep.
📱
Built for one bar of signal
Sub-second loads on battered parking-lot LTE, click-to-call everywhere, forms that work with thumbs. That's where hail customers live.
🔎
SEO for "hail repair near me"
Insurance-process pages, city-by-city coverage, review schema — the structure that puts you in the map pack when it matters most.
Why RexTech
We already speak hail.
Most agencies need a crash course on what an RO matrix is. We've built for auto hail & PDR operations before — the supplements, the deductible dance, the commission math, the storm-week madness. Real project walkthroughs are shared on request.

Investment
Straight numbers, no mystery.
One lost hail RO is worth $3,000–8,000. A prevented bad week pays for the system.

Questions hail shop owners actually ask
Fair questions. Straight answers.
Estimating tools count dents — they don't run your shop. We build the layer around them: storm intake, RO pipeline, customer texts, supplements, rentals, commission math. You keep every tool that works; the chaos between them goes away.
That's exactly why it's the right time. A system takes 6–10 weeks. Call in March and you'll be too buried to answer the phone, let alone migrate. Shops that build in the off-season eat when the sirens go off.
Websites typically start around $3,500. Ops systems are scoped by module and always quoted fixed, in writing, before any work starts. Milestone payments as we build — you never pay for a surprise.
You own it all: code, database, hosting account in your business's name. No per-seat fees that grow as you hire techs, no hostage software. Leaving is as simple as taking your keys.
Not one bit. DFW is our home hail territory, but we build for shops anywhere storms hit — Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, wherever the seasons spin. Everything runs over calls and screen-shares.
