Company offers Members discounted access to software solution that helps them manage their business better

KANKAKEE, IL, Aug. 27, 2014 /CNW/ - IKO, a North American pioneer and global leader in the manufacture of residential and commercial roofing materials, has added a new perk to its recently enhanced IKO ShieldPRO plus+ Professional Roofing Contractor Program: enterprise pricing for the improveit! 360 cloud-based CRM software system.

According to Marketing Director, Carol Perkins, IKO is dedicated to helping professional roofers build their expertise, brand and business. "IKO excels at manufacturing quality roofing products. But we've also developed a reputation among contractors for our on-going commitment to their bottom-line business success."

She adds that IKO has always provided exceptional technical and product support to the company's distributor and contractor networks. "Now we're looking at ways we can help our ShieldPRO plus+ Program Members streamline and automate their operations to make better use of their time and maximize their profitability."

She believes that the improveit! 360 system is an exceptional solution. "It was designed by two veterans of the home improvement industry. They understand the business challenges facing today's roofing contractors and created software specifically to address them."

improveit! 360 is an all-in-one management system that gives contractor business owners an easy, convenient way to generate and manage their leads, track sales, automate their marketing, prepare and follow up on quotes, schedule appointments, keep projects on track and generate reports – all in real time.

Described as a "closed-loop marketing system", it offers automated emails, reminders and scheduling in one centralized location. Because it's cloud-based, there's no software to buy or hardware to install. All information is stored securely and backed-up regularly. It can be accessed 24/7 from a desktop computer or mobile device.

The improveit! 360 team also provides users with success coaching, training and business advice to help them achieve their goals.

"Best of all," continues Ms. Perkins, "this management software provides a 360^o overview of a roofing contractor's entire business. That allows for better decision-making based on the most current information."

She encourages professional roofing contractors who are interested in this, and the many more benefits of being an IKO ShieldPRO plus+ Contractor to visit the company website www.iko.com and download an application form.
