A JobNimbus alternative for contractors whose jobs run longer than a roof.
JobNimbus is built for roofing and exterior sales: boards for every lead, measurements from EagleView and HOVER, and material orders sent to the supplier. Groundflag is built for jobs that run weeks or months: a schedule with dependencies, the crew in the field, change orders and what the job really costs.
Where JobNimbus is strong
JobNimbus puts every lead and job on boards with custom workflows and automations, orders roof measurements from EagleView and HOVER, turns them into estimates, and sends material orders straight to Beacon PRO+, Roof Hub by SRS or a local supply house. It also offers homeowner financing through Wisetack, text to pay, and a shared texting inbox. If you sell roofs and exteriors at volume, those are real strengths.
Where Groundflag goes further
A schedule that moves.
A Gantt with task dependencies: move one task and the ones after it follow.
The job money, by cost code.
Budget, committed and actual by cost code, purchase orders and subcontracts, change orders the client signs in the portal, and invoices paid by card or ACH.
A crew that speaks Spanish.
Every screen works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, per user, and the foreman dictates the daily log in any of the three; Groundflag drafts it for review and signature.
Time from the field.
The crew clocks in on the phone, and the PM approves the timesheets.
The price on the page.
Every plan is on our pricing page, every user included and month to month. We could not reach a JobNimbus price list to compare against, so ask JobNimbus for a quote for your team size.
Know what is not there yet
Groundflag does not order roof measurements from EagleView or HOVER yet, does not send material orders to a supplier yet, and has no homeowner financing. Purchase orders go to your vendor by e-mail. On iPhone, Groundflag runs as a web app for now; the native app is on Android. If most of your work is roof replacements sold door to door, JobNimbus covers more of that today.

Questions
Can I move from JobNimbus to Groundflag?
Yes. Add your clients and open jobs, and send estimates from Groundflag; the 30-day trial needs no card.
Is Groundflag a fit for a roofing company?
It fits a roofer who also runs remodels, additions or commercial jobs that need a schedule, change orders and job costs. If your business is mostly insurance and retail roof replacements, JobNimbus has more of that sales flow today.
