The hail map, for the shops fixing the cars
Paintless dent repair works the exact same swath a storm roofer works — same streets, same storm date, same three-week window before somebody else knocks it. HailMate draws NOAA hail swaths street by street, runs the canvass on top of them, and keeps every vehicle you book from the door knock through the insurance check.

Roofers canvass hail for roofs. You canvass it for cars.
The storm doesn't care which one you sell. Everything that makes a hail map useful to a roofing crew — knowing the block, the size, and the date before the competition does — works the same way for a PDR shop.
See where the hail actually landed
NOAA radar swaths drawn street by street and banded by size, so you can tell the block that took 2-inch stones from the one three streets over that got pea gravel.
Canvass it from the same map
Drop pins as your reps work the swath. Knock outcomes, callbacks, and territory coverage live on the map instead of a clipboard and a group text.
Keep every car after the knock
Each pin turns into a job record — photos, the storm date, the customer, the authorization, the claim, and the invoice — so the vehicle you booked on Tuesday is still tracked in October.
NOAA data, drawn at street level
A county-wide hail alert tells you a storm happened. It doesn't tell you which cul-de-sac to park the trailer on. HailMate's maps are built to answer that.
- NOAA MRMS radar-estimated hail size (MESH), accurate to roughly a quarter inch
- National Weather Service spotter reports for ground truth — where a person measured the stone
- POSH probability swaths, so you can see how likely severe hail was at a location at all
- Hail history back to mid-2023, refreshed daily through the season
- Rendered street by street, not as a county blob or a ZIP code
And the software that catches the job
This is the part a map subscription doesn't do. Every pin your reps drop becomes a real record, so a signed car in May is still a tracked claim in August.
- GPS canvassing with custom pin statuses and team leaderboards
- Offline mode — log knocks in a subdivision with no signal, syncs when you have bars
- Photo documentation attached to the vehicle and the storm date
- A phone number, calling, and texting for every rep, logged on the job
- E-signed authorizations on the spot, from a phone
- Insurance claim tracking from first notice through the final check
One thing to be upfront about
HailMate was built for storm-restoration roofers, and PDR shops came to us because the map is the same map. The hail data, the canvassing, the job records, the photos, the texting, the e-signed authorizations, and the insurance claim tracking all apply to your shop directly — your work runs through comprehensive claims and adjusters the same as theirs. The roof-specific pieces, like shingle line items and roofing supplement letters, you simply won't use. We'd rather say that now than have you discover it in week two.

Hail maps for PDR, answered
Almost identically. Hail falls on a street, not on a trade — the same swath that tells a roofer which houses to knock tells you which driveways had cars sitting under it. The map, the size bands, and the canvassing all work the same way. The one real difference is that vehicles move: radar tells you where the hail fell, and a car parked in that block during the storm took it, while a car that happened to be at work across town did not. Roofs never have that problem. Use the swath to pick the streets, then let the door conversation sort out where the vehicle actually was.
