Polino points out that none of these developments were available several years ago. More sophisticated, software-based technology is also progressing in the construction trades, Polino notes. “Drone footage is huge for us especially if we don’t feel safe going up on a roof.” “We can get a licensed drone pilot out there to draw on the property and access to see what we are working with and it is great for when we are producing jobs because we can use drone footage to create a great video of our guys working that showcases everything we do,” Polino adds. The company’s CRM and office software technology is also a lifesaver, according to Polino. “Our CRM is state-of-the-art.”
