For roofing companies across the country, cash flow is the heartbeat of the business. It funds your crews, keeps materials moving, and allows you to take on new opportunities without hesitation. But for many contractors using QuickBooks, payments take an average of 47 days to arrive. That means nearly two months of waiting for work you have already completed — and it is slowing your growth.
You do not have to settle for slow payments. SilverEdge helps roofing contractors cut their accounts receivable cycle from 47 days down to just 9 without disrupting your current QuickBooks process. The result is predictable cash flow, fewer headaches, and more time to focus on running your business instead of chasing checks.
The Problem With Roofing Invoicing Delays
Roofing invoicing delays are often caused by outdated payment methods, slow customer responses, and manual follow up work. Even when invoices are sent promptly through QuickBooks, customers may still mail checks, deal with insurance delays, or put off payment until it is convenient for them. Every day that passes adds to your roofing AR days, keeping money out of your account and tying up resources.
The longer this cycle drags on, the more it impacts your ability to pay crews, order materials, and schedule jobs efficiently. For contractors working within tight seasonal windows or storm repair schedules, this can mean missing prime opportunities when demand is highest.
How SilverEdge Fixes the Problem
SilverEdge is built to help businesses like yours get paid faster without forcing you to change your workflow or learn a new system. If you already use QuickBooks, we integrate directly into your existing setup so you keep invoicing exactly as you do now. The difference is what happens after you send the invoice.
With SilverEdge, every invoice is automatically set up for faster payment collection. Customers can choose from multiple payment options such as ACH, debit, credit cards, or QR code payments so they can pay instantly from their phone or computer. This convenience means payments come in days instead of weeks.
Our system also automates deposits so funds appear in your account sooner. There is no extra data entry, no switching between platforms, and no waiting for paper checks to clear. You keep working the way you do now — only your money arrives faster.
More Ways to Pay More Ways to Save
One of the biggest advantages SilverEdge offers roofing companies is flexibility. We give your customers the choice to pay however they prefer, which shortens the payment cycle. At the same time, our programs can eliminate your card processing costs through compliant, industry-approved programs, allowing you to keep 100 percent of what you earn.
That combination of speed and savings strengthens your cash flow while protecting your margins — a win for any contractor.
Turn 47 Days Into 9
Reducing your roofing AR days from 47 to 9 changes everything. It means covering payroll without stress, securing materials faster, and saying yes to more projects. It frees you from chasing down late payments so you can focus on building your reputation rather than your receivables list.
SilverEdge makes that possible with a simple integration that keeps your QuickBooks process intact while removing the roadblocks that slow down payments. If you are ready to stop waiting nearly two months for your money and start collecting in just over a week, SilverEdge can make it happen while keeping your workflow exactly the same.
