Data, trends and peak performance

By Jenny Yu.  

JobNimbus shares how their team is using data to anticipate trends and empower roofing contractors. 

At the 2026 International Roofing Expo, Lauren White from The Coffee Shops™ had a chance to chat with Mitch Woodward of JobNimbus at the company’s booth. The two discussed how the CRM and project management software is spearheading trends in 2026.  

“We just launched our new AI, which is called Scout,” Mitch shared. “I look at AI like the next industrial revolution in the way that it's changing the world.” With this new feature, contractors can prompt Scout to create tasks, add jobs and advise on specific projects, all directly in the JobNimbus app. With the vast amount of data that JobNimbus houses, the AI capabilities are limitless.  

“Every year, we have more data than any software for roofers in the world,” Mitch stated. This not only helps with AI functions but also in tracking and sharing industry trends through JobNimbus’ annual Peak Performance report. He shared, “It’s 400 pages worth of data on everything from lead generation to project management to what’s changing in the industry.” 

Mitch noted two of the biggest changes that were included in the most recent edition of Peak Performance: workforce demographics and private equity involvement. 

“The industry is getting younger,” Mitch declared, speaking to the former. “Now, 70% of the industry is under the age of 45 — people who grow up with computers, software and technology, so they're adapting a lot quicker.” 

The second major development is the increase in private equity activity throughout the trades. “Whether you want to be acquired, compete or keep your company, you're going to have to learn how private equity is figuring out margins and efficiency,” Mitch explained. 

With so much rapid change at play, JobNimbus continues to be at the forefront of innovation, fulfilling their mission to make contractors the heroes of their communities.
