Can Someone Write Supplements Inside My AccuLynx?

The short answer: yes. And we're likely the only supplement company in the country doing it this way.

If you're running your roofing company inside AccuLynx — custom templates, your own pricing defaults, your team's workflow — you already know the problem with most supplement companies. They ask you to send files. They come back with PDFs that don't match your format. Your team spends hours re-entering data. The whole thing disrupts your system instead of enhancing it.

How AccuLynx Supplement Writing Actually Works

At The Estimate Company, we work directly inside your AccuLynx account. Not as consultants who review and return — as users who execute inside your existing system. You add us as a user (or share credentials), assign us a job, and we write the supplement in your AccuLynx file using your company's own estimate templates.

When we're done, the estimate is in AccuLynx. In your format. In the right job file. Nothing to import, nothing to reconcile. Your project manager opens AccuLynx and everything is exactly where it should be.

We Also Handle Retail Estimates in AccuLynx

This isn't just for insurance supplement work. For contractors who use AccuLynx for retail estimating too — cash-pay jobs, salesman quotes, homeowner presentations — we build those estimates the same way. Inside your account, using your templates, priced at your rates.

This is exactly how we currently work with ProBuilt Hawaii, one of the largest residential roofing companies in the state. We handle every supplement AND every salesman retail estimate inside their AccuLynx account using ProBuilt's own custom templates. Their team assigns jobs, we execute, and everything lives in their system.

What About Xactimate?

If you use Xactimate (or XM8, the cloud version) alongside AccuLynx — or exclusively — we work in that platform too. The principle is the same: we work inside whatever system your company uses, not the other way around. You shouldn't have to adapt your workflow to fit your supplement company.

Who This Makes Sense For

This workflow is ideal for larger roofing companies who've invested in building their CRM out. If you have custom line items, proprietary estimate templates, and a trained team that depends on consistency across all jobs — you don't want a supplement vendor who ignores all of that.

It also works for smaller companies who want supplements to feel like an internal operation, not an outsourced function. When supplements come back inside your own system in your own format, it's hard to tell from the outside that we weren't already on your payroll.

Does It Cost More?

No. The AccuLynx workflow doesn't carry a premium. Our pricing is the same whether we work inside your CRM or deliver a standalone Xactimate file. Working in AccuLynx is just how we prefer to operate — it's better for contractors and better for us.
