Ask Scout anything…
Scout over text · Pro

A few texts. The whole sale.

From permit pulled to deal closed, Scout runs the loop over text. You stay in the truck.

01 · The morning brief

Texts you the day's hot leads at 7:30 AM.

Every morning before you're on site, Scout has already read the day's permits and ranked the top three for you. One text. And on a slow day it says so instead of padding the list.

  • Daily brief at 7:30 AM, your timezone
  • Top 3 leads, ranked, with the reasons
  • Slow days flagged honestly

Mon · Morning brief

Message
02 · The pitch

Writes the pitch. You hit send.

Scout writes the text and the email in your voice, with the details that matter. Tap once and your phone opens with the message ready, addressed to the builder who pulled the permit.

  • Text and email versions, both in your voice
  • One tap to send from your own phone
  • TCPA and CASL compliant by design

Hi, Marco with Apex Framing. Saw the permit on 2847 Pinewood. We've framed 6 builds in Coquitlam this year and could fit your timeline. Open to a quick call this week?
Message
03 · The follow-through

Tracks every lead. Learns from every win.

Scout books the call on your calendar, preps you before it, and checks in after. Tell it you won and your pipeline updates itself. It also learns which jobs you win, so the next brief is sharper.

  • Books calls on your calendar, with a heads-up before
  • “Won it” moves the card on your pipeline
  • Every win sharpens your scoring

How'd the Pinewood call go?
won it. signing tomorrow.
Nice. That's two this month with Mock Westcoast. Putting them at the top of your watchlist.
Message
Talk to it like a person

Send it anything.

Scout isn't a form to fill out. Snap the site, talk while you drive, forward the quote. It reads all of it and does something useful with it.

Photos
Send a site photo and Scout knows what stage the build is at. Send a business card and it saves the contact. Send a competitor's quote and it helps you beat it.
Voice notes
Driving between sites? Hold the mic and talk. “Quoted the Euston job at 48K, follow up Friday.” Scout hears it, logs it, sets the reminder.
Quotes & files
PDFs, spreadsheets, contracts. Scout reads them, ties them to the right job, and flags anything worth a second look.
“what's hot today?”“research this builder”“draft a pitch for the Pinewood job”“book the call for Tuesday at 2”“won it, signing tomorrow”“remind me Friday about the Como quote”“who do I know pulling permits right now?”
Say it like you'd say it to a person. That's the whole trick.
In the app

More than a chatbot. It does the work.

Natural-language permit search
Ask "show me hot roofing leads in Burnaby from the past month". Scout queries the full permit database and returns a scored, filterable list.
Live web research
Scout uses web search on most non-trivial questions: builder background, project news, regulatory changes, market context. Always cites the source URL.
Contact discovery
Finds phone and email on the builder's own website first, then LinkedIn and trade directories. HIGH-confidence contacts are auto-saved to the builder profile.
Outreach email drafting
First-contact, follow-up, quote follow-up, walk-away. Scout writes the email for the specific builder and project, in your voice. Copy or adjust.
Pipeline management
"Move that lead to Quoted and add a note that we sent the bid." Scout updates the stage, logs the note, and flags it for follow-up at the right time.
Deep Dive dossiers
One command launches a full research workup: GC background, owner info, verified contacts, project history, and a personalized first-contact email draft.
01 · Deep Dive

One command. Full dossier.

"Deep Dive on this lead" triggers a research chain: Scout web-searches the GC and owner, finds verified contacts from their own website, pulls project history, cross-references your pipeline for lookalike wins, and drafts a personalized first-contact email, all in under a minute.

  • GC background: website, LinkedIn, news, completed-project gallery
  • Owner background and any developer affiliations
  • Verified contacts: phone and email from primary sources
  • Project context: planning-board approvals, marketing sites, news
  • Personalized first-contact email draft based on your trade

Subject:Roofing for 1420 Burrard: catching you at the right time?
Hi David,

Noticed the building permit for 1420 Burrard was filed last month. With the framing phase wrapping up, I wanted to reach out about the roofing scope before the sub list closes.

We just wrapped a mixed-use roof in Burnaby for Foothills that came in on time and under budget. Happy to send the specs if it's useful.

Worth a 10-minute call this week?
