The Uber of Roofers
Roofs are MSQ’s domain. They invest in companies that work on, for or on roofs. These companies operate independently, while MSQ facilitates in the background in the field of recruitment, joint procurement, financing, ICT and back office activities. This benefits the decisiveness and efficiency of these companies.
The transition
When it comes to the company of the future - the digital platform - there is a 'winner takes it all mentality'. As a rule, companies that transform into platforms at an early stage are also more successful. With that in mind, MSQ decided to enter into a strategic partnership with Second Company to build the digital roofing company of the future. And we are quite proud of that.
The approach of Second Company
With hundreds of vans on the road at all times of the day and roofers maintaining hundreds of thousands of miles of roofs, digital transformation is a necessary strategic move for MSQ. Second Company made it possible for MSQ to deploy a suggestion engine for time tracking. This enables the roofers to keep their full attention on their work, while saving countless hours in administration and the necessary corrections.
