Up Your Restoration Game In 2022

restoration company crmAs a restoration expert, your clients reach out to you on some of the worst days of their life. And because you’ve built a business with well trained technicians, quality commercial equipment and good business practices, your reputation has grown. Clients trust you to repair and restore their homes, businesses, and lives.  

And the future looks promising for disaster services. In the last couple of years, several factors have spurred the demand for industry services: climate change, more people working from home, an aging inventory of homes. Post Katrina, the restoration industry became more professional, organized and ready to respond to increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters. 

Currently, the restoration industry is worth about $210 billion and it looks to grow even more in the years ahead. Three out of five contractors predict a 27% increase in restoration and remediation work this year. But you must have a solid plan moving forward to be profitable and successful. 

Create An Effective CRM System For Your Restoration Company

Current Industry Challenges

Current surveys of managers in the trades reveal  top concerns: skilled labor shortages, increased supply costs, managing COVID, fear of inflation’s effect on capital acquisition. Good decisions you make now will help you grow and maintain your edge. In the years to come many predict the increased use of AI (artificial intelligence) in estimating, continued consolidation, and challenges in finding (and training) skilled workers.

Improve Your Operation With Precise Vehicle Management

restoration management softwareIn the restoration industry, one of your biggest investments is your fleet of vehicles. They are a necessity and every business owner wants to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape for as long as possible, but that requires maintenance. And on top of everything else that business owners have to manage, managing the maintenance and repairs of your vehicles is an added burden that you probably don’t have time for.

iRestore knows how much it takes to run a restoration company and what restoration business owners need to organize and manage their businesses the best way. That’s why we included the best vehicle module system within our restoration management software. With this module, business owners can track everything from assigning vehicles out, tracking equipment in your vehicles, maintenance, repairs, registration, insurance, and more.

How Vehicle Management Can Help Your Restoration Operation

Maintenance And Repairs

The maintenance and repairs are only one part of your vehicle management operations. Of course, you need to track when to get routine maintenance, how much has been spent on repairs, etc. But you also need to track operational costs associated with the vehicles. Everything within the system is designed to help you track the information that you need to run your business better.

Vehicle-Related Occurrences

Scratches, accidents, and other incidents your vehicle is involved in can be kept inside the notes feature of the vehicle module. If you have several of the same vehicles, this system can help you track which vehicle was involved in which incident so that you have it when you need it.

Data

All of the important information that you need is kept in one spot. Inspections, renewals, mileage, VIN, purchase date, vehicle make and model, and much more. No more searching through filing cabinets and jockey boxes trying to find and sort information. Your data can be easily tracked with our vehicle management module in one simple place that is easy to use.

Job Management

When your vehicles are assigned out on a job, you need to know when that vehicle will be available for the next job. Our restoration management software easily tracks where your vehicles are, who they are assigned out to, and when they are expected to return. All of this information can help you schedule future jobs with more accuracy so that your clients get transparent information and learn that they can trust you.

Reduce Mistakes And Problems

Your business can decrease mistakes and problems by tracking your vehicle information. When you can find all of the information that you need in one spot that is clear, organized, and precise, your business will run much more efficiently with reduced errors and clearer communication with your clients, contractors, agents, and adjustors. Imagine what your company will look like to those people when they see your efficiency level!

Vehicle management is only one portion of the incredible restoration management software from iRestore. We have included many different features that allow restoration business owners to track HR information, Tools and Equipment, Business Relationships, and Individual Jobs. Don’t let your company suffer from disorganization, chaos, and confusion. Contact iRestore today to learn more about our restoration management software and gain control of your business now.

Restoration Company CRM Must Have’s

restoration company crmRestoration business owners know that a good CRM is key to managing relationships with the different people you work with whether that is customers, insurance agents, adjustors, independent contractors, or anyone else that is important in managing a job.

Relationship management is difficult and when you are working on multiple jobs, you need a way to keep the information straight for each client. But, there are a few different features that your CRM should have to help you build your reputation as an organized restoration company that gets the job done with little to no delay or mistakes.

At iRestore, our goal with our restoration company CRM was to give restoration business owners exactly what they need to manage multiple jobs securely and easily. Because of the experience our own people have in the restoration industry, we had inside experience when we put this CRM together.

Key Elements Of A High-Functioning Restoration Company CRM

  1. Organization – A CRM is worthless if it cannot organize information the right way. You need to be able to manage jobs, store notes, and communication with different people working on a job. You also have to manage your employee workload, and your equipment to make sure you have enough manpower and the right equipment to get the job going and keep it going without delays. An error here means telling the client (and possibly the insurance agent), that you have to delay the start date. Not fun!
  2. Time – Time is always a factor in restoration jobs. You have emergency disasters that you need to respond to fast. To do that, our CRM includes a unique routing system so that you can effectively map out stops during your workday.
  3. Avoid Issues – CRM’s shouldn’t just manage your information, but help you manage them better. That’s why iRestore’s CRM synchronizes all contact information within specific projects. Making duplication of contacts and contact notes a thing of the past.
  4. Communication – Don’t worry any longer about having to write down phone numbers and emails. With this CRM, you have the ability to click a button and call or email whoever you need to. Save time and curb procrastination by making communication so much easier!
  5. Accessibility – One problem many restoration companies run into with different CRM’s is with accessibility. Your information doesn’t have to wait till the end of the day to be entered into the contact system. You don’t have to worry about forgetting to note information because can’t access the system till the end of the day. This platform can be used on computers, iPads, and on your phone. Easy access = better time management and efficiency….which ultimately leads to fewer errors and mistakes.
