5 Reasons Why You Need Restoration Project Management Software

restoration project management software, restoration management softwareWhen you own a business, particularly a restoration company, there are a lot of different elements that you have to keep an eye on to make sure your business is operating smoothly and legally.

  • Making sure licenses stay up to date.
  • Keeping up on certifications and training.
  • Vehicle maintenance, repairs, and registration.
  • Keeping track of equipment and tools.

While business owners often hire a couple of people to help manage some of these key elements, it can still be extremely difficult for anyone in the company to track down information quickly. That is why restoration project management software has become such an inclusive part of restoration business operations.

Five Reasons Why Restoration Project Management Software Isn’t A Choice, But A Necessity

  1. Certifications, insurance renewals, vehicle registrations, employee background checks…..documents upon documents upon documents. You may have an office manager keeping track of the background checks while maybe a project manager is keeping track of vehicle registrations or vehicle maintenance. But do you know where to find all of these documents at the drop of a hat? With restoration management software, you have all of the information you need, stored in one spot for easy access.
  2. Scheduling is already tough when you have employees call out sick, vehicles break down, and equipment suddenly stops working. These are normal, everyday occurrences in most companies. But when you don’t have enough equipment or technicians are being booked for more jobs than they have time for – there’s a bigger problem. Your reputation is at stake. With restoration project management software, you can keep track of project timelines, where equipment is and where techs are scheduled so that you don’t have to keep calling waiting customers to push back their projects.
  3. To be the best in the business, you need to be the best in the business. With the right tools, like restoration project management software, you have information at your fingertips wherever you go. Provide up-to-date information to clients, agents, and adjusters at any moment with software that you can access on your phone, iPad, and computer.
  4. Do you ever feel like time is being wasted and money is being lost by employees trying to find information or documents, or not having the right information from the start? You can save time and money by utilizing easy-to-use software that helps improve internal communication, external communication, and store photos and documents for safekeeping. Nobody has to spend time trying to find information because it’s all stored in one centralized location that everybody can access.
  5. Employees are often guilty of not providing accurate notes or recording information because they are out in the field when they get the information and forget about it when they get back to the office. Restoration project management software can travel with your employees so that they can record the information needed on the spot. This can help reduce errors, improve internal communication, and allow more successful completion of a project with happier clients, agents, and adjusters.

A Fresh Look at Online Training

restoration business development, restoration business management, continuing educationOnline training, e-learning, virtual classrooms, and other terms are becoming a new norm. In the landscape of education, there are limitless resources that are accessible to us and applicable to a variety of disciplines from technical to soft skills. Although there is a new light, none of this is new. As we operate and adjust to a world stricken by the challenges and changes brought on by the pandemic, in last month’s restoring success, A Cultural Shift, we considered some adjustments and speculate on what a new post pandemic world may look like. As an industry, we can embrace, adjust, and utilize training opportunities in new ways.

Children, college students, and adult learners have been nimble; educators have rose to the challenge to help others learn in new and innovative ways. For the first time, the IICRC has approved certain courses and certifications to be offered online via live streaming. The transfer of knowledge and experience to those that serve our industry’s training needs must rise and challenge the status quo in delivering education. Companies and the individuals can benefit from the value that training and education can bring to careers and company results. As with most things, there is not a crystal ball about the training landscape that may exist at any point in the future. However, we can easily speculate by understanding of ripple effect of the pandemic both culturally and economically. We can also look at trends, other industries, the rapidly evolving learning technology and the understanding of distance learning. As individuals and organizations, we can anticipate, seek opportunities, and shift so that we may best embrace the potential benefits of expanded online and virtual training opportunities.

All good and valuable things require effort and nurturing. Training is a tool and an investment that can be utilized to grow, develop and create opportunity. It does not necessarily define success but can help lead us to it. It has been a long-time hurdle to on-board those new to our industry and organizations in a way that is engaging, efficient and productive. Benefiting from on-line training opportunities starts with choosing engaging and valuable courses that meet your learning and possibly credentialing objectives. As well, our organizations’ cultures and individual’s desires for growth and self-development must be fostered to support training initiatives.

The following is a list of a few considerations in embracing on-line training for your Restoring Success:

    • Accessibility: We can access subject matter, skill training and development, educators and expertise, anywhere in the world at any time.

    • Cost Savings: Some programs may present the opportunity to save.
  • Choosing Training Programs: Use the proper due diligence and thoughtfulness in selecting courses and programs. Consider specifically what you are looking for from your educational choices:
    • Gain insight and understanding to a discipline
    • Gain or develop a certain skill or competency (technical, soft, other)
    • Consider the level: Fundamental, Intermediate, Advanced, etc.
    • Practical Application
    • Certification/Credential/Documentation of Competency
  • Company Tips: As an organization, training and career development can be proactively managed, celebrated and be a part of the culture.
    • Be Deliberate: In the New Tech Under Your Wing, there are a variety of tips to help incorporate training and learning in your day to day operations. One of the most important that applies to in-person or on-line is to encourage field training and mentoring when applicable.
