Restoration

Mitigate losses.
Not margin.

Water, fire, mold, bio, and contents — one platform with Xactimate integration, IICRC-compliant drying logs, TPA program SLAs, and native contents chain of custody. Built for the way insurance work actually flows, not generic field service bolted on.

The five things every shop wastes time on

Two systems for one job

DASH or Chronicle for ops, Xactimate for estimating, Encircle for photos, a spreadsheet for contents. Your techs hate you. So do you.

Supplements leave money on the table

Missed line items, weak photo evidence, no tracker. Approved supplements are pure margin — and the industry average is to chase half of them.

SLA clocks you can’t see

State Farm dropped you from the program because you missed 4-hour on-site on three water-mit jobs and nobody noticed. Contract. Connection. Counts. Minutes.

Drying logs on paper and photos on a phone

Readings hand-written, equipment placement photos on three different phones, no dry certification artifact that an auditor can read in under ten minutes.

Contents is a black box

A bin of someone’s life is at a warehouse somewhere. Homeowner asks where their photo albums are. You have to call four people.

The franchisor has no visibility

Corporate can’t see cycle time, supplement approval rate, or SLA compliance across locations without asking each owner to submit a spreadsheet. And they still don’t trust the numbers.

Nuance is a feature, not noise

Category 1/2/3. GPP and dry standard. Program pricing caps. Chain of custody. The details that separate a profitable restoration shop from one that’s running on hope.

Xactimate ESX Import

Parse .esx files — line items preserved with original codes, claim metadata, rooms, photos, and a fidelity report on every upload. Raw file preserved in audit storage. Symbility .fml through the same pipe.

IICRC Drying Logs

Daily psychrometric readings per zone, drying goals from unaffected reference, 24-hour stability check before dry cert, per-material trend charts. S500 gates enforced at phase transitions.

TPA Program SLAs

13 carrier programs pre-configured. Contact, on-site, scope, and final-invoice clocks compute from program rules. Breach alerts at 80%. State Farm PSP water-mit 1hr / 4hr baked in.

Contents Chain of Custody

Barcode or QR per item, photos per stage, homeowner disposal auth as a signed event, Xactimate cleaning-method coding, append-only audit log. Beats ContentsTrack on mobile.

Supplement Workflow

Draft line items with photo evidence bundles, track approval status, pre-seeded commonly-missed checklist (containment, antimicrobial, code upgrades, detach-and-reset, monitoring labor).

Multi-Loss Support

Water (Cat 1/2/3, Class 1-4), fire (S700 RWP + HVAC assessment), mold (S520 IEP + PRV + clearance), bio-trauma (S540 BBP + chain of custody), contents-only, reconstruction. One tenant, all loss types.

Franchisor Rollup

Parent/child tenant hierarchy with corporate dashboards. Cycle time, SLA compliance %, supplement approval rate, cert roster health — across every franchise location.

24/7 Intake + On-Call

On-call rotation calendar by skill. SMS + voice escalation ladder. Call tracking with revenue attribution. Answering-service webhook integrations for AnswerForce, Rosie, Ambs.

Real-Time Royalty Ledger

Franchise royalties and tech fees computed per job, not month-end. Franchisee sees their running MTD. Corporate reconciles against QuickBooks automatically.

IICRC Cert Roster

WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT, Trauma, OSHA BBP, HAZWOPER-40, Lead RRP — tracked with expiration alerts. Dispatch blocks assignments when a tech’s required cert has lapsed.

Equipment Ledger

Air movers, dehus, AFDs, hydroxyls — placement and retrieval events sourced to individual devices. Billing days derived. Photos required at every event. Utilization analytics.

Open API + Webhooks

Documented REST endpoints from day one. No partner program required for basic integration. A direct differentiator vs DASH’s closed API.

From FNOL to depreciation recovery in one record

1

Intake

Claim lands — carrier, TPA program, adjuster, policyholder, cause of loss, category. SLA clocks start automatically. On-call tech paged.

2

Mitigate

Equipment placed with photos. Daily psychrometric readings. Drying goals computed. Dry-cert panel unlocks when materials hit goal + stabilize.

3

Close the Loop

Scope in Xactimate → upload the .esx back. Supplement with photo evidence. Invoice on COC. Track ACV and depreciation recovery to settle.

Built for the way restoration actually works

Independent restoration shops

Water, fire, mold, bio, contents under one tenant. No per-user pricing. No $2,000 onboarding fee. No forced add-ons for photos, portal, or SMS.

Restoration franchises

Corporate rollup, enforced templates, real-time royalty ledger, cross-franchisee lead routing, exit-pack automation for terminations. Pitched at Voda, Rainbow, Paul Davis, 911, PuroClean.

TPA program contractors

Contractor Connection, Alacrity, Sedgwick, CodeBlue, Innovation Group. Per-program SLA tracking, qualification gating, pricing-cap enforcement, and supplement workflow on program jobs.

Commercial / large-loss restoration

T&M projects alongside program work. Multi-week reconstruction phases. S520 mold with IEP clearance. CDS large-loss drying. Separate from residential cleanup when you need it, unified when you don’t.

What makes us different

DASH, Chronicle, Albi, Encircle, Restoration Manager — the incumbents each own a slice. We own the whole loop in one modern platform.

Frequently asked questions

Does RouteForge integrate with Xactimate and XactAnalysis?

Yes. Upload an Xactimate .esx file and we parse line items, claim metadata, affected rooms, and photos — with a fidelity report on every import. The raw .esx is preserved as the audit artifact. XactAnalysis assignment sync (receive carrier assignments, push status events) is on the roadmap as a Verisk partner-ecosystem integration and runs parallel to the file-based workflow you can use today.

What about Symbility / Cotality carriers?

Symbility .fml files import through the same ClaimsAdapter abstraction as Xactimate .esx. Shops that work multi-carrier (Paul Davis, Alacrity, Sedgwick) get one job record instead of two. Carriers and TPAs that route through either network are supported as first-class options, not an afterthought.

Does it support IICRC S500 drying log compliance?

Yes. Daily psychrometric readings (temp, RH, GPP, dew point, surface temp, material MC) are captured per zone — outside, unaffected, affected, dehu inlet, dehu outlet, and material points. Drying goals are computed from unaffected reference readings with EMC-based material tolerance. The dry-certification panel checks every monitored material against goal + 24-hour stability before you can close out mitigation. S520 mold, S540 bio, and S700 fire standards have their own gate tracking.

How does TPA program SLA tracking work?

Every claim is scoped to a carrier program (Contractor Connection, State Farm PSP, USAA PDRP, Allstate QRP, Liberty Mutual PCN, Alacrity, Sedgwick, and more — 13 programs seeded by default). Contact / on-site / scope / final-invoice deadlines compute automatically from the program rules. Breach alerts fire at 80% of each clock. State Farm water-mit gets the correct 1-hour contact / 4-hour on-site window without any configuration.

Does it handle contents pack-out and chain of custody?

Yes, natively — not a bolt-on. Every inventory item has a tag code, photos per stage (on-site, packed, cleaned, returned), condition assessment, Xactimate cleaning-method code, and an append-only chain-of-custody log. Homeowner disposal authorization is captured as a first-class signed event before anything non-salvageable is disposed.

Is it franchise-ready?

The platform ships with parent/child tenant hierarchy, corporate rollup dashboards, and per-tenant feature policy. Future releases add settings policy (locked / default-override / min-max bounded), a real-time royalty ledger per job, and one-click franchisee exit-pack automation — the things franchisors do with lawyers and spreadsheets today. Voda, Rainbow, Paul Davis, and similar networks are our design target.

Can supplements be drafted and submitted from the platform?

Yes. Every claim has a supplements tab — draft line items with photo evidence bundles attached per line, track status (drafting / submitted / in review / partial approved / approved / denied / appealing), and keep a history with denial reasons. A commonly-missed checklist (containment, antimicrobial, code upgrades, detach-and-reset, monitoring labor, HEPA days) is pre-seeded so nothing gets left on the table.

What certifications does it track for techs?

IICRC WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT, OSR, RRT, Trauma (S540), HST, and CDS, plus OSHA BBP, HAZWOPER-40, OSHA-10, and EPA Lead RRP — with expiration dates, automatic warnings at 90/60/30 days, and dispatch gating so techs without current required certs can’t be assigned to jobs that need them.

Is there a 24/7 intake workflow?

Yes. An on-call rotation calendar routes after-hours calls by skill (water / fire / bio / contents) with an SMS-and-voice escalation ladder. Call Tracking ties inbound calls to claims and revenue for marketing attribution on direct-to-consumer work.

How long does implementation take for a restoration shop?

The platform is config-driven, so a single-location shop can be live in days — import customers via CSV, configure program memberships, and start taking calls. Franchise rollouts with corporate-enforced templates and cross-franchisee lead routing take longer; we scope those individually.

Ready to ditch the stitched-together stack?

Xactimate integration, IICRC drying logs, contents chain of custody, TPA SLAs, and franchise rollup — in a single platform. Undercut DASH by 50%+ on the plan that fits.
