One of the best things about starting a new year is the opportunity to start fresh and overcome past mistakes. We look back fondly on our successes over the course of the previous months, while we are also acutely aware of areas that need improvement. With the new year comes a renewed chance to improve – improve ourselves, improve our relationships, and improve our business. For restoration job management, it’s an opportunity to streamline our operations and scale our business over the next 12 months.
In 2020, 41% of Americans interviewed stated that a new years’ resolution included improved productivity and organization goals. Applied to the restoration industry, that’s nearly 1 out of 2 contractors seeking improved organization for their business!

Through organized restoration job management, many companies enjoy improved office and field documentation, increased revenue through improved job margins, more meaningful relationships with clients and business colleagues, more consistent and reliable results on every job, and more.

Restoration job management software is designed to help your business build efficiencies around organization. Consider the following 3 ways that your restoration job management solution can help your business become more organized and efficient.
1. Effective Field Documentation

Crews and technicians have easy access to their daily schedule, they can effortlessly track time between jobs with a single touch, and have full control over job documentation, such as adding notes, taking photos on the jobsite, capturing a customer’s signature on a work authorization form, completing a jobsite checklist, and more – all within a single app.
Project managers can review job files, manage their crews and review job financials without pulling out a laptop, while business development reps can schedule sales activities, communicate with key contacts, and document marketing spend for more effectively tracking ROI on every relationship.
When a mobile app is designed appropriately for use in the field – as it should be – your team is better prepared to complete the work expected of them through organized processes without added frustration.
