Best software for restoration companies
Restoration jobs need more than scheduling: moisture logs, photo documentation, insurance-ready reports and drying records. General FSM tools rarely cover that, so most restoration companies use one of these.
Albi
Restoration-specific job management and CRM covering jobs, documents, time tracking and billing.
Encircle
Field documentation for restoration and insurance claims: photos, moisture readings, floor plans and contents.
DASH
Restoration job management from Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) Next Gear, used by many larger restoration contractors.

Mid-price pick: Encircle Field Documentation. It’s the only one of the three with published prices, and it covers photos, drying logs and moisture maps. Encircle prices go up with the number of jobs you run a year, and above 600 jobs it quotes custom pricing.
How they fit together
Many shops pair a job management system (Albi or DASH) with a documentation tool (Encircle). Ask each vendor which integrations they support today.

FAQ
Can I use Jobber for restoration?
For simple jobs, maybe, but it lacks restoration-specific drying logs and insurance documentation.
Which one do adjusters prefer?
It varies by carrier and program. Ask your carrier partners what reports they accept.
