Why Restoration Companies Lose $18K Jobs
First-mover industry. The company that answers gets the job. Period.
Answering Services Lose Jobs
They take a message. That 15-20 min delay costs you the job every time.
3AM Emergency Gap
Disasters don't wait. Your competitor answers at 3AM. You return voicemails at 8AM.
No Damage Triage
Cat 1, 2, and 3 need different responses. Generic services can't differentiate.
Manual Data Re-Entry
Staff re-enters from voicemail notes into DASH/Xactimate. 15-30 min per job, error-prone.
