Free Download: The Restoration Tech Stack Playbook — How Top Companies Are Cutting $100k/yr in Software Costs

We talk to restoration contractors every week. The conversation almost always starts the same way.

"We have a CRM. We have a scheduling tool. We have an estimating platform. We have a scanning app. We have a document management system. We have an e-signature tool. We have an analytics dashboard. We have a messaging app. We have an automation tool. And none of them talk to each other."

Sound familiar? If you are running a restoration company in 2026, you are probably paying for somewhere between 10 and 15 separate software subscriptions just to keep your operation running. And you are probably spending more time managing those tools than actually managing your business.

That is why we created the Restoration Tech Stack Playbook.

What Is the Playbook?

The Restoration Tech Stack Playbook is a comprehensive, free guide designed specifically for restoration company owners and operators. It is not a sales pitch disguised as a whitepaper. It is a practical resource that walks you through the real cost of software fragmentation, the modules every restoration company actually needs, and a step-by-step framework for evaluating whether your current stack is helping you grow or holding you back.

What You Will Learn Inside

The playbook covers four core areas that we have seen matter most to restoration companies making technology decisions.

The True Cost of a Fragmented Stack

Most restoration companies know they are spending too much on software, but very few have calculated the actual number. The playbook breaks down the direct subscription costs, the hidden costs of data re-entry and context switching, the revenue lost from slow response times, and the operational drag that comes from training your team on a dozen different platforms. For the average mid-size restoration company, we consistently see total software costs exceeding $100,000 per year when you account for everything.

The 20 Modules Every Restoration Company Needs

We spent two years working with restoration contractors to identify every capability a modern restoration operation requires. The playbook maps out all 20 modules — from CRM and scheduling to LiDAR scanning, AI estimating, carrier negotiations, contents management, e-signatures, fleet tracking, employee rewards, and more — and explains why each one matters. More importantly, it shows how these modules need to work together as a unified system rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Real Results from Real Companies

The playbook includes data from our alpha testing partners who have already made the switch to a consolidated platform. These are real restoration companies running real jobs, and the results speak for themselves. We are seeing partners save over 12 hours per week in administrative time, increase their claim recovery rates through AI-powered negotiations, and eliminate the constant friction of switching between applications throughout the day.

A Migration Checklist You Can Use Today

Whether you decide to evaluate riivet or any other platform, the playbook includes a practical migration checklist that helps you audit your current stack, calculate your true software costs, identify which tools can be consolidated, and plan a transition that does not disrupt your active projects. This is the same framework we use when onboarding new partners, and it works regardless of which direction you choose to go.

Why We Made It Free

We believe that every restoration company deserves to understand what modern technology can do for their business, regardless of whether they end up choosing riivet. The industry has been underserved by software vendors who sell narrow solutions and leave contractors to figure out how to stitch everything together on their own. This playbook is our way of giving back to the industry that we are building for.

If the playbook helps you make a better technology decision for your company, that is a win for everyone. And if it leads you to take a closer look at riivet, we are happy to walk you through a personalized demo anytime.
