The top 5 restoration CRMs.
We respect what these platforms built. But the industry has outgrown them. Here's how riivet compares to each one.
The legacy market leader in restoration job management. Widely adopted but aging, with a dated interface and limited AI capabilities. Requires numerous third-party integrations to cover the full workflow.
Everything DASH does, plus LiDAR scanning, AI negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, employee rewards, fleet management, automations, e-signatures, BOS, AI training, and more. All in one platform, one login, one bill.
Full comparisonA newer entrant focused on modernizing restoration project management. Better UI than legacy tools, but still limited in scope. It lacks scanning, estimating, negotiations, contents, marketing, and most of the features riivet includes natively.
Everything Albi does, plus LiDAR scanning, AI negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, employee rewards, fleet management, automations, e-signatures, BOS, AI training, and more. All in one platform, one login, one bill.
Full comparisonA restoration-specific CRM focused on project management and job costing. Solid for basic job tracking but requires significant third-party tooling to handle scanning, estimating, negotiations, and team communication.
Everything Xcelerate does, plus LiDAR scanning, AI negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, employee rewards, fleet management, automations, e-signatures, BOS, AI training, and more. All in one platform, one login, one bill.
Full comparisonOne of the original restoration management platforms with deep roots in the industry. Feature-rich for its era but built on older technology. Steep learning curve and limited modern capabilities like AI, scanning, or real-time collaboration.
Everything PSA does, plus LiDAR scanning, AI negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, employee rewards, fleet management, automations, e-signatures, BOS, AI training, and more. All in one platform, one login, one bill.
Full comparisonPrimarily a roofing and home-exterior CRM with a restoration add-on. Lacks deep insurance restoration workflows like adjuster negotiations, IICRC scopes, and contents management.
Everything JobNimbus does, plus LiDAR scanning, AI negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, employee rewards, fleet management, automations, e-signatures, BOS, AI training, and more. All in one platform, one login, one bill.

Restoration CRM questions, answered straight.
What is the best restoration CRM in 2026?
The best restoration CRM in 2026 depends on what you need it to do. If you only need pipeline tracking, DASH, Albi, Xcelerate, PSA, and JobNimbus all cover that. If you want one platform that also covers scanning, AI estimating, supplements, contents, scheduling, e-signatures, analytics, chat, and automations, riivet is the only product on the market today that does all of that natively without third-party integrations.
What is a DASH alternative for restoration contractors?
riivet is the most modern alternative to DASH (Next Gear / Cotality). DASH covers pipeline and carrier integration but requires you to bolt on DocuSketch, Encircle, DocuSign, Slack, PowerBI, Zapier, and other tools to run the full job. riivet replaces DASH plus those add-ons in a single platform with a modern interface and built-in AI for estimating and supplements.
What is the difference between riivet and Albi?
Albi modernized the restoration CRM interface but covers only a portion of the workflow. It lacks AI carrier negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, marketing suite, and BOS/EOS tools. riivet delivers everything Albi does plus 15+ additional features in one platform, with a guided import path from Albi.
Is riivet better than Xcelerate, PSA, or JobNimbus?
It depends on the workflow. Xcelerate is solid on job costing but light on AI, scanning, e-signatures, chat, and automations. PSA has deep industry roots but a steep learning curve and legacy tech. JobNimbus is primarily a roofing CRM with a thin restoration add-on and no insurance-restoration-specific workflows. riivet is purpose-built for insurance restoration and covers the full job in one platform.
Which restoration CRM has LiDAR scanning built in?
riivet has LiDAR scanning and sketch generation built into the platform — no separate DocuSketch or Matterport subscription required. Field crews scan a property with a phone or tablet, and sketches plus department-specific scopes generate automatically and feed into estimating and supplements.
Which restoration CRM has AI carrier negotiations?
riivet's AI carrier negotiations engine drafts rebuttals and supplements from your scans, scope, line items, and carrier history, then sends them to adjusters from your work email. No other restoration CRM ships this capability natively. The engine is branded restitute.ai inside the platform.
Stop stitching. Start building.
Every CRM on this list was built to solve one piece of the puzzle. They all require you to bolt on DocuSign for signatures, Encircle for contents, Slack for messaging, Zapier for automations, PowerBI for reporting, and a dozen other tools just to run your business.
Riivet was built from day one to be the entire stack. 20 features, one platform, one login. No integrations to manage, no data silos, no context-switching between apps. Just one tool that does everything your restoration company needs.
