They sell you a CRM.
We replace your entire stack.
Every restoration CRM on the market solves one piece of the puzzle, which usually means stitching together additional subscriptions. Riivet is built to replace them all: 20 features, one login, zero integrations to manage.
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, with an interface and AI toolset many users find dated. It's typically paired with 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 many legacy tools, but its scope is narrower than riivet's, which adds native scanning, AI-assisted estimating, negotiations, contents, and a full marketing suite.
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, though it's typically paired with third-party tools for 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. Built more for roofing and exteriors than for 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-assisted estimating, supplements, contents, scheduling, e-signatures, analytics, chat, and automations, riivet brings all of that together natively — without stitching together third-party integrations. We're not aware of another restoration CRM that covers this full range in one platform.
What is a DASH alternative for restoration contractors?
riivet is a modern alternative to DASH (Next Gear / Cotality). DASH covers pipeline and carrier integration, but running the full job typically means bolting on tools like DocuSketch, Encircle, DocuSign, Slack, PowerBI, and Zapier. riivet brings DASH-style job management plus those capabilities into a single platform with a modern interface and built-in AI-assisted estimating and supplements.
What is the difference between riivet and Albi?
Albi modernized the restoration CRM interface but focuses on a narrower slice of the workflow than riivet. On top of what Albi offers, riivet adds AI carrier negotiations, contents management, built-in chat, a marketing suite, and BOS/EOS tools — 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 lighter on AI, scanning, e-signatures, chat, and automations. PSA has deep industry roots but a steep learning curve and an older tech stack. JobNimbus is primarily a roofing CRM with a lighter restoration add-on rather than deep insurance-restoration 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. We're not aware of another restoration CRM that ships this capability natively. The engine is branded restitute.ai and available as an add-on inside the platform.
Stop stitching. Start building.
Every CRM on this list was built to solve one piece of the puzzle. Most of them lean on add-ons like DocuSign for signatures, Encircle for contents, Slack for messaging, Zapier for automations, PowerBI for reporting, and 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.
