The restoration-specific alternative to JobNimbus
JobNimbus is built primarily for roofing and home-exterior contractors, with a restoration add-on. It's lighter on the deep insurance restoration workflows — adjuster negotiations, IICRC scopes, contents management — that restorers need day to day. Riivet is purpose-built for insurance restoration from the ground up.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best JobNimbus alternative for insurance restoration contractors in 2026?
riivet is the best restoration-specific JobNimbus alternative in 2026. JobNimbus is built primarily for roofing and home-exterior contractors, with a lighter restoration add-on. It's lighter on the deep insurance restoration workflows — carrier negotiations, IICRC scopes, contents management, supplements, BOS — that restorers need every day. riivet is purpose-built for insurance restoration from the ground up.
Why is a restoration-specific CRM better than JobNimbus for water, fire, and mold work?
Insurance restoration has unique workflows: FNOL intake, carrier negotiations, contents pack-out, IICRC-aligned scopes, supplement management, and adjuster relationships. JobNimbus is built primarily for roofing and exterior work rather than these. Generic field-service CRMs tend to miss the insurance side of the job, which is where most of the cycle-time and margin pressure lives.
Can I import my data from JobNimbus to riivet?
Yes. riivet handles full data migration from JobNimbus. The onboarding team processes any export format. Clients, properties, jobs, financials, and historical records land in riivet on Day 1.
Is riivet more expensive than JobNimbus?
Per seat, riivet is $99 per month, flat — typically higher than JobNimbus's entry pricing. The full picture matters: JobNimbus customers in restoration often pay separately for adjuster-facing tools, contents, scanning, e-signatures, automations, and analytics. riivet bundles all of those in. Many companies save an estimated $50,000+ per year in total software costs by consolidating.
Does riivet include AI carrier negotiations and LiDAR scanning?
Yes. riivet ships both natively — AI carrier negotiations and built-in LiDAR scanning for restoration estimating — plus contents management, BOS, training, employee rewards, and a marketing suite tuned for restoration BDRs. General-purpose contractor CRMs are typically lighter on these restoration-specific capabilities.
Does riivet support contents pack-out and supplement workflows?
Yes. riivet replaces Encircle for contents — AI photo tagging, plain-text item search, pack-out / cleaning / storage / pack-back invoice tracking — and runs the supplement workflow end to end through the AI carrier negotiations engine. Both are built in, no third-party tools required.
