Restoration job management, built around the work.

Right now a single job is scattered across DASH, a whiteboard, three apps, and a group text. Something always slips through. Relay pulls the whole job onto one record, from first notice of loss to final payment, so the whole team works from the same information.

What it does

Every restoration job, on one record.

The job record is where restoration work lives, from intake through closeout. Schedules, vendors, communications, photos, contents, and invoices share the same record, accessible by every department.

  • Full job lifecycle on one record
  • Scheduling and dispatch
  • Photos, documents, and notes
  • Technician assignment
  • Vendor coordination
  • Job-to-invoice handoff
Capabilities

Inside the job record.

The capabilities that make the job module work, and what each one connects to.

Job record

One job record, tied to the customer.

Each job lives on the customer's account, alongside contacts, channels, account value, and every prior job for the same customer. Every team sees the same record, without exports or status meetings.

  • Job tied to a customer account with full history
  • Loss type, division, and stage on the same record
  • Activity visible to every department
Connects to CommunicationsCalls and SMS tie to the job. See how.
Scheduling and dispatch

See who is free, book them on the call.

When the call comes in, whoever answers sees the real availability of every project manager, estimator, and technician (pulled live from their Google and Microsoft calendars) and books the right one into an arrival window right there on the call. The appointment lands on that person's calendar, and the customer gets a calendar invite, plus a text confirmation where enabled.

  • Live availability across PMs, estimators, and technicians
  • Book the arrival window during the intake call
  • Syncs to the assignee's calendar; the customer is notified
Connects to SchedulingHow availability and on-the-call booking work.
Photos and documents

A photo and document timeline organized by the work.

Photos are categorized by room and stage. Documents (scopes, estimates, certifications, COIs) attach directly to the job. Notes log the conversation between office and field. The whole timeline lives on the record.

  • Photos categorized by room and stage
  • Scopes, estimates, and reports attached to the job
  • Notes timeline visible to office and field
Vendor coordination

Vendors dispatched, verified, and billing the job.

Dispatch subcontractors right from the job, and only ones whose insurance and documents are current. The vendor portal standardizes how subs onboard and keeps their COIs up to date, creates approved vendors in QuickBooks automatically (no manual entry), and lets vendors submit invoices against the jobs they're added to, posting to QuickBooks as bills tied to the job.

  • Dispatch from the job with COI and insurance verified first
  • Standardized portal onboarding; approved vendors sync to QuickBooks
  • Vendors invoice their jobs, posted as QuickBooks bills on the job
Connects to VendorsThe full vendor portal and compliance record.
Job to payment

From the job to getting paid, without re-entry.

Collect payment right on the job (by link, Tap to Pay, or card) while vendor bills from QuickBooks match back to the same job. Approved costs and payments roll into the job’s live financials, so operations and accounting see the same number on the same day.

  • Take payment on the job: link, Tap to Pay, cash, or check
  • Vendor bills matched to the job from QuickBooks by Job ID
  • Live budget, costs, and account balance on the job
Connects to AccountingWhere AP approvals and QuickBooks live.
Built for restoration

Restoration jobs aren't generic work orders.

The things that make Relay's job module restoration-specific, not a translation from horizontal field service.

  • Loss type as a first-class attribute

    Water, fire, mold, smoke, and biohazard each carry their own scope, sequence, and documentation. Relay treats loss type as part of the job model, not a custom field bolted on.

  • Division as part of the job

    Mitigation, reconstruction, and contents may all happen on the same job, with different teams and timelines. Each division is tracked on the same record.

  • Restoration job stages, not generic ticketing

    Lead → In Progress → Completed → Closed reflects how restoration work actually flows. Stage transitions trigger handoffs between departments.

  • Insurance documentation built in

    Photos, scopes, and notes are organized for carrier visibility from the start, not retrofitted at closeout.

  • Contents, vendor, and accounting handoffs in the platform

    Contents work, vendor dispatch, and invoice handoff happen inside the job, not in a different system. There's nothing to re-enter when the work changes hands.

Jobs FAQ

Questions about the job module.

More on the FAQ page.

How does Relay handle jobs across multiple divisions?

A single job can carry mitigation, reconstruction, and contents work together. Each division has its own stage and team, but they share the same record so handoffs happen inside the job.

Can technicians update jobs from the field?

Yes. Technicians update stages, add photos, log notes, and mark tasks complete from mobile, and updates land on the same job record the office sees.

How are photos and documents organized on a job?

Photos are categorized by room and stage. Documents (scopes, estimates, certifications, COIs) attach directly to the job. Both stay in the job timeline, visible to every team.

How does Relay connect jobs to accounting?

When the work closes, the invoice generates from the job and syncs to QuickBooks. There's no re-entry between operations and accounting, they read from the same source.

What happens when a job has subcontractors or vendors?

Vendors are assigned to the job record. COI status, insurance expirations, and dispatch state are visible inside the job. The full vendor record lives in the Vendors module.
