Great Value for Restoration and Construction CRM

They are responsive and easy to talk to. When you need a change they can generally get it done!

PROS

its fast to change from screen to screen, the Esign docs is also great!

CONS

Automation is all through an outside source like Zappier which is an additional fee.

Reason for choosing Albi

Functionality of the product for restoration and construction and that it is customizable.

Reasons for switching to Albi

it was slow, Clunky, no open API's, would not make any changes to that system and since being bought out by Xactimate they haven't made any changes that were good.

Vendor Response

Hi Josiah! Thank you so much for the stellar review! We appreciate customers like you! Zapier is only $19.99 per month. We are working on internal automation engine within the software. Expect something to be done by Q1 2022. If you want to take a deeper look into Zapier and what it can do, your account manager will be able to help!

Best restoration job management system out there!

Albi was easy to implement and we got buy in from our team almost instantly!

PROS

It blows all of its' competitors out of the park feature wise. Custom reporting engine, phone integration, almost all features available in the mobile app, etc.

CONS

Certain features/placement of information that our team desires is not out yet. However, the team has been working diligently in honoring our requests.

Reason for choosing Albi

MUCH easier to use. More integrations. Better product overall!

Reasons for switching to Albi

All of the above products were clunky and didn't have a mobile app that was friendly. They took forever to load, and in our time using them they didn't develop new features.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the rave review Nick! We appreciate you and your team!

Work in Progress

The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] of Albi keeps relaying his message like a mantra. Albi is supposed to be a money-maker for us. Reality is quite different. In doing invoicing, we will not be able to use our current systems. They work, we get paid. Not so sure what will happen when the techs don't use Albi correctly. We keep training, and retraining, and still, no progress.

PROS

We are trying to bring our processes together into one process. When this occurs, it could be good for the company.

CONS

The software does not solve all problems.

Love it so far!

The people are amazing, the product is wonderful. So far so good

PROS

It's so flexible and can be personalized to how we choose to run our company. I love that they have thought of everything! They have a solution to keep track of anything we need to. The customer service is amazing, and I love that they are still working to improve what is already great. It gives me piece of mind that they will continue to grow as we do.

CONS

It's pricey, especially for a small company that is just starting out, we don't love that it's pay per user.

Reason for choosing Albi

It was built specifically for restoration and is flexible to how we run our company

Reasons for switching to Albi

It was too rigid in what you could do within the software and very impersonal as far as trainings and set up

Up & Coming Must Have Product

They're super quick to respond and it sounds like they have a lot of things in the work. Overall, I'd say I'm happy we made the switch from Restoration Manager mostly because there wasn't a mobile app (worth a dang) available from RM.

PROS

I love how easy it is to fine phone numbers and addresses while on the go to follow up with customers promptly.

CONS

I'm not currently able to access customer information through the app for projects that have been closed, so following up with customers can be a real hassle if the project has been recently completed & closed. I also cannot access, or change the estimate or contract total for the customer through the app to add a change order or anything sold after the initial project is setup from a desktop computer.

Reasons for switching to Albi

Ease of use, general functionality, and customization of platform tools.

Vendor Response

Hi Keenan! Thank you for your feedback! We are working on getting closed projects to show in the mobile app without filling the mobile app up and reducing performance. The financial issue is most likely a permission you may not have. We'll get on it!

Why AlbiWare is the correct choice in choosing a CRM

I’m happy about the decision to purchase this CRM

PROS

Very user friendly, customizable, and if you email AlbiWare they respond back immediately.

CONS

It’s nothing that I don’t like. I have no problem with expressing my displeasures. Especially if it could help something become better. At this point in time I just don’t have anything that I’m unpleased about.

Reasons for switching to Albi

AlbiWare made things simple, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is very helpful and walks you through the system step by step

Showroom Ready Homes DFW Manager Review

Albi has been pretty great. As i've gotten more familiar it has proven to be a useful tool for our branch. With all of the documentation that is required in our field I am looking forward to you guys finding better ways to make documenting easier.

PROS

I love that my guys on the field can pull up the app on their phone and get going right away in terms of tracking data needed on the field. The timeline and the photo feature is one of my favorites. I also like e signatures all being in one place for our customers. Lastly I think it is awesome that you can record outbound calls. Looking forward to that growing in the next couple of months.

CONS

I do not like that I can not merge callers on a recorded line. I also wish there were a space in the contact where we can add extensions for customers. I do think there are way to many hurtles in seeing invoices. I just to have a feature for invoicing and a feature for seeing projected sales. Not have to go through multiple windows to do this. I liked the way that ZOHO estimating software did theirs and I would consider looking into it. They made it easy to be able to navigate through estimates and invoices with graphs on sales for the month as well as projected numbers according estimates sent out for the week or even month. I understand you can see some of this in the status section but it feels like a small detail rather than a designated space on the website for this. Lastly, I'd like to you to consider a notebook section to each job that we can track specific measurements of jobsites on.

A great CRM option for Restoration Companies

PROS

We really like the ease of use in the app features. Our techs took a little bit of time to adjust but now it is second nature to them to use it. I like the timeline and tagging features and the ability to task within a project. We have been very happy with the customer reporting that comes out of the system and know there are still a lot of features we haven't tapped into yet. Customer service has also been very good. They are quick to reply.

CONS

Implementation of new features sometimes take a while which is understandable, because there is a lot of technology behind creating them. There are a few hiccups when working in a remote area because you do have to have a signal in order to get into the app and save anything. As Albi has scaled there has been a slight slow down in response time on questions or features but that is to be expected. From time to time it does have small outages which is a frustrating in the moment but they seem to be short lived and Albi usually gives users heads up when that happens

Reason for choosing Albi

The app interface was definitely what sold us the ease of use in the field was very important to us. If our techs couldn't or wouldn't use it then it would not have been a good fit. We also liked that they are willing to work with us and help customize what works best for us.

My overall experience has been great. We now have one platform that does everything. I no longer have to jump between 2-3 clunky apps. Albi has everything I need in one place. The support staff is amazing. If we have any issues at all they are available immediately.

PROS

CONS

the inability to add notes to a clients multiple jobs is a bit frustrating and the inability to use the back button to save a client search is not convenient

The organization of this software is great. But takes alot to build it for ease of use.

PROS

the best part is the drybook and organization

CONS

Very difficult to get a true floorplan of a chamber. Can only look at total sqft after a chamber if drawn, can't see length and width. Also the pictures taken directly in the app never upload. I always need to take a picture with my phone then upload later.

Albi is like no other program out there

Having multiple programs needed to run a business all in one location is wonderful. Especially love the customization to our company, everything is easy to use, we have everything at our fingertips. I am working in Albi all day long for various tasks, I have never run into a problem, nor a program error.

PROS

Albi Customized their program to work for our company. All of the features offered have given us the freedom to focus on our emergency service, we have eliminated the extra workload and extra cost of several programs because Albi is a program that covers just about everything. Customer Service/Account Manager was always available and very helpful, if there was something she didn't know she always found out and never failed to make contact with us to share.

CONS

Integration from our old program is still in process, it has taken quite a bit of time, however we will wait patiently as this is very important to us and I am sure it is a bit tricky. The process of recording calls seems to need a bit of critiquing. All in all we are very happy with Albi and all it does.

Reasons for switching to Albi

We made the switch to Albi because you offered so much in one place, it was a big endeavor, and we have no regrets in doing so.

Contents Manager

PROS

We have been using the software since March of this year. It has improved with every update with the ease of use and what it is able to tell the company. I can not wait when it is fully functional and does everything it is designed to do.

CONS

The training of the use of it and the explanation of all the features need to be better. Having the training in the beginning when you know nothing about the software is good but does not really help as much as doing it in the beginning and then doing another training after you have used it for a few weeks and then do another training. You should also think about doing training when changes happen with updates.

Vendor Response

Hi Jason! Thank you for the feedback! We will discuss how to better the training experience in our next meeting!

PROS

It is a lot easier to use that our previous software. They are still under development and they are implementing new things. Their customer services is on point! They get back to our questions in a very timely manner.

CONS

Good and Bad

PROS

I love the ease of translation from our paperwork to Albi. It is a common sense approach. The time saving of not duplicating admin work is so great as well as letting the entire team have access to job information!

CONS

Integration of our old info into Albi didn't work. I spent almost 3 days trying to get our spreadsheet to match what was needed to pull in data without success. We gave up and decided to hand enter all info. Also the Quickbook integration is not working very well. Our historic data is not going to be clean in Albi and there isn't a way to input our historical data cleanly. It seems the software developers don't actually use Albi because of the specifics of the app that don't actually work for the end user.

Reason for choosing Albi

The seeming ease of learning the software and it was developed for restoration companies.
