The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is pleased to announce a new Affinity Partnership with LiveSwitch. This partnership will equip RIA members with exclusive savings on the LiveSwitch communications platform, designed to help restoration professionals work smarter, reduce wasted trips, and improve job visibility.

“Speed to lead is critical in restoration. When property owners are facing damage and loss, contractors need to respond quickly and efficiently,” said Kristy Cohen, CEO of the Restoration Industry Association. “This partnership with LiveSwitch provides our members with an innovative technology option that could help streamline estimates and operations but can also help them compete more effectively in their markets.”

The LiveSwitch AI-powered platform lets restoration companies remotely capture job scope, prioritize work, and dispatch the right people and equipment before ever stepping foot on-site. By cutting down on unnecessary trips, restorers save both time and money while positioning themselves to win more jobs, faster.

"This partnership represents a significant opportunity to advance the restoration industry through innovative technology," said CEO Michael Adams. "RIA is a prominent leader for advocacy and education in the restoration industry, and we're excited to show their members how to use technology to see damage immediately, win more jobs, and prioritize intake during named storms."
