Helixco Launches HydroTrac to Boost Restoration Contractor Records
Helixco, a software provider for restoration and mitigation contractors, announced the launch of HydroTrac, a drying documentation tool that captures a water loss project from the first field reading through the final report. HydroTrac is available now and is included with Helixco’s T&M (Time and Material) software at no additional cost.
Moisture readings alone rarely tell the full story of a drying job. When an invoice is reviewed by a carrier, third-party administrator, or property owner, contractors are expected to show where readings were taken, how equipment was deployed, how conditions changed from visit to visit, and why the job reached completion when it did. That information is often scattered across meter apps, handwritten logs, photo libraries and separate sketch tools. HydroTrac brings it together into one organized, visual record of the drying process.
“A lack of documentation results in a lack of payment,” said Mike Allred, CEO of Helixco. “Helixco is working to bring all commercial work documentation into a single environment, and HydroTrac is a major step toward that goal. With this improvement, Helixco’s T&M is the most advanced and complete time and material billing software available.”
HydroTrac is built around ANSI/IICRC standards, including the ANSI/IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration, and connects field measurements with the supporting documentation needed to explain and justify the work performed. Key capabilities include:
- Room sketches and equipment placement: Map moisture-monitoring points and drying equipment locations directly within the job’s floor plan.
- Photo-verified readings: Attach meter photos to each recorded reading, along with capture times and technician details.
- Visual drying trends: Track atmospheric conditions and material moisture content over time, with readings measured against established drying goals.
- Visit-by-visit history: Review daily readings and equipment records in a chronological, date-organized log.
- Consolidated final reports: Combine sketches, readings, equipment information, and photo evidence into a single job record suitable for sharing with customers, adjusters, and other stakeholders.
Because HydroTrac is built into Helixco’s T&M software, contractors can manage drying documentation in the same platform they use to record time, equipment and materials.
