Restoration Industry Association (RIA) and Actionable Insights Announce Partnership
The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) and Actionable Insights announce a strategic partnership to help contractors write more accurate property insurance estimates.

SAN DIEGO (Feb. 14, 2023)
– Actionable Insights, an educational non-profit institution that specializes in training contractors, adjusters, and property insurance professionals, announced today a partnership with the Restoration Industry Association (RIA), the restoration industry’s oldest and largest non-profit professional trade association dedicated to promoting leadership and best practices, to expand access to the Actionable Xactimate Profile to RIA members around the world.

Released in October 2022 by Actionable Insights, the Actionable Xactimate Profile is an estimating solution that provides live estimating guidance within Xactimate, helping guide Xactimate users toward a complete and thorough scope of work. The tool aims to give equal credence to both overages as well as omissions, help reduce cycle times, champion a spirit of fairly settled claims, and foster environments of reasonable profits.

Through this partnership, Actionable Insights will also provide its powerful suite of estimating tools and resources to RIA members at preferred pricing.

“RIA has been a big supporter of Actionable Insights for several years now, so we are both excited and appreciative for the opportunity to partner up,” noted Seth Harrison, Executive Director of Actionable Insights. “The Actionable Xactimate Profile actively improves every estimate that's created with it, and we look forward to leveling up every RIA member that takes advantage of this opportunity. This new partnership will change the way RIA members estimate forever.”

A champion for educating, advocating for, and elevating the restoration industry, RIA’s involvement in this partnership is just the organization’s latest effort to deliver the highest quality educational resources to the industry. RIA currently offers an expansive list of benefits for restoration contractors, including advocacy, certification, education, and training. RIA also hosts the International Restoration Convention + Industry Expo, which highlights the latest technology, industry trends, best business practices, and advocacy developments.

The RIA and Actionable Insights are both committed to providing impactful Xactimate estimating tools and resources to the restoration industry. RIA members can access this members-only benefit at www.restorationindustry.org.

About Actionable Insights
Actionable Insights is a foundation that exists to preserve the health of the restoration ecosystem by advancing legislation and clarifying globally recognized billing standards. As a natural expression of this mission, we established estimating guidelines that help Xactimate users generate accurate estimates that can be approved without hesitation. Our leadership is comprised of adjusters, contractors, insurance defense attorneys and Xactimate trainers. We all care deeply about this industry and we regard Actionable Insights as a vehicle by which we can give back to an industry that has been so good to us. There is a groundswell movement emerging, comprised of individuals on both sides of the claim, that are keen to explore better ways to settle claims. With industry-wide participation, we can transcend the “we-they" dichotomy that often emerges between adjusters and contractors. Doesn’t that sound refreshing? Collectively, we can further the adoption of new line items, advance beneficial legislation, reduce cycle times, champion a spirit of fairly settled claims, make reasonable profits, and have some fun in the process.
