History
Founded in Boulder in 1986, Restoration Logistics was originally named First General Services of the Front Range, and intended to simply offer disaster repair. However, growing industry demands and technological opportunities led Restoration Logistics to sharply refocus and enlarge the scope of its services. Through the addition of excellent training, improved technology and equipment, strong leadership and a clear focus only on disaster restoration, Restoration Logistics quickly gained significant market advantages, changing the company slogan to disaster restoration is our ONLY business.
Focusing on the need for 24-hour, seven-day-a-week instant response and full in-house service and expertise in all areas of services offered, Restoration Logistics is able to reduce excessively high replacement costs, decrease restoration time, and eliminate the unpredictably long response time associated with the disaster restoration industry. This has allowed Restoration Logistics to simplify stressful disaster recovery and become the industry leader, best known in the area of emergency response.
Today, Restoration Logistics’ enlarged leadership team supports the push for excellence in technology, training, service and customer satisfaction.
Strategy
To provide improved service and fill the needs of the Colorado market, Restoration Logistics developed techniques that incorporate the latest expertise in the industry. The in-house customization, based on Restoration Logistics’ comprehensive restoration knowledge, makes it possible for insurance companies, risk managers, property managers, businesses and individuals to receive immediate help.
Market
There are more disastrous situations in the Rocky Mountain region now than ever before, creating a $110 million dollar industry annually in Denver alone. Fire disasters, whether from acts of nature, vandalism, or carelessness, have become a major source of disasters in Colorado. Water damage from rising rivers, excessive snowmelt, broken pipes and vandalism are continually on the rise. Vandalism and even run-away vehicles account for millions of dollars of damage annually. Each disaster represents calls to specialized service companies, translating into anywhere from a few hours to months of restoration work. A large number of victims lack appropriate insurance or are underinsured against devastation and as a result suffer millions of dollars of unnecessary loss each year. Many service companies still use outdated, non or low-tech equipment and in general no truck-mounted equipment for immediate response. As a result, other companies require labor intensive, high-cost, lengthier recovery, which is proving unacceptable to a more sophisticated market with higher expectations.
Before coming to Restoration Logistics, clients discovered that lack of technical comprehension at each step of the process compounded the inefficiencies and resulting costs. The consequence of outdated business practices resulted in revictimizing the victim. To avoid this, Restoration Logistics became the insurance contractor of choice.
Restoration Logistics uses new software that reduces response and payment time for scheduling and billing, making Restoration Logistics the preferred contractor for insurance companies. While other organizations have made momentary improvements in recent years, they are unable to compete with the excellence and economy of scale offered by Restoration Logistics’ advancements. The insurance, risk and property management industry leaders realize that full technological capabilities and credentialed expertise have become the best competitive solution for the industry.
