The Restoration Industry Association recently published “6 Tech Tips to Simplify Operations for Restoration Businesses,” an industry article authored by Nick Hindle, Chief Information Officer at PuroClean. Drawing from decades of experience in enterprise technology, software engineering, and restoration-specific platforms, Hindle shares practical insight into how restoration businesses can simplify operations, reduce friction, and scale more effectively through intentional technology decisions.
In the article, Hindle explains how thoughtful technology choices can remove complexity rather than add to it, an increasingly critical focus as restoration businesses grow and manage more jobs, data, and teams.
Technology That Supports the Work, Not the Other Way Around
Hindle emphasizes that technology should serve the operational reality of restoration teams, not slow them down. His six recommendations focus on simplifying workflows, improving data accuracy, and reducing manual processes that often create bottlenecks in the field.
Key themes include:
- Choosing integrated systems instead of disconnected tools
- Using real-time data to support faster decision-making
- Reducing duplicate entries and manual work
- Improving visibility across jobs, teams, and performance metrics
- Ensuring technology scales with business growth rather than limiting it
Rather than focusing on trends for their own sake, Hindle stresses the importance of practical solutions that support day-to-day execution, especially in an industry where speed, coordination, and accuracy directly impact customer outcomes.
Why This Matters for Restoration Businesses and Their Customers
Restoration work happens under pressure. Property owners are often dealing with unexpected damage, tight timelines, and high stress. Behind the scenes, restoration teams must coordinate crews, documentation, compliance, and communication, often simultaneously.
Hindle’s insights underscore how well-designed technology systems help restoration businesses respond more effectively by:
- Reducing delays caused by disorganized workflows
- Improving accuracy in documentation and reporting
- Enabling teams to focus more time on the work itself, instead of on administrative tasks
- Supporting consistent service delivery across locations
When operations run more smoothly, customers benefit from faster response times, clearer communication, and more reliable outcomes during critical moments.
How Technology Leadership Supports Reliable Restoration
Nick Hindle’s contribution reflects PuroClean’s long-standing investment in operational excellence, security, and scalable technology. Before joining PuroClean as the brand’s first Chief Information Officer in 2023, Hindle played a key role in the original rollout of PuroMetrix (PMX) on the DASH Enterprise platform, helping shape how technology supports restoration operations across the brand.
Today, as PuroClean’s CIO, Hindle oversees PuroClean’s IT infrastructure, compliance, and security systems, ensuring that Franchise Owners and their teams are supported by technology that enhances performance rather than complicates it.
This feature reinforces PuroClean’s position as a brand led by experienced professionals who understand both the technical and operational realities of restoration. By prioritizing systems that simplify work and strengthen execution, PuroClean continues to support Franchise Owners in delivering reliable, high-quality service to homeowners and businesses nationwide.
