Ventiv IRM vs. Xactimate

Ventiv IRM works great for companies with a large number of sources of data, record management, and reporting needs. The system will be able to handle multiple users, processes, or other functions that a large company may need. Ventiv IRM would not be a good fit for companies that may not be large enough to justify the cost of a powerful platform like IRM.

As we are mainly a roofing company, this program is very well suited to our needs working with insurance companies. More than anything else, we use it for supplementing for roofing code items after a full roof replacement has been performed. It is not so well suited for small repairs we quote for siding or even roof repairs

• Support Portal allows direct access to support tickets, their status, and having programmers/developers reach out directly to me to clarify my requests.
• Taking a big project and putting it into smaller, measurable pieces that move the project from beginning to end.

• Database of actionable items & pricing.
• Scope of work creation.
• Communication between other platforms.

• Setting up a new Advance Query report - sometimes I run into glitches
• When creating/implementing a match merge, the two claims that are set to merge, need to be typed EXACTLY the same (UPPERCASE & lowercase matching on both, if one is all caps and the other is lowercase, the match merge is not successful)
• I do wish there was a way to self-match two claims instead of waiting for the match merge.

• I am not aware of anything that needs improvement.

Very usable. The team is always suggesting "tweaks" that allow for easier flow, better understanding of the information needed. This even includes in moving categories/sections in a records around so that the flow of the record is better

Support will reach out to me and I LOVE that. Often I want to show them what I see and they have always been willing to jump on a Teams meeting so I can do that. This has also helped me understand how to explain things better (support speak). This has led to closing tickets, completing projects sooner.

Whenever I have contacted them for support, they have always solved my problems.

The actual implantation was not good. The system is fully customizable so Ventiv was ready to give us what we wanted; however, we never had a system so we didn't fully understand what we wanted. Since then, we hit "reset" and we are steadily moving forward.

While Ventiv IRM is a bit more expensive than another platform we have used and evaluated, we get a lot of value that helps us make informed risk management decisions. The system works for us, and not the other way around. We're able to use integrations from other sources (such as Navex for reporting and our TPA, and Gallagher-Bassett for financial claim information). The system is easy to use, update, and manage, which is helpful too.

We have not used any other software other than Xactimate at this time. We feel it is the most widely used software product by insurance companies and they also continue to try and improve their software regularly. Most recently, I have found out they are working towards integration of (I may be using the wrong terms for this...) photographic/scanning measurements just auto populating into the sketch window. Even the auto population of line items with other software integration would almost eliminate the need to take physical measurements in the future and drastically reduce the time it takes to generate a claim report.

• OSHA reports are easier to run they were in our former software, Riskmaster
• We don't utilized IRM as much as CE so are still finding ways to improve

Incentivized

• Clear communication with all stakeholders.
• High pricing for smaller scaled operations - ROI can be long.
• Training team members is an investment.
