PLATFORM SPOKE · ROOFING & STORM RESTORATION

AccuLynx virtual assistant for job-file hygiene and supplement follow-up.

One bilingual operator inside your AccuLynx, running the cadence: carrier status calls, the endorsement chase, homeowner updates in English and Spanish, and a pipeline that tells the truth.

Built for insurance restoration roofers. AccuLynx holds the deepest insurance tooling of any roofing CRM, but the platform only works if somebody feeds it: statuses advanced, supplements chased, documents attached, homeowners called. That somebody is usually an office manager who already has three jobs. The operator takes that communication layer, works it daily, and leaves the judgment calls where they belong, with your estimator and your production manager.

0107Workflow

Inside your AccuLynx, six lanes the operator runs.

The communication layer of an insurance restoration job, executed bilingually and documented in the job file. Each lane has a hard boundary: the operator runs the cadence and the communication, and your estimator owns every number, every line item, and every scope decision. This page is the platform-deep cut of our broader roofing virtual assistant workflow, framed by AccuLynx specifically instead of by vertical.

Job-file status hygiene

Every job in the stage it is actually in

The operator works your AccuLynx pipeline daily: advancing job-file statuses when reality advances, logging every carrier call and homeowner touch as a note on the file, flagging jobs that have not moved past your stall threshold, and keeping build dates current. Monday production meetings run on the pipeline view instead of memory.

Supplement follow-up cadence

The open-supplement list, called on schedule

After your estimator submits the supplement, the operator runs the follow-up cadence: status calls to the carrier and the desk adjuster queue on every open supplement, each touch documented in the AccuLynx job file, internal escalation to your supplement lead when carrier silence passes your day threshold. The operator chases status. Your estimator owns the numbers.

Mortgage endorsement chase

Two-party checks worked until funds release

When the carrier check names the mortgage company as co-payee, the operator runs the mortgage company endorsement chase: calls to the lender loss-draft department, document requirements confirmed with the homeowner, the endorsement package tracked end to end, and every step logged in the job file until the funds release and the build can be scheduled.

Homeowner updates, EN/ES

Milestone calls in the homeowner’s language

Restoration jobs run for weeks and silence is what loses referrals. The operator calls homeowners at the milestones you define, in English or Spanish: claim filed, adjuster inspection scheduled, supplement submitted, materials ordered, build day confirmed, final invoice sent. Each call is logged on the AccuLynx job file so your team sees what was said.

Material-order coordination

Orders staged against the job file

AccuLynx is the CRM with ABC Supply ordering built in, and the operator keeps the ordering layer coordinated: material orders cross-checked against the job file before the supplier cutoff, delivery windows confirmed for the build day, discrepancies flagged to your production manager, and order status reflected in the file so nobody calls the supplier twice.

Document chase + attach

Photos and paperwork land on the file

Signed contingency agreements, the scope of loss, adjuster reports, supplement cover letters, inspection photos from the field crew. The operator chases the documents the file is waiting on, from homeowners and field staff alike, and attaches photos and documents to the AccuLynx job file the day they arrive. A stranger could pick up any job and know where it stands.

0207The bilingual layer

Your AccuLynx speaks one language. Your storm market speaks two.

44.9 million people in the US speak Spanish at home (US Census Bureau, 2024 ACS), and they are concentrated in the same Florida and Texas markets where insurance restoration volume concentrates. A meaningful share of the homeowners in your AccuLynx pipeline prefer Spanish. So do most of the crews and sub crews on your build schedule. The standard restoration office routes all of that through one overloaded bilingual employee, and the job file shows it: updates skipped, callbacks missed, a homeowner who has not heard from anyone since the adjuster inspection.

A native Spanish-speaking operator collapses that relay. The milestone update lands in the homeowner’s first language and gets logged on the job file in the language your team reads. The crew lead gets the build-day confirmation in Spanish the first time, with no relay through a foreman who has a roof to run. The document chase that stalls when a Spanish-first homeowner does not understand what the lender needs gets unstuck in one call. Same AccuLynx workflow, different completion rate.

This is the operating discipline behind our broader bilingual virtual assistant service. The AccuLynx page is the platform-deep cut.

0307Onboarding

Nobody arrives knowing your AccuLynx. Here is what actually happens.

Vendors in this category like to claim their assistants show up already fluent in your CRM. Treat that claim with suspicion. Your AccuLynx is configured around your pipeline stages, your supplement tracking conventions, and your suppliers, and an operator fitted to a generic template would run a generic version of your workflow instead of yours. Our model is the opposite: your team teaches your AccuLynx once, during a structured 7-day onboarding, and our supervisor turns that knowledge into written SOPs that outlast any individual operator.

Days 1-3 · Your team leads setup

Your team adds the operator to your AccuLynx and walks through your pipeline stages, your job-file conventions, your supplement tracking process, your material-order workflow, and your homeowner update milestones. Our supervisor sits in and documents every workflow into written SOPs for your account. End of Day 3, the operator can explain your AccuLynx setup back to you.

Days 4-6 · Shadowing

The operator shadows your office manager or production coordinator on live work: listens on carrier status calls, watches job files advance through your pipeline in real time, and runs role-plays on homeowner update calls in English and Spanish under supervisor review until your escalation rules are automatic.

Day 7 · First live calls, supervised

The operator takes first live carrier follow-up calls and homeowner update calls with the supervisor on the line. Anything ambiguous gets flagged, answered by your team, and written into the SOP the same day.

Week 2 · Autonomous

The operator runs the full cadence on their own: the open-supplement list, the endorsement chase, job-file hygiene, document chase, homeowner updates, material-order coordination. The supervisor stays in the background with daily check-ins and weekly call review.

The operator extends your office team rather than standing in for it. Your estimator still writes every Xactimate line item, your production manager still owns the schedule, and your salespeople still close. What changes is that the carrier gets called on schedule, the homeowner hears from you in their language, and the job file tells the truth.

The supplement was written in an afternoon. It was approved because somebody called the carrier eleven times and wrote each call into the job file.

FROM THE CLAIMS-CADENCE NOTEBOOK

0407Honest scope

Three lines the operator never crosses.

The industry math explains the division of labor. Initial carrier scopes are commonly written at 50 to 65 percent of true value, per claimsupplementpro.com, and the average residential supplement recovers $7,000 to $8,000 per claim, per iasolutions.claims. Recovering that money takes two different kinds of work: the judgment work of writing and arguing the estimate, and the persistence work of chasing it through the carrier’s queue. The operator does the second and never touches the first.

Never writes estimates

No Xactimate line items, ever

The operator tracks that the supplement packet went out, confirms carrier receipt, and chases missing documents. The operator does not write or modify Xactimate estimates, does not build supplement line items or code items, and does not draft the O&P justification or the supplement cover letter argument. That is your estimator’s skilled work, and it stays in house.

Never negotiates scope

Status calls, not scope arguments

The operator calls the carrier for status and documents the answer. If a desk adjuster wants to argue line items, dispute the scope of loss, or talk numbers on ACV/RCV or recoverable depreciation, the operator documents the request and hands the call to your estimator or supplement lead the same business day. Any conversation that argues the numbers stays with your team.

Never adjusts claims

Coverage and claim strategy stay with you

The operator is not an adjuster and does not act like one. No coverage conversations with homeowners, no claim-strategy advice, no interpreting the carrier’s position on depreciation or O&P. The operator’s lane is cadence and communication: who was called, what was said, what the file is waiting on, and when to escalate to your team.

0507What it costs

Flat monthly, priced for storm season math.

Operator, the tier most restoration roofers start on, is $1,497 per month: one full-time bilingual operator at 40 hours per week, working from our managed office on company equipment, with an embedded supervisor, a 3-operator warm bench behind them, and a 5-business-day replacement SLA. Starter at $897 per month covers smaller shops testing the model with a part-time operator at 20 hours per week.

Team at $3,497 per month gives you two bilingual operators with a stepped-up shared supervisor on a 6-month minimum, which is the configuration for staffing more than one shift at a time during storm season. Custom is quote-based for five or more operators with bespoke SLAs. No annual contract, cancel any month after the first, and Starter and Operator carry a 7-day money-back guarantee.

THE JOB-FILE DISCIPLINE

AccuLynx was built to hold the answer to every question your production meeting asks. Somebody has to feed it, in both languages your pipeline speaks.

0607How we differ

Not a gig listing. Not an answering service.

Search this category today and the alternatives are a gig marketplace listing promising AccuLynx data entry by the hour, or an answering service that takes the storm call and transfers the message. The gig freelancer works alone, unsupervised, with no bench behind them when they disappear in the middle of your storm season. The answering service agent has never seen your pipeline and will never touch it. The message gets taken. The supplement does not get chased.

The operator model is a different job. One dedicated person who works inside your AccuLynx daily, carries context across weeks, and is managed by an embedded supervisor against the SOPs your team helped write. The person who logs the homeowner call on Tuesday is the same person calling the carrier about the supplement on Thursday and confirming the material order before the supplier cutoff on Friday. If reception-only coverage is genuinely all you need, an answering service is cheaper, and we will tell you that on the fit call. The structural comparison with the honest math is on our answering service vs bilingual VA page.

0707Questions

Common questions from AccuLynx-running roofers.

01Do your virtual assistants already know AccuLynx?
Honest answer: no, and you should distrust anyone who claims otherwise. Our operators arrive trained on bilingual phone work, general CRM concepts, and professional documentation discipline. They do not arrive fitted to your specific AccuLynx setup, your pipeline stages, your job-file conventions, or your supplement tracking process, because every AccuLynx account is configured around one company’s workflow. Your team teaches your AccuLynx during the 7-day onboarding: Days 1-3 your team leads setup while our supervisor documents your workflow into written SOPs, Days 4-6 the operator shadows your team on live work, Day 7 they take first live calls supervised, and by Week 2 they run your cadence autonomously. The SOPs mean a replacement operator never starts from zero on your account.
02Can a virtual assistant run supplement follow-up in AccuLynx?
Yes, with a clear boundary. Initial carrier scopes are commonly written at 50 to 65 percent of true value, per claimsupplementpro.com, and the average residential supplement recovers $7,000 to $8,000 per claim, per iasolutions.claims. Most of the weeks between submission and approval are consumed by follow-up nobody in the office has bandwidth to run. The operator runs that cadence inside AccuLynx: daily status calls on every open supplement, desk adjuster callbacks, document chase, the mortgage company endorsement chase, and a job file that reflects reality after every touch. What the operator never does: write or modify Xactimate estimates, build supplement line items, argue the scope of loss with the desk adjuster, interpret ACV/RCV or recoverable depreciation positions, or negotiate O&P. The judgment work stays with your estimator or supplement lead. The persistence work is what you delegate.
03What AccuLynx tasks can a virtual assistant handle?
Six lanes, all inside your AccuLynx account. Job-file status hygiene: statuses advanced daily, notes logged, stalled jobs flagged. Supplement follow-up cadence: scheduled status calls to carriers on every open supplement, every touch documented. The mortgage company endorsement chase: lender loss-draft calls worked until two-party checks clear. Homeowner updates in English or Spanish at the milestones you define. Material-order coordination, including order tracking against the job file where you use AccuLynx ordering with suppliers like ABC Supply. And document chase: contracts, adjuster reports, and field photos collected and attached to the job file. Outside the lanes: estimates, scope negotiation, and claim decisions stay with your team.
04How much does an AccuLynx virtual assistant cost?
Assistiq pricing is flat monthly, not hourly. Starter is $897 per month for a part-time bilingual operator at 20 hours per week. Operator, the tier most restoration roofers start on, is $1,497 per month for one full-time bilingual operator at 40 hours per week, working from our managed office with an embedded supervisor. Team is $3,497 per month for two operators with a stepped-up shared supervisor on a 6-month minimum, the configuration for multi-shift coverage. Custom is quote-based for five or more operators. There is no annual contract, Starter and Operator carry a 7-day money-back guarantee, and a 3-operator warm bench backs a 5-business-day replacement SLA.
05Do you also work in JobNimbus?
Yes. The delivery model is platform-agnostic by design: your team teaches your CRM during the 7-day onboarding, whichever CRM that is, and our supervisor documents your workflow into SOPs. JobNimbus engagements are welcome, and the same cadence work applies in both platforms: job-file hygiene, supplement follow-up, endorsement chase, homeowner updates. If your shop runs JobNimbus, book the same fit call and we will scope it on your actual pipeline. The broader roofing workflow, independent of platform, is covered on our roofing virtual assistant page.
06Can you update homeowners in Spanish?
Yes, natively. Every Assistiq operator is a native Spanish speaker who is also fluent in English, so the same person handles both languages on every call, with no transfer to a different desk. In the Florida and Texas storm markets where insurance restoration volume concentrates, a meaningful share of homeowners prefer Spanish, and a milestone update delivered in their first language is the difference between a calm homeowner and a cancellation call. Coverage runs 24/7, scheduled per engagement, anchored on Eastern Time. Each operator works their tier hours on the schedule you choose, and staffing several shifts at once is a Team or Custom configuration.
