Who PSA is, briefly
PSA, from Canam Systems, is ERP-style software for property restoration contractors with modules for accounting, job management, CRM, customer communication, and reporting.
Also known as Canam Systems, Proven Software Applications.
We are not going to characterize PSA’s pricing or roadmap here — those change, and the vendor is the right source for them. What we can do is describe what RestoredOS is built to do, and when each tends to fit.
What RestoredOS is built around
RestoredOS was built by a restoration operator around one idea: every stage of the job should work from the same record, so nothing is re-keyed. In practice that means:
- Intake to job. The first notice of loss becomes a numbered lead, and the qualified lead becomes a job with the customer and cause attached.
- The job file. Documents by category, photos by day with optional AI labels, notes, a job email inbox, daily reports, and PDFs.
- Drying documentation. Chambers with S500 category and class, moisture points, daily readings, GPP and dew point, equipment-days, and a Mitigation Audit.
- Estimate to budget. Xactimate estimate PDFs are read into budget line items that drive the vendor buyout and schedule.
- Schedule, time, and job costing. A per-job Gantt, a weekly crew planner, and a GPS time clock against job and phase.
- Customers and referral sources. The ClientTrack homeowner portal and a field-sales CRM.
- Reyna, the AI assistant. Reads the job file, finds jobs, drafts emails, and assigns tasks.
Where each fits
PSA may be the better fit if you want restoration job management and full accounting in a single ERP.
Worth knowing: PSA includes built-in accounting. RestoredOS handles job costing, billing, AR, and payroll export, but it is not a general ledger — most RestoredOS customers keep their accounting system.
RestoredOS fits when you want intake, drying, the Xactimate-driven budget, scheduling, time, billing, CRM, and the homeowner portal on one restoration job record instead of across several tools. The fairest test is to walk one real loss through both, from first call to final invoice.
