What Next Gear Solutions does

Next Gear Solutions, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreLogic (recently rebranded under the Cotality umbrella), is a provider of cloud-based management software for the property restoration industry. The company serves two primary customer segments: restoration contractors — including large franchise networks such as PuroClean (350+ locations), Rainbow International (300+ locations), and Paul Davis — and U.S. insurance carriers, with the platform adopted by 8,700+ restoration companies and trusted by a majority of the top 25 U.S. property insurers across North America. Its flagship product DASH is a web and mobile job management platform that centralizes job tracking, equipment management, documentation, communications, estimates, and analytics, surrounded by specialized modules including MICA and Mitigate for water mitigation, Engage for real-time field-to-homeowner communications, SettleAssist and FieldAssist for inspection and scoping, QA Assist for automated claims review, and BI Reporting for performance analytics.

The platform is built on Microsoft Azure infrastructure with SOC 2 Type II certified security across DASH, MICA/Mitigate, and SettleAssist, and integrates with CoreLogic's proprietary CoreAI engine for AI-powered features such as Image Analytics (computer vision photo tagging) and CoreLogic Property Data (auto-population of property intelligence). Next Gear also integrates with the industry's standard toolchain — Xactware/Xactimate, QuickBooks, Sage 100/300, Matterport, DocuSketch, Dri-Eaz Command Hub, Contractor Connection, Claims Connect, and SeekNow — positioning DASH as a workflow hub for restoration operations.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS subscription licensing with quote-based pricing, sold via an enterprise field sales motion targeting multi-location franchises and a sales-led consultative implementation model (stretch-walk-run) for mid-market and SMB customers. The company was founded in Oxford, Mississippi, has 51-100 employees distributed across 22 states and three countries, and has historically pursued an aggressive inorganic growth strategy (acquiring ClientRunner, Luxor CRM, MICA, Moisture Mapper International, and Accurence between 2016 and 2019) before being acquired by CoreLogic in September 2021. Post-acquisition, Next Gear continues to operate under its brand identity while leveraging CoreLogic's data assets and parent distribution.

Scale indicators7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• JobProgress: Leading cloud-based CRM, job management and marketing platform purpose-built for property restoration contractors. Direct head-to-head competitor with Next Gear in the same contractor customer base, with comparable subscription pricing and workflow claims.
• Encircle: Restoration-documentation platform offering photo, sketch and content capture tools for property claims and mitigation workflows. Comparable as a vertical restoration software suite with overlapping job-documentation, estimating and carrier-compliance capabilities.

Emerging players

• Hover (Hover.to): Mobile 3D-capture and property-measurement platform used across insurance, restoration and home improvement. Comparable as an emerging property-visualization player whose measurement and exterior visualization overlap with Next Gear's Mitigate LiDAR and sketching toolset.
• DocuSketch: 3D-documentation and sketching technology embedded into restoration job files. Comparable as an emerging, narrowly focused player that complements or substitutes parts of Next Gear's FieldAssist/SettleAssist inspection stack through deep integration.

Broad incumbents

• ServiceTitan: Large, public field-service management platform serving residential and commercial trades including HVAC, plumbing and restoration. Comparable as a broader trades FSM platform that restoration contractors sometimes use in lieu of vertical-specific tools like Next Gear.
• Xactware (Verisk): Xactware, a Verisk business, dominates residential and commercial property estimating with Xactimate and XactAnalysis. Comparable as the de facto standard for restoration estimation and the central system Next Gear integrates with via DASH/Xactware bridges.
• Verisk: Insurance-vertical analytics and data provider whose property-and-casualty claims solutions (including Xactware) compete with CoreLogic/NGS for insurer claims workflow share. Comparable as a broad incumbent providing analytics, claims and restoration data infrastructure to insurance carriers.
• Jobber: SMB-focused field service management suite used by small home-services contractors, including restoration operators at the lower end of the market. Comparable as a horizontal FSM alternative for smaller restoration accounts that find Next Gear's enterprise SKU more than they need.
• EagleView: Aerial imagery, property measurements and AI-derived property intelligence widely used in insurance claims workflows. Comparable as an incumbent property-intelligence data layer feeding both carrier and restoration contractor workflows that Next Gear also depends on.
• CoreLogic / Cotality: Parent company of Next Gear Solutions since September 2021, providing property data, analytics and workflow software to insurers, lenders and government. Comparable as the strategic acquirer whose property data and AI capabilities now sit behind Next Gear's restoration workflow.
