KITCHENER, ON, November 7, 2025 鈥� 吃瓜不打烊, the leading field documentation platform for restoration contractors, today announced the acquisition of The Edge, the industry鈥檚 fastest, most defensible Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimating tool 鈥� created by restoration expert Thomas McGuire.

Designed for restoration professionals, The Edge solves two of the industry鈥檚 most persistent challenges: speed and labor defensibility. Built on decades of real-world production data, The Edge helps contractors produce credible ROMs complete with labor plans and high-level estimates in minutes 鈥� not days. Combined with the job site evidence captured in 吃瓜不打烊, restorers can move from initial inspection to job start faster than ever before.

鈥淟abor is the single biggest cost 鈥� and the single biggest headache 鈥� for restorers today,鈥� said Paul Donald, CEO of 吃瓜不打烊. 鈥淏y bringing The Edge into 吃瓜不打烊, we鈥檙e giving contractors the speed and accuracy they need to win jobs, secure approvals faster, and protect their margins. It鈥檚 about turning labor from a liability into a competitive advantage.鈥�

A New Standard for Speed and Defensibility

By leveraging real-world production rates and historical cost ratios, The Edge produces accurate, consistent ROM estimates that help contractors:

• Deliver credible budget numbers in 15鈥�45 minutes
• Win competitive bids faster with defensible estimates
• Justify labor and materials with proven production-rate data
• Establish clear guideposts for large loss and commercial work

The Edge鈥檚 ROMs consistently fall within 5鈥�10% of actual Time & Material (T&M) costs, helping contractors set transparent expectations, reduce disputes, and protect profit on every job.

鈥淚 built The Edge after decades of seeing where restorers struggled most 鈥� justifying labor,鈥� said Tom McGuire, creator of The Edge and founder of Large Loss Mastery. 鈥淭oo many great contractors lose profit because they can鈥檛 defend their numbers. The Edge changes that. By joining forces with 吃瓜不打烊, we can help restorers back every estimate with evidence 鈥� and take control of their profitability.鈥�

吃瓜不打烊 + The Edge: A Complete, Evidence-Based Workflow

The acquisition of The Edge extends the 吃瓜不打烊 mission to help restoration businesses run stronger, more profitable operations.

吃瓜不打烊 simplifies and speeds up field documentation 鈥� capturing every photo, video floor plan, note and moisture reading on-site. The Edge turns job details into a defensible ROM estimate built on decades of real production performance.

Used together, they provide restorers with a powerful end-to-end workflow:

Inspect & Document (吃瓜不打烊) 鈫� Estimate & Win (The Edge) 鈫� Mobilize with Confidence

Future Outlook

吃瓜不打烊 plans to integrate The Edge鈥檚 capabilities into the upcoming AI-powered scoping and estimating product. By combining decades of human expertise with advanced automation and intelligence, 吃瓜不打烊 will continue to solve the problems restorations contractors face.

鈥淭his acquisition sets the foundation for the next era of estimating 鈥� one that combines the accuracy of human expertise with the speed of automation,鈥� said Paul Donald. 鈥淭ogether, 吃瓜不打烊 and The Edge give restorers the confidence to document, estimate, and win faster 鈥� all backed by undeniable proof.鈥�

KITCHENER, ON, September 4, 2025 鈥� 吃瓜不打烊, the leading field documentation platform for the property restoration industry, today announced the launch of 吃瓜不打烊 Payments, a new integrated feature that allows restoration contractors to collect insurance deductibles and mitigation deposits in the field鈥攄irectly in the 吃瓜不打烊 app.

According to the 2024 C&R State of the Industry Report, cash flow has become the #1 concern for contractors, with 75% of contractors waiting more than 30 days to get paid. At the same time, the 2024 RIA Cost of Doing Business Report found that 22% of a contractor鈥檚 annual revenue is tied up in unpaid invoices, the largest asset category across all company sizes. Compounding the issue, over 52% of firms reported net income under 10%, leaving little room for delayed payments.

鈥淕etting paid shouldn鈥檛 be the hardest part of the job,鈥� said Paul Donald, CEO of 吃瓜不打烊. 鈥湷怨喜淮蜢� Payments gives our customers a simple, secure way to collect deposits and deductibles on the spot in the app they are already using to document the job. It鈥檚 just one more way we鈥檙e helping contractors protect their margins.鈥�

A recent survey of 吃瓜不打烊 users revealed that more than 70% of contractors collect deposits or deductibles on at least half of their jobs, yet most rely on outdated methods like paper checks or phone-in credit card numbers鈥攚hich are slow, manual, and difficult to track.

吃瓜不打烊 Payments allows any team member to request and collect payments via Tap to Pay or by secure text or email link. Each transaction is automatically recorded in the job file and processed securely via Stripe, ensuring full PCI compliance.

Key benefits of 吃瓜不打烊 Payments:

• Faster collections: Request and collect payments instantly from the field
• Improved cash flow: Get money in the bank before the work begins
• Better customer experience: Secure payments and instant receipts for homeowners
• Fewer tools to manage: No more toggling between apps or calling the office

Since the February rollout, hundreds of restoration businesses have adopted the integration, significantly reducing documentation errors and speeding up and improving the accuracy of their water mitigation workflows.

This data helps contractors track drying progress, meet compliance standards and get paid faster鈥攁ll while cutting down on paperwork and back-and-forth with adjusters.

“My techs really like the Bluetooth integration鈥攖aking consistent readings has become second nature,鈥� shares Norman Hess, Production Manager at Belfor Restoration Group. 鈥淚t was the missing link for fast, accurate moisture documentation鈥攁nd now they just tap a button or take a photo.鈥�

Technicians can also use 吃瓜不打烊鈥檚 dual capture mode: snapping a photo of the Tramex meter screen while simultaneously logging the reading. This feature adds visual proof to each data point, creating a time-stamped, verifiable record for carriers and compliance audits.

鈥淲hen it comes to water mitigation, real-time accuracy is everything,鈥� said Ryan Stanley, Global Head of Sales at Tramex. 鈥淭his integration gives technicians the confidence that their data is correct, complete and instantly stored. It鈥檚 a major step forward in automation and accountability鈥攁nd we鈥檙e proud to be part of that progress.鈥�

The early results are clear: less rework, fewer errors and faster payouts. Contractors using 吃瓜不打烊 and Tramex are now better equipped to handle complex jobs with confidence, knowing their moisture data is backed by best-in-class tools and technology.
