About
MagicPlan is a purpose-built restoration workflow software designed to bridge the gap between field crews and office teams. With a 4.7-star rating and over 290,000 app store ratings, it is trusted by restoration companies worldwide to streamline how job sites are documented, scoped, and communicated. During a single site walkthrough, technicians can capture job basics, complete checklists and forms, take moisture readings, sketch floor plans, and log initial conditions — all within the same workflow. Photos, videos, and 360° imagery are automatically linked to specific rooms and damage areas, eliminating disorganized photo dumps and mislabeled files. The platform's upcoming Scope of Work feature will allow field teams to build a complete ESX directly on-site from their captured data, including line items, quantities, and room breakdowns — with direct Xactimate® export, removing redundant data entry entirely. Office teams gain real-time visibility into what has been documented without needing to call field crews for status updates, improving team alignment and accelerating the claims and quoting process. Customers have reported saving up to 70% of time previously spent on measuring, drawing, and quoting, and have eliminated the need for return site visits. MagicPlan is ideal for restoration contractors, flooring companies, property damage assessors, and facilities management teams.
