When the firm runs on scattered files, things slip

Most independent adjusting firms don't lose claims because the work is hard. They lose them in the gaps: a diary that nobody owns, a supplement waiting on a carrier, an invoice that aged past 90 days while everyone assumed it was just slow.

If you own or manage an IA firm, you're accountable for two things at once: every claim moving forward, and every dollar getting billed and collected. But the information that tells you whether that's happening lives in a dozen places. Claim status sits in one system, files in a shared drive, T&E in a spreadsheet, fee schedules in a binder, and receivables in whatever your bookkeeper last exported. The result is a firm that's busy but hard to see.

FileRidge is operations software built for that exact job. It pulls claims, files, diaries, time and expense, carrier fee schedules, invoices, and receivables into a single operating view, then surfaces the follow-ups, file exceptions, invoice aging, and field updates that need attention. It is not field estimating or inspection software, and it is not public-adjuster settlement tooling. It is the firm's operational backbone. See the full system on the features page or how the pieces connect in how it works.

Every claim and file in one operating picture

Open the dashboard and see the whole firm: what's active, what's stalled, and what's owed, without logging into four tools to assemble the answer.

One firm-wide dashboard

Claims, files, and receivables share a single view so owners and claims managers track throughput without rebuilding a status report by hand each week.

Claims, files, and diaries together

Each claim carries its documents, status, assigned adjuster, and open diary items, so the people who work it and the people who manage it see the same record.

Unlimited claims and carriers

No caps on claims or carriers. Whether you handle three carriers or thirty, the operating view holds the full book without per-claim charges.

Invoice aging you can actually see, across every carrier

Firm-level financial visibility is the wedge: tie carrier fee schedules to automatic invoice generation, then watch aging by carrier so slow pay never becomes lost revenue.

Fee schedules to invoices, automatically

Set each carrier's fee schedule once. As claims move, FileRidge calculates the fee and generates the invoice, including flat-rate and time-and-expense work.

Aging by carrier, in plain buckets

Watch outstanding invoices move through 30, 60, 90, and 120+ day buckets per carrier, so you know what to chase instead of guessing what's lost.

Real-time receivables reporting

Owners see what's billed, unbilled, and overdue in real time, turning receivables from a month-end surprise into a number you manage all month.

Go deeper on the money side in receivables and invoice aging.

Diaries, follow-ups, and file exceptions that surface themselves

The firm's reputation rides on responsiveness. FileRidge raises what's overdue or missing instead of waiting for someone to notice.

Diaries and follow-ups with an owner

Every diary item is tied to a claim and an adjuster, so the next action is visible and accountable rather than living in someone's inbox.

File exceptions flagged early

Missing reports, stalled supplements, and claims past their expected milestone surface as exceptions, so problems show up while there's still time to fix them.

Carrier service standards, kept

First contact, first report, and interim report timing stay visible at the firm level, helping you hold carrier service standards across the whole book.

What happens in the field reaches the firm the same day

The gap between a site visit and an updated file is where status goes stale. FileRidge shortens it with hands-free logging and shared visibility.

AI voice field logging

Adjusters log time, expenses, and claim notes by voice from the field, so T&E and updates land on the file the same day instead of at the end of the week.

Files and photos to the cloud

Documents and photos attach to the claim and sync to secure cloud storage, so the office sees field work without chasing attachments.

Shared status for office and field

Office staff, claims managers, and field adjusters work from one record, so a question answered in the field is a question answered for the firm.

Predictable per-seat pricing built for firms, not enterprises

$40 per user per month, all features included, month-to-month with no long contract, and no claim or carrier limits to model around.

One price, every feature

No tiers and no feature gates. Every seat gets claims, billing, receivables, voice logging, and reporting, so cost scales with people, not modules.

Month-to-month, no lock-in

Add or remove seats as your firm's headcount moves with the season. No long-term contract, and your data is exportable when you need it.

Encrypted by default

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on secure cloud infrastructure, so firm and claim information stays protected without enterprise overhead.

Where FileRidge fits among adjusting platforms

Based on publicly available information as of publication, the established tools each serve a different center of gravity. FileRidge is built for the IA firm's operations and receivables.

  • Receivables and invoice aging across every carrier sit next to claim status in one operating view.
  • Right-sized for growing firms: flat $40 per seat, every feature, month-to-month.

Questions firms ask about IA software

What is software for independent adjusting firms?

It is operations software built for the IA firm rather than the individual field adjuster. FileRidge keeps claims, files, diaries, time and expense, fee schedules, invoices, and receivables in one view so owners and claims managers can see throughput and cash flow without stitching together spreadsheets and email.

How is FileRidge different from estimating or inspection tools?

Estimating and inspection tools handle the field measurement and scope of a single loss. FileRidge sits a level up at the firm: it tracks the operational status of every claim, surfaces file exceptions and follow-ups, and ties carrier fee schedules to invoice generation and receivables across the whole book.

How much does FileRidge cost for an adjusting firm?

FileRidge is $40 per user per month with all features included, billed month-to-month with no long-term contract. There are no claim or carrier limits, so pricing scales predictably as you add or remove seats.

Can I move our existing claims and data into FileRidge?

Yes. Implementation can include data migration, system setup, and team training, scoped to your current workflow. Your data stays exportable when you need it, and after cancellation it is retained for 90 days before permanent deletion.
