- Get intake ready for volume
- Plan crew capacity ahead
- Keep documentation moving
Storm season rewards the teams that prepared. When volume spikes, the difference between a great month and a missed one is intake and dispatch that hold up under load.
Get intake ready for volume
When losses arrive fast, every lead still needs to land on one record. Set up your intake so nothing slips during the surge, even when the phones do not stop.
Plan crew capacity ahead of time
Know who is on call, where they are, and how to route the next loss before the storm hits. Capacity planning is far easier in calm weather than in the middle of a surge.
Keep documentation moving
High volume is no excuse for thin documentation. Exterior photos, scope notes, and job status stay attached to each job so the claims do not pile up behind the work.
Field note
The teams that plan crew capacity in calm weather are the ones still standing during the surge.
The takeaway
Prepare intake, dispatch, and documentation before the surge, not during it.
