How it works
Your accounting holds the numbers. Your tools hold the jobs. Your inbox holds the argument. And a good deal of it was only ever said out loud. Verinode reads all of it and turns it into peer benchmarks and decisions. Nothing to install. Nothing to switch.
You don’t connect to Verinode.
Verinode reads what you already use.
Start here
This is the question everyone asks first, so here is the whole answer. Connect a system once and Verinode reads it directly. Let a tool with no API send its own export. Hand something over in the moment: forward it, upload it, photograph it. Or just talk, and let what you said be the record. 26 of these work today.
Authorize it once and Verinode reads the system of record itself. Nothing to remember, nothing to send.
For the tools with no API. The tool sends its own output to Verinode on a schedule you set once.
Hand something over the moment you have it, from a desk or a job site. No setup at all.
The conversation is the data. What you say to IQ, and what gets said in your meetings and on your calls, comes in as evidence.



The tools you already use
If your tool can export a file, Verinode can read it. You export, Verinode reads. No API to wire up, no connector to wait for, no system to replace. The numbers land next to your email so the whole picture of a job sits in one place.
Accounting & books
QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or any P&L export
Gross margin, AR aging, and expenses mapped to the restoration chart of accounts.
Estimating
Xactimate, Symbility, or any estimate export
Line items, scope, and the supplements you did, and didn't, get approved.
Field documentation & photos
Encircle, CompanyCam, DASH, and the field apps your crews run
Scope, photos, moisture readings, and equipment-on-site logs.
Job & project management
DASH, Albi, JobNimbus, iRestore, AccuLynx, or your CRM export
Status, timestamps, and the timeline a job actually moved through.
Materials & suppliers
Supplier invoices, purchase-order exports, or a materials spreadsheet
What you actually pay for materials, line by line, benchmarked against what the network pays.
Time & payroll
ADP, Gusto, ClockShark, busybusy, or a timesheet export
Field hours that become fully burdened labor cost, per job and per crew.
Equipment & fleet
Your asset tracker, maintenance log, or a spreadsheet
Utilization, runtime, and what your equipment and trucks really cost per job.
Examples, not a complete list. Naming a tool means we can read its export, not that we are affiliated with it. If your tool exports a file, Verinode can read it, and new ones are added as operators bring them. See where the numbers come from in the methodology, or read The Data You Already Own.
One pipeline
Email, documents, photos, voice, pasted text, and tool exports all converge on a single extraction path. However it arrives, it is read the same way, structured into operating data, and carries a receipt of exactly what was read, kept, dropped, or corrected. The quality of ingestion is measured, not assumed.
One extraction pipeline
Read, structured, receipted.
Structured operating data
Yours, then compared
Your structured data lands in a vault encrypted under a key scoped to your account, walled off in its own boundary. The only thing that ever crosses out of your side is an anonymized number, and even that is built so no single business can be picked out of it. That is what becomes the peer benchmarks, and what comes back to you as the few decisions worth your week.
Your data stays yours
Your vault is encrypted under a key scoped to your account. No other operator or carrier can read it, and no Verinode employee can browse or export it through any tool we operate. Our automated systems decrypt it only to run the product, and every access is logged.
Your records live in an isolated boundary with row-level security on every table. No other operator, no vendor, and no carrier can read them.
Every action taken on your data is written to your own security log. Reviewable, auditable, and revocable at any time.
Why the benchmark is safe to feed
Before anything contributes to a benchmark, your identity is replaced with a one-way hash that cannot be reversed. Your raw records never leave your side.
A benchmark only appears once enough separate operators are in the cohort that no single business's number can be worked back out — and the floor rises for sensitive financial data.
Anonymized aggregates build peer benchmarks for operators, and only for operators. They are never shared with anyone.
The deeper technical shape of the trust boundary is in the architecture. More on how aggregation protects you: Anonymized Before It’s Pooled.
Forward one email or drop in one export. See your first benchmark, and the first decision, from data that was already sitting in your business.
