About Albi Imagery

Built For Restorers, By Restorers

Albi was the brainchild of a restoration manager and a software developer. Alex Duta helped turn his dad’s Chicago-based water and fire damage restoration business into a multi-million dollar company. He remembers, “During that time, we struggled to find the right tools–especially software platforms that united fieldwork, office work, and customer-facing documents. Like other restorers, we were trying to stay on top of invoicing, scheduling, keeping track of important information, and getting bogged down with the details of running a business”.

Alex realized there was a major gap in the industry and that developing restoration-specific management software offered the potential for efficiency and growth. Friend and software developer Shamoil Soni, CTO, helped Alex bring his idea to life, and Albi was founded in 2020.
