Chronicle vs. Other Claims Management Systems

Claims management is a requirement in insurance company programs. But Chronicle offers something substantially more than claims management software, even if that software includes some job management features. Chronicle is production and operations management software; it’s comprehensive, provides a level of protection for your business, and was born out of running a ServiceMaster franchise.

Systems to help manage your business do many of the same things. In comparing them, you must know what’s unique—what each has that you can’t get elsewhere.

This page highlights some of Chronicle’s strengths and abilities missing in some other systems.
