Manager Statistics gives your team a real-time snapshot of all active jobs—what’s been packed out, what’s been cleaned, what’s pending, and which jobs require immediate attention.

Use this tool daily to:

  • Quickly determine which jobs should be worked on first

  • Identify contents that still need cleaning

  • Monitor job progress (0%–100%)

  • Track company-wide cleaning completion

  • Prioritize rush contents requested by insureds

  • Understand what must be pulled from vaults and brought into production

This is one of the most important administrative steps to keep production on schedule.


Steps: How to Prioritize Today’s Work

1. Open Manager Statistics

Hover over Production → select Manager Statistics.
You may have two jobs or one hundred—this view works for all cases.


2. Review Priority Jobs

You can mark any job as a priority job by clicking the priority icon.
Use this when a job has:

  • A pack-back date approaching

  • A homeowner or adjuster request

  • High-value or rush contents

  • Special instructions from management


3. Check Job Progress

Each job shows:

  • Age of the job

  • Number of items packed out

  • Boxes and single items

  • How many items have been cleaned

  • Percentage of completion

Example:
If a job shows 0% cleaned, you now know this job requires immediate attention.

Manager Statistics also shows your company-wide cleaning percentage—helpful when managing dozens of claims.


4. Identify Cleanable Items

Once you select a job to work on:

Hover over Production → click Contents Production
Search for the job name (e.g., “English Training”)
Filter by Item Status → Cleanable

This shows everything that still needs to be cleaned.


5. Understand Where Items Are Stored

Expand the triangles on the left to view locations.

For example:
If everything appears under Vault 11, you know exactly where your team must go.

You can choose to:

  • Bring the entire vault to production

  • Bring only furniture

  • Bring only ultrasonic boxes

  • Bring selected individual items

Important:
When working with boxes, always select the top-level box, not the individual items inside it.
Selecting items inside a box initiates an item-level transfer, which is not what you want.


6. Generate a Pick List

Once the items (or entire vault) are selected:

From the Actions Menu, choose Pick List
Name the pick list (e.g., Training English)
Click Continue

iCat will generate a printable PDF pick list, but most teams now use the digital pick list inside the iCat app for faster, real-time tracking.


7. Retrieve Contents with Your Team

Your technicians can:

  • Print the pick list
    or

  • Use the digital pick list on the app

  • Quickly locate the correct vault or items

  • Move them to the restoration room for cleaning

This ensures production teams start the day with clear direction.


What You Accomplish With This Workflow

By using Manager Statistics daily, your team can:

  • Stay proactive instead of reactive

  • Always know what needs to be cleaned next

  • Keep production flowing smoothly

  • Prevent delays near pack-back

  • Reduce confusion and wasted time in the warehouse
