SEATTLE, March 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Porch Group, Inc. (“Porch” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: PRCH), a leading vertical software company reinventing the home services industry, today announced a training partnership with ATI Home Inspector Training (“ATI”), one of the largest and only family owned national home inspector training schools. Through the partnership, ATI Home Inspector Training will provide graduates with a Porch software package to jumpstart their businesses, providing the necessary technology infrastructure to grow and scale.

Identifying practical and easily integrated software that includes scheduling, data retention, and customer relationship management, is often a challenge for home services companies and professionals. Porch and ATI’s training partnership provides new ATI training school graduates, who are beginning their careers as home inspectors, quick and comprehensive solutions to supplement their work.

To facilitate broader engagement in the professional home inspection community, ATI will also be joining Porch’s Inspection Fuel Tour and provide participating inspectors with free continuing education credits. ATI Home Inspector Training offers in-person instruction in 48 states complete with a pass rate guarantee for professional training courses.

“Our partnership with ATI Home Inspector Training furthers our commitment to equip the next generation of home inspectors with Porch’s comprehensive network of powerful software solutions,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Porch founder, chairman, and CEO. “Training school graduates gain access to a robust support system designed to launch and sustain their business effectively. This partnership represents an important step in broadening the reach of the Porch network of home service companies and professionals.”

ATI Home Inspection Training founder, Scott Newcomer, emphasizes, “At ATI, we often say we want our inspectors to be more than just certified—we want them to become qualified. Put simply, our classes are much more than a one-off certification process. Our approved practices and field experience requirements along with the available mentorship and support allow more of our inspectors to complete the course with the toolkit they need for success.”

Innovating in the property technology space, Porch creates bespoke products for industry professionals to optimize and drive efficiency in their work.
