On behalf of the User Group and Canam Systems, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your attendance at the recent Proven User Group Conference. Your presence and active participation were instrumental in enhancing the development of the Proven Software Applications (PSA) ERP system.


We appreciate the time and effort you each invested in attending the conference and sharing your invaluable insights and experiences with us. Your contributions to the discussions and networking sessions were incredibly valuable and helped to create a collaborative atmosphere that fostered innovation and growth. Thank you once again for your participation and for your ongoing support of our efforts to advance the systems and technology within the cleaning and restoration industry.

Proven User Group Sub-Committees


A key takeaway from the 2023 Proven User Conference Group was the formation of sub-committees regarding important industry software needs. Through your advocacy, we have been able to establish sub-committees that are dedicated to addressing the unique needs of the User Group and its various stakeholders. This will allow us to gather valuable insights and feedback from a diverse range of users and assist in tailoring the PSA development roadmap to meet the needs of the User Group in a more strategic and intentional way. It is through collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence that we are able to continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with the Proven Software Applications ERP system.


Over the next several months, each Committee Chair representative will be responsible for hosting a virtual call for laying the foundation for User Group needs and then setting expectations for PSA Development next steps. Each sub-committee call is to be hosted by the Committee Chair representative and they will partner with various stakeholders (i.e., interested users of the topic, a member of the PSA Development Team, & a member of the PSA Training Team). The goal of the sub-committee meeting is to gather and organize user feedback to drive results for system development. Thank you to the following users for volunteering as a Committee Chair. If you see a topic of interest, please reach out to the Committee Chair to ensure you are included on meeting invites moving forward.
