What We See in Your Industry

These patterns show up again and again in businesses like yours.

Crews are strong, but the office chaos is real
The owner or foreman is always on the phone
Estimates go out, but follow-up is inconsistent
Job details scattered across texts, emails, and notepads
Reviews don't show how much work you've actually done
You've hit a ceiling because operational capacity limits growth

60 Days In: What Actually Changes

Anonymized snapshot from a paving and concrete operator north of Everett — small office, two crews, one tired owner.

Before
  • ✕Owner answering 12+ calls a week from the cab of a truck or the edge of a job site
  • ✕Estimates living in a notebook, the truck console, and three different text threads
  • ✕Dispatch run by the foreman's memory and a whiteboard nobody sees after 4 PM
  • ✕Paper invoices delivered by hand — bookkeeper rekeying everything into QuickBooks on Fridays
  • ✕Reviews: 12 Google reviews after eight years in business
  • ✕Bilingual crew running Spanish-only WhatsApp threads disconnected from the office
After
  • ✓AI Voice Agent catches every after-hours call and texts the owner only when a job is qualified
  • ✓Every estimate logged in the CRM with stage, owner, and next follow-up date — visible to the office
  • ✓Jobs flow into ServiceTitan with crew assignments, photos from CompanyCam, and material orders attached
  • ✓Mobile invoicing on-site — synced to QuickBooks Online, paid by ACH or card before the truck leaves the driveway
  • ✓Reviews: 38 new Google reviews in 90 days, automated requests after every invoice paid
  • ✓Bilingual SOPs and bilingual AI scripts — Spanish-speaking foreman and English-speaking office finally see the same job board

Trades-Specific Questions We Hear Every Week

If you've asked any of these in the last six months, you're in the right place.

Will this integrate with ServiceTitan, Jobber, or HouseCall Pro?+
Yes. We build directly into ServiceTitan, Jobber, and HouseCall Pro for dispatch, jobs, customers, and invoicing. If you're on Buildertrend or Procore for projects, we layer in too. We don't force you off your field software — we make it talk to the rest of your stack.
What about my dispatch board and the foreman's whiteboard?+
We start by watching how dispatch actually works for two weeks before we touch anything. Most shops keep the whiteboard for visual scheduling and bolt our system on top so it survives slow-internet job sites and crews who don't want to learn another app. We automate the parts that bleed money — confirmations, no-show alerts, schedule changes — without breaking what your foreman already runs.
How do you handle bilingual crews? My foreman runs Spanish-only WhatsApp threads.+
Our team is bilingual end-to-end. We build SOPs in Spanish and English, train your office and your crew leads in their native language, and configure AI agents that switch based on the caller. Spanish-language voicemails, intake forms, and review requests are first-class — not a translation afterthought.
Do you support QuickBooks Online and integrate with our bookkeeper?+
Yes. Job costing, invoices, payments, and AR aging flow into QuickBooks Online so your bookkeeper isn't rekeying things on Fridays. We can also pipe job profitability dashboards straight from QBO so you can see margin per job, not just revenue.
What about union shops, prevailing wage, and certified payroll?+
We don't replace your payroll provider — we plug into it. For union and prevailing-wage jobs we keep the certified payroll workflow your accountant already runs, and we layer on top with crew time tracking and job costing so prevailing-wage jobs don't surprise you on Friday afternoon.
How long until we actually see fewer missed calls?+
AI Voice Agent and missed-call text-back go live inside the first 7 to 14 days for most trades shops. Owners typically see the first recovered job — the one that pays for the whole engagement — inside the first 30 days. Full CRM, dashboards, and reputation engine are live by day 60.
