Trades

Trade businesses lose money in the handoffs.

Between office, field, foreman, PM, and finance — small visibility gaps turn into real margin loss. We build the function that makes those handoffs visible.

Who This Is For

Electrical

Labor hours logged without production context. Change orders executed before pricing.

Mechanical / HVAC

Multi-system coordination across jobs. PM reporting consumes hours weekly.

Plumbing

Field-to-office handoff gaps. Billing packages lag behind completed work.

Concrete / Civil

Crew productivity invisible beyond payroll. Estimate lessons never feed back.

Roofing / Fire Protection

Service-to-billing disconnect. Dispatch, project, and finance in separate systems.

Field Service / Low-Voltage

Recurring work revenue leaks through dispatch gaps. No consolidated owner view.

What Goes Wrong

Labor hours logged without production context — payroll knows the cost, nobody knows the output

Crew performance hidden inside payroll-only reporting

Change requests not turned into recoverable revenue

Dispatch, project, and billing systems disconnected

Owners stuck translating between software, spreadsheets, and people

Estimating lessons locked in people’s heads instead of feeding future bids

What Gets Installed

The reporting systems, workflow logic, dashboards, and agents that give your operation real visibility.

Crew and Labor Visibility

Hours tied to production output by crew, foreman, and job phase

Production Reporting

Field production data flowing to the office in time to act on it

Field Capture Workflows

Photo, note, and issue capture tied to jobs and billable work

Service-to-Billing Handoffs

Completed work routed to billing automatically with proper documentation

Recurring Reporting Cadence

Weekly reports that surface problems before they compound

Estimate Feedback Loops

Actual costs feeding back into future bids systematically

Owner Dashboards

One view of revenue, margin, backlog, cash, labor, and risk

Operational Agents

Automated systems that handle recurring reporting, status updates, and alert routing

Our monthly close went from 18 days to 3. We went from guessing at job profitability to seeing it in real time. The ROI was obvious within the first quarter.

Your operation already has the data. It just needs the systems to make it visible.
